Neurologic exam/history and physical exam does reveal the patient with parkinsonian features. We are going to go ahead and change him from Sinemet 25/100 mg to Stalevo 100 mg, one in the morning and one at midday, since he really only takes it twice a day. If this does not help, we may try going back to the Sinemet and then trying Azilect for the freezing. I think that may be of great benefit to him, despite the MALB inhibitor.

This is listed under the PMH: Do these numbers look right? My question is really the
"FEF 25 to 75 1.66 (65%). " Does this look right? not sure how to type the 75 1.66. ... MD says it like this:
"FEF 25 to 75 one point six six and parentheseses 65%"
Pulmonary – status post pulmonary embolus, status post a prolonged road trip. Coumadin was discontinued in April and MTHFR Heterozygote with an elevated homocysteine level. She has been maintained on Folate. She has also been treated for asthma. Pulmonary function tests in December of 2002 demonstrated a FEV1 of 1.86 (79%), and FVC of 2.41 (83%) an FEV1 of 77% and FEF 25 to 75 1.66 (65%).

Note the doctor does say construction, not reconstruction can this also be correct? TIA.

not sure but I found one paragraph thru google about dacron wool........being used on a patient:
Once cooling to -79 C was complete the patient was lifted out of the Silcool bath, the outer, Silcool wetted plastic bag was stripped off and the patient was placed within a polyester cloth bag which was in turn placed inside a standard aluminum neurocan which had been precooled to -90 and packed with dacron
wool. Temperature probes were left externalized to the neurocan for subsequent cooling to -196 C.
I don't really think this is going to help you though but I tried!!

Your sound-alike brings to my mind: gorge; as engorged. Definition: gorge, glut; especially: to fill with blood to the point of congestion. Just an educated guess though. Good luck.
This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message
Subject: This paragraph shows AZT for baby -see message
If an HIV positive woman is taking AZT then it will probably be recommended that her baby is given AZT (usually as a syrup) for the first six weeks of its life starting 8-12 hours after birth. Alternatively, if the mother has taken AZT and 3TC during labour then an effective regime for the baby would be one week of AZT and 3TC.
If only limited AZT is available then one week of AZT can be given to the baby. If only single dose AZT is available then the baby can have this combined with a single dose of NVP, and if no AZT is available then the baby can have a single dose of NVP to help protect it.
Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..
Subject: Here is the paragraph for the s/l line infection evaluation..
Patient here today for a post-op s/l line infection evaluation. She has been doing daily wet to dry dressing changes and today the wound breadown area is less than a cm across and with probing with a Q-tip will not extend any greater than 2 cm in the area. I do not think that this continues to require any packing. I have recommended that she just keep gauze over the area for the drainage. thank you

concerning partial glossectomy
Subject: concerning partial glossectomy
The phrase he uses is enteral partial glossectomy. Am I hearing the enteral word correctly? I cannot verify this and it really does not sound right because enteral would be referring more to the intestine. I'm thinking it is another word and I'm just not catching it tonight.
Honestly - the last 10 days have been simply cram-packed with all kinds of things and I am run down and just about brain dead tonight! I'm sure you all can relate but if someone could help with this word, I'd appreciate it!! Thanks to all!
Here's a partial sample
Subject: Here's a partial sample
Procedure: Patient was brought to the operating room where general anesthesia was administered. Examination under anesthesia revealed a uterus of approximately 8 to 10 week size. No adnexal masses were appreciated. Patient was prepped and draped in the usual manner for vaginal surgery. A weighted retractor was placed in the posterior aspect of the vagina. Anterior lip of cervix grasped with tenaculum. The cervix was then progressively dilated with Pratt dilators, and a #8 curved suction curette easily introduced into the uterine cavity. Products of conception were then evacuated. The uterine cavity was then sharply curetted and additional tissues sent to pathology. The tenaculum and retractor were then removed, and procedure was thus completed. Estimated blood loss was minimal. Patient tolerated the procedure well and taken to recovery room in stable condition.
