redness in the axilla Explanation: Literal translation is underarmred. An English speaking medical professional would probably term it as redness in the axilla, alternatively redness underneath the arm, alternatively redness in the armpit The slash in the O is missing. The S is a noun in genitive and is sometimes used in compound words such as this one: E.g. undervannsbåt (underwaterboat a.k.a. submarine). This is considered stiff and old fashioned writing in Norwegian, but patient journals are full of such archaic language. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2012-02-10 00:04:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Could this be a measurement of a rash or redness on the patient's arm?! Example sentence(s):

forearm (nerve) root Explanation: underarm = forearm; rod = root. (cf. Dansk Englesk Ordbog af Jens Axelsen, 11. udgave, Gyldendal, Copenhagen, 2007. Omfangsmål overarm/underarmsrod = Measurement of the extent of upper arm/forearm (nerve) root. Without having the full sentence and the context, it is difficult to translate reasonably. I am presuming that the text deals with elbow injuries and how to diagnose them. Hence, I have based my answer on "Clinical Examination of the Elbow by C. Dumontier, Hôpital St-Antoine, 184 rue du faubourg St-Antoine, F-75012 Paris Institut de la Main, 6 square Jouvenet, F-75016 Paris". http://www.maitrise-orthop.com/corpusmaitri/orthopaedic/mo77... |

peer agreement (net): +1Mid-upper Arm Circumference Explanation: The reference to a measurement strongly suggests this is what you are looking for. It is also used in general medicine, with reservations. http://www.umdnj.edu/idsweb/idst8000/charney_article.pdf Lots more if you google the full term or MUAC |

8 hrs confidence:
at the lowest end of the forearm Explanation: Circumference measured at the lowest end of the forearm/upper arm... That is the only thing that makes sense. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2012-02-10 11:09:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Provided it has to do with nutrition, you may very well be right, but the words "rod/root" still makes it ambiguous. It seems impossible to decide without more context. |
