This is in the history section referring to MRI results 

"there is a patchy focus of "MARROW" signal alteration that has developed at the T7 level, which is essentially "OF ANTI COLY" morphology to a stable "MARROW" signal abnormality at T9."

Cervical spine x-rays have been obtained, which revealed no evidence of cervical rib.  Documentation did reveal findings of diffuse degenerative disease in the cervical spine with pronounced osteophytic growth in the s/l angioportions of C4-C7. 

Is angioportions correct?  I cannot find good documentation. 

Recommendations were to obtain brain and cervical spine MRI for the possible of central s/l de mon ing disorder. 

Any ideas?  Appreciate the help!

Neurology -

Okay I have 2 questions.  I'll just go ahead and paste in the parts that I need help with:

1.  Chordee with pain and scrotal engulfment.  For this one just want to make sure that the word in bold is the correct spelling for this type of report. 

2.  Penoplasty with _____ flaps.  The blank s/l Bier's flap, but not sure of the spelling.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 Two questions please: What is the proper way to type this?  Are my caps incorrect?

Just add me to your Yahoo IM and as long as I am online (and that's quite a bit), I'll help with BOS-2 questions!

No lengthy conversations, though, and no e-mails, please.

asking are very, very basic.  You might be getting in over your head if these terms are unfamiliar to you.  Maybe you are just nervous about taking a test and are struggling because of that.  I hope that is the case.  However, it is my opinion that asking for others for help on a test is cheating.  I'm sure you probably didn't think of it this way, otherwise you would not have shared at this point that you are testing.  Iknow you are desperate for help, but the company is testing YOU, not us on the word board.  You have to stand on your own skills when testing.  If you don't pass, then it means you are not ready.  Good luck to you.

I have a few questions:

1. Patient worked as a bartender in "Mike Dulin's". (The patient lives in NJ, if that helps.)

2. Regarding meds, doctor says Nasacort 8 q.  Is this supposed to mean q 8?

3. Under PE, eyes revealed s/l *archosenilis*.

4. The patient has severe COPD with PFTs severely reduced. Then doctor says "The patient was unable to *apiliprate* on nitrogen washout for lung volumes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! :)
