Case Study: Define the medical terms and abbreviations in bold print. Maverick, a 12 year old K-9, comes in to your clinic for a yearly exam. His owners have just moved from Texas to your state. As the veterinary technician, you are the first into the exam room to perform the TPR(W) and to speak with the owner about their visit today. Maverick appears BAR and his TPR is normal. His DOB is May 5, 2000. The owner, Mrs. Nethery, mentions that Maverick was seen by a different veterinarian a few months ago because he was limping. After obtaining a PPH, the owner gives you the copies of Maverick’s records and radiographs from the previous clinic. According to Maverick’s records, he had previously been diagnosed with cardiopathy, arthritis, and hepatitis. The veterinarian, Dr. Rojas, enters the exam room to perform the P/E. He immediately notices that Maverick has dermatitis on his abdomen. Dr. Rojas decided to perform a cytology on the affected area of skin. The skin scape showed NSF. While speaking to Mrs. Nethery, the doctor feels a mass in the hypogastric region. After discussing the options, Mrs. Nethery agrees to let Dr. Rojas obtain a gastric biopsy the following day. The following day, Maverick checks in for surgery and has a pre-surgical hematology panel done. His erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes are WNL. Hepatic enzymes are slightly elevated, but Dr. Rojas isn’t too concerned about it. An electrocardiogram is also done since Maverick had been previously diagnosed with a cardiopathy. The results were unremarkable. He’s taken to the OR where an incision is made into the abdomen and the mass is excised. Dr. Rojas asks you to send the mass to a reference lab for a biopsy. Maverick was sent to the ICU for recovery after surgery because of his age. The recovery went well and Maverick was sent home. You tell Mrs. Nethery that the biopsy results will be back in 3-5 working days. After a week has passed, Mrs. Nethery has returned with Maverick for a post-surgical exam. Maverick’s incision is healing nicely. Dr. Rojas explains that the mass was a sarcoma. His prognosis is guarded. Exercises: 1-A: Match the combining forms with their meaning. 1. _____ Heart A.
