ESWL expansion?
Subject: ESWL expansion?
I have always been taught ESWL stood for electric shock wave lithotripsy. However, I stumbled upon a web site today for says ESWL stands for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Are these interchangeable?? Which do you use when your doc just says "ESWL" and you need to expand it?
Thanks for any info!
Correct expansion of CPK
Subject: Correct expansion of CPK
CPK stands for CREATINE phosphokinase. Use of CREATININE phosphokinase to stand for CPK is a common mistake made by many docs and MTs. I don't think a CPK level would be a first-round test for fatigue.

they put in tissue expanders before actually doing the tissue expansion in which patients return for fills to the expanders until they are at a proper volume, usually at which point the expanders get changed out for permanent implants (gel or saline).

but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue. I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget. I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term. Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days! Glad we could help you!
Do you use word expansion software?
Subject: Do you use word expansion software?
I use SmartType and something similar happened to me regarding the gobbling up and the hour glass going crazy. I ended up getting more computer memory and it quit happening. Also, if Word 2003 is bundled with MicroSoft Works or MicroSoft Office, it will also happen.

Sentence reads:
Smear was reviewed and showed macrocytes, occasional macrocytic cells, but not hyperchromic, occasional basophilic stippling, a few polys with 4-5 lobes but none with more than 5 lobes and less than 20% has 5 lobes, no granulation of her polys, no S/L Pelletier-Hewett cells?
She is talking like her pants are on fire, so it is hard to decipher any of this...
Thank you

only psych reference book I had. It was the old Stedman's one that had psych and neuro mixed together. HATED that book, LOL.
