add transvaginal ultrasound - TVU to the abbreviation list. We have TVS (transvaginal sonography) on the list. Perhaps clarify that an ultrasound is a procedure whereas sonography refers to the use of ultrasound tools for diagnostic purpose. A sonogram is the picture it produces.

flashcard 6 - contraception definition - intentional prevention of conception (pregnancy). Add - also called birth control (BC)

flashcard 22 - toxic shock syndrome - should be toxic shock syndrome (TSS) - missing abbreviation

something to consider - we have flashcards for the definitions of some of the abbreviations but missing others. Since abbreviations are listed below don't we want to also define them in the flashcards rather than have students look up the definitions or will the missing abbreviations and their definitions be placed in the glossary at the end of the chapter? We should be consistent throughout the text as to how we will do this. Missing flashcards on the following if we consider doing this:

cervix (Cx)

D&C (dilation & currettage)

HPV (human papillomavirus)

IUD (intrauterine device)

LAVH (laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy)

this link should take the reader to 8.2 not 7.2

should this be bolded; again another abbreviation - should this be added to the list of abbreviations for consistency?

do we want to add this term to flashcards set 2- not built from word parts. myo = muscle; lysis = loosening, dissolution, separating

create a flashcard for this term - in set 1 - words built from word parts

if we create a flashcard for cystocele then we should create one for rectocele - a protrusion or prolapse or hernia of the rectum

this term is in the urinary system chapter - built from word parts (flashcard 14 - set 1). Defined as protrusion of the bladder. Do we want to have a flashcard for cystocele again? Clarify that protrusion, prolapse, hernia are all terms used to define cele; cyst = bladder.

incorrect pronunciation for FC 20 of 63

hematuria

(hē-mă-TOOR-ē-ă)

Comment Only - would be great if time allowed to add the word analysis to each flashcards.

Example:

vesic/o/tomy

WR CV Suffix

Should we add

C&S (Urine culture and sensitivity) GFR (Glomerular filtration rate) IVP (Intravenous pyelogram) since these abbreviations are in 5.7 "Medical Specialists, Diagnostic Testing, and Procedures Related to the Urinary System" section.

Should we add: PKD (Polycystic kidney disease) in section 5.6

under suffix section:

-oma ( change spelling to tumor)

-oma (tumor, swelling)

correct spelling to: tumor

change collected to connected

should this be a term in the flashcards, and bolded here?

should this term be defined? Should we add to the abbreviation list (IVP)?

An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a special X-ray exam of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. Read more information about these diagnostic tests in the "Medical Specialists, Diagnostic Testing, and Procedures Related to the Urinary System" section.

suggest using a header here

Chronic kidney failure (CKF) - then begin the paragraph

although the necessary information is in the footnote wouldn't it be easier for the student to read the list here rather than scroll down to the bottom of the page to find and read this information

They include the following

Acute tubular necrosis (damage to the tubules)

Autoimmune kidney disease

Decreased blood flow to the kidneys due to very low blood pressure, which can result from dehydration, hemorrhage, serious illness or injury, or surgery

Disorders that cause clotting within the kidney's blood vessels

Infections that directly injure the kidney, such as acute pyelonephritis

Pregnancy complications, including placental abruption or placenta previa

Urinary tract blockage

Illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin

Medicines including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), certain antibiotics and blood pressure medicines, intravenous contrast (dye), HIV medications, and some types of cancer

Acute kidney failure is diagnosed through blood and urine tests that measure creatinine, urea nitrogen, and protein levels in the blood and urine. Read more information about these diagnostic tests in the "Medical Specialists, Diagnostic Testing, and Procedures Related to the Urinary System" section. Acute kidney failure is typically treated with dialysis and medications. Read more information about dialysis in the "Medical Specialists, Diagnostic Testing, and Procedures Related to the Urinary System" section.

proof this sentence....should it say, urea is filtered out less efficiently, and a buildup of urea in the blood can occur

Suggest adding definition here

change to:

Do we want all abbreviations that are in the chapter listed here? Perhaps you want to only include common abbreviations. If we want all of them we are missing:

FNA (fine-needle aspiration)

FVC (forced vital capacity)

HAP (hospital-acquired pneumonia)

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)

PE - (pulmonary emboli)

PET scan (positron emission tomography)

change S-rays to X-rays.

should this word be bolded followed by its phonetic pronunciation and definition in parentheses?

atelectasis (at-ĕl-EK-tă-sĭs) (incomplete expansion)

change the S to X

should be chest X-ray

change to "within a week to 10 days"

add (PFM) after meter.

add (PFTs) after tests.

insert and "can be" life-threatening

carina - should this term be bolded - this term is tested in section 4.8

which is low levels of oxygen in the tissues.

no edits needed. Greatly improved from the 1st edition.

2, perhaps we could also include analyze the term:

pulmon/o/logist

question 4 on stratum basale reinforces flashcard 59 information. Perhaps should be mentioned in the chapter if it is a review quiz question.

difficult (can't) drag and drop terms in the physical exam and plan sections.

-oma (tumour, swelling) change spelling to tumor

-orrhea (flow, excessive discharge) should be rrhea (flow, discharge)

also check alphabetical order of suffixes ad before al logist before logy

check the following 2 terms: should be:

onych/o/phagia WR CV S

xer/o/derm/a WR CV WR S

sclera/o (hardening) should be: scler/o (hardening)

do we want to put the abbreviation list in alphabetical order?

Do we need to show how to pronounce this word?

Change to: derm = skin; al= pertaining to

change to: a specialist who studies and treats diseases and disorders of the skin. (this is consistent with the definition of logist)

use the word root Dermat rather than Derm

delete excessive from the definition. Change to: rrhea - flow, discharge rrhage means excessive flow

change to - pertaining to

change to scler/o (also incorrect in the companion)

VOWEL (CALLED COMBINING FORM)

spelling error - should be tumor

1. Terms derived from the first letters of a phrase and are spoken as if they are a word on their own describes an: a. eponym b. acronym c. antonym d. synonym

2. The term, Lou Gehrig's disease, is an example of a(an): a. eponym b. acronym c. modern language d. words built from word parts

3. Word parts that do not fit within the language rules are referred to as: a. literals b. terms built from word parts c. terms not built from word parts d. rebels

4. When defining a medical term such as translating it into English, one begins the definition with the: a. prefix b. combining form c. suffix d. word root

5. ____ indicate where to place the emphasis when pronouncing a word. a. small case letters b. short vowel sounds c. long vowel sounds d. capital letters

6. In the term hepat/o/megaly, “hepat/o” is a: a. prefix b. word root c. combining form d. suffix

7. The prefix “brady” means: a. slow b. irregular c. fast d. regular

8. The suffix “oma” means: a. nodule b. development c. inflammation d. tumor

suggest we bold anatomy and physiology since there is a lot of emphasis on these 2 areas in the textbook. Also place these 2 terms in the glossary. (both were highlighted in the previous edition)

hallux or big toe is the medial toe.

missing the pronunciation for: cranial cavity

peritoneum

missing 2.5 as a section or renumber sections accordingly

do we want to change this to colonoscopy? (in companion; coloscopy is not in the companion); or is this because you have col/o in 1.4.

good list; add

ia: condition of, diseased state, abnormal state

pexy:- surgical fixation, suspension

my references have this as logist, not ologist. I believe the o is the common combing vowel for this suffix. Our companion has it as logist as well.

my references have this as logy, not ology

my references have this as tomy

my references have this as stomy

good to have this here rather than at the end of the chapter as in Edition 1.

this is an improved definition - 1st edition states each medical term contains at least one word root. Occasionally a term does not have a word root (example: dysplasia). Do we want to state, The majority of terms include a word root?

perhaps we want to use a different word here - dysplasia is a word with a prefix and a suffix and no word root. This might be confusing for a student trying to figure out the meaning of the word and wondering why this word has no word root or are we trying to show that some words don't have word roots? I realize dysplasia was used in edition 1. Perhaps arthritis would be a better choice or just using cytogenic as the only example.

bold gynec/o

my references have this as gynec/o

do we want to bold pneumon and define it as disease state of the lung?

although pneum has several combining form variations this may be confusing. Perhaps since word roots/combining forms are being introduced just using pneumon/o for lung would be less confusing. The respiratory chapter will introduce the students to the various forms. I'd also suggest the singular term of lung rather than lungs.

this is a great list. I suggest the following to include all body systems:

andr/o: male

orch/o: testis, testicle

carcin/o: cancer

opt/o: vision

add nulli-: none

uni-: one
