Help to decipher medical terms ~ 1914

[Rachel]

These are from Dora's Post Mortem
There are a few words which remain 'difficult' despite googling

This is what I have so far:-
(1) Shewed some fractal lobulation, stripped easily. The Cortex was not diminished
nor the pipamids distorted. Early subacute p..................s ............s was present.
Stellate Veins well marked

(2) No T.B. or Dysentery - Ovaries sent to Claybury Laboratory for examination
P........ 2 Report General appearance of a fibertic condition

[Merry]

Early subacute p..................s ............s was present

Early subacute p..................s ............ nephritis was present

[kiterunner]

It actually says "foetal lobulation" - if you want to know more about that, google foetal lobulation of kidney. Pyramids, not pipamids (again, google for kidney pyramids if you want to know about those)

The other word is parenchymatous (soft spongy tissue)

And it looks like Prelimy report, short for Preliminary.

[kiterunner]

Oh, sorry, and it looks like "fibrotic", not "fibertic". Indicative of fibrosis.

[Rachel]

Oh that's great :):):)
Doh .... of course it's Nephritis !
Thank you both but I'm still unsure about the pyramids
I did google yesterday and pipamids are something or other (forgotten)


yes .... pyramids

[Rachel]

And one more please

'General wasting of organs generally & of the musculature'


I'm querying the word 'generally' and if that's correct then would 'General wasting' be a medical term ?

:doops lol

[Rachel]

What about the 'generally' ????

[Merry]

I have a couple of death certs where the problem has had the word general(ly) in it.....general wasting......general dibility.....erm....can't think of the others?

It seemed odd that he'd repeat it (as in 'generally') so I wondered if I'd mis-deciphered :confused: but if 'general wasting' is a legitimate medical term then that would explain it


my brain hurts again

[vallee]

I think general wasting means what would be expected at her age ??

[Rachel]

Mmmmm
Really I'm querying the grammar I s'pose
