Trouble with a Japanese accent. - kris04

Posted: Dec 30, 2010

I am transcribing for a Japanese doctor and there are a few words I for the life of me cannot understand.

#1: 1. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome related complex with moderately severe neuropathy. 2. Pancytopenia secondary to #1. 3. Status-post left hemispheric CVA with _____ mild right hemiparesis.

Sounds like dee-sald-in and I figured the "in" is "and". I tried to think of words that meant "not as much" since mild was also used in the sentence.

#2: The patient has a Vas-Cath placed for subsequent plasmapheresis. The patient developed significant hypertension with markedly elevated ______ parameters associated with progressive weakness.

sounds like "quoting"

Perchance these will work - Oracle

1) CVA with descending mild right hemiparesis.

2) hypertension with markedly elevated clotting parameters

Thank you! - kris04

2) is right on thanks so much! 1) sounds like it could work as well I'll listen some more.

Other possibilities - Just passing through

If you really think the ending of the first one is “and” it could be any one of a number of things. You may need to leave a blank.

Below are common complications of CVAs.

Complications and sequelae of cerebrovascular accident from the Diseases Database include:

10th cranial nerve disorder
12th cranial nerve disorder
Acute confusional state
Cerebellar syndrome
Cerebral edema
Chronic brain failure
Cranial nerve disorder
Creatinine kinase levels raised (plasma or serum)
Dizziness
Dysarthria
Dysphagia
Dysphasia
Dysphonia
Gliosis
Headache
Hypertension, systemic
Hyperventilation
Incontinence, urine
Involuntary muscular movements
Muscle weakness
Nystagmus
Paresthesia
Pseudobulbar palsy
SIADH
Spastic ataxia
Tremor
Upper motor neuron lesion
Visual impairment

can you hear dysphasia? - see message

...CVA with dysphsia with mild right hemiparesis.

I agree with clotting parameters.

definitely not dysphasia - kris04

it sounds like "...CVA wis de-zal-din mild right..." almost like discertain or something.

Got it : ) - sm

Any help is appreciated. I'm stuck on 2 words. 1. Sagittal T1-weighted images were followed by axial proton density and T2-weighted images. Subsequently, formal T1-weighted images were followed by postgadolinium. 2. On the nongadolinium enhanced T2-weighted images, increase signal is identified within the left sphenoid sinus. This is probably related to a transphenodial pituitary; this concession in this patient. I know these aren't the correct words but they sound ...

It has been like that for 10 minutes. I logged out and logged back in. The same job came back as a reserved job, and it is hung again, doing the same thing. I checked DEP now, but the light is green. Just wondering if anyone else is having issues. Guess I'll have to contact suppo ...

Explorer 8 on Medquist computer? They sent me a new computer because the fan went out in the old one and the new one had Explorer 8 on it. Now anything internet-based such as DocQmanage (client profiles, etc.) the text has letters that are different colors, making it very hard to read, and tech support cannot figure out how to fix it. It seems to be related to Explorer 8 because I did not have this problem with Explorer 6 and everything else such as DocQscribe, PDF files, and word files are all ...

but can anyone help me? I currently use IT Pro V and have written to the company on several occasions asking about a patch for Vista, as it seems to crash a lot since I upgraded my computer. They keep saying they no longer support IT Pro V and can't help me. I'm frankly disgusted with the company, as they insist that I need to upgrade and spend the $190 for the new version. I am a single mom and this is my only source of income and some of us just can't afford to upgrade. I haven ...

Gee, what is the effect of doing short letters, and with no ADT, for 75% of your shift for 2 days? An lph count of 88!! ASR will not speed up production for short reports, unless it is perfect. Unfortunately, perfect ASR will not make up for all the uncompensated time I spent entering the patient's name and all the patient's information, the addressee and their address, plus the 5 different physicians the physicians want copies sent to. No way I can make up the deficit in the ...
