glissement, you won't get what you need. You need to limit your results to those that are relevant to your topic by adding associated terms to your search. Try the two words "glissement" and "knee" (without the quotes). There will be a lot of results in French, but even if you can't read French, you will be able to see that they are relevant to your topic. There are, however, a few that use "glissement" in an English context, which should give you more confidence. In any event, it's your initials on the report, so you handled it in the way that is most comfortable for you. I could be wrong, of course, but I suspect that it will turn out to be "glissement".

trademark or register information from the manufacturer does not make it Nitropaste but rather nitro (glycerin) paste. Just my opinion. There ARE registered names for nitro paste but this I believe is doc slang for generic nitroglycerin paste.

Regarding letter h (hour) per BOS...please sm
Letter h. (with a period) is the abbreviation for the Latin word hora, meaning hour.
q.6 h. (every 6 hours)
In instructions for medications, Latin abbreviations may be coupled with English terms, such as hour. These may be transcribed as dictated or the English translated to Latin.
every 4 hours or q.4 hours or q.4 h or q.4 h Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription. So does this mean we can do the q.4 h without the period at the end of h, because I am constantly having to remove capital letters from words following the h with a period. Thanks.
