TCI (medical abbreviation)

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general)
Hi there,

I'm translating a medical report and there are several acronyms and abbreviations that I can't work out, even after checking many acronyms dictionaries and specialised websites.

One of the abbreviations is "TCI", see below:



Presenting problem: chest pain

Left sided, sharp, worse with movement
nil radiation, nil sob, nil dib
nil sweaty, nil clammy
E&D, nil N&V
nil CVS RFs
uses crutch said arm, for left hip pain
nil fever, nil cough, nil calf pain
denies brest pain, nil lumps, or DC

PMH & MH: as above

OE: a, well, cr
Proposed translations (Spanish)

Silvia Vaquero (asker) Jul 21, 2016:
I've got in touch with the hospital and apparently it stands for "to come in". Thank you all for your replies and sorry again for the technical difficulties!
let me know if you need anything else. Good luck to finish...
yes I raise my CF to 5
Silvia Vaquero (asker) Jul 20, 2016:
I'm very sorry, I'm going crazy here, my messages keep being cut off. I could've sworn I included the whole thing. I've updated my message to include that line
OK, once more could you please post exactly the sentence where the TCI abbreviation appears?
Silvia Vaquero (asker) Jul 19, 2016:
I'm very sorry, I included more context but somehow my post was cut off and the complete message didn't appear. I don't think I was using < > but maybe the post was too long? Anyway, the rest of the context is this:

OE: a, well, cr<2, mmm, P72, s99, nil jaccol, 36.1
ENT nad, chest gooad ae, hs normal, abdo nad
CC tenderness L side 5/6

Costochontritis

nsaids, tci concerns
ECG nad
Final diagnosis: costhocondritis

Thanks in advance

Hi Silvia Every term that you are asking for is missing from the context provided (in pretty much every question)
Are you by any chance using "<" ">" to point out the acronym/abbreviation? if so please don't, any term contained within them becomes invisible...

@Silvia, el contexto es importante para que poder ayudarte... :-)

1.
Cessation Advice: It is never too late to quit. The respiratory tracts of smokers and
environmental tobacco smokers (ETS or second hand smokers) are most affected. About
87% of lung cancer deaths are attributed to smoking. The very early treatable stages of
lung cancer are very hard to detect due to the lack of symptoms and the extensive surface
area of the lung tissue. When later diagnosed, lung cancer is one of the most difficult to
treat. Smokeless tobacco users may be interested to know that many emergency
medications are administered sublingually for immediate absorption. Tobacco cessation
and other healthy lifestyle changes can prevent and slow the disease progression. When
the primary care provider delivers strong cessation advice and refers to the Tobacco
Control Initiative (TCI) cessation service
, this common goal may be easier to attain
utilizing an evidence-based plan of action.

Noncardiac or unexplained chest pain can be defined as recurrent angina-like or substernal chest pain thought to be unrelated to the heart after a reasonable cardiac evaluation. We examined the personality profiles of patients complaining of noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) and healthy control subjects using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and determined whether the data acquired were related to the depressive status of the patients. We assessed 70 patients (ages 18-65 years) referred to a cardiology practice with NCCP. Eighty control subjects, matched for age, gender, and education level, were included in the study. Each subject was evaluated with TCI, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The TCI assesses four dimensions of temperament, namely, novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence and persistence and three dimensions of character, being self-directedness, cooperativeness and self-transcendence.

Pain on injection of propofol is unpleasant. We hypothesized that propofol infusion
pain might be prevented by infusing remifentanil before starting the propofol infusion in a
clinical setting where target-controlled infusions (TCI) of both drugs were used. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed to determine the effect-site
concentration (Ce) of remifentanil to prevent the pain without producing complications.

5. - most likely, IMHO
Background:
Serum troponin T (TnT) is a common marker of myocardial injury. However, its implication in the absence of clinical evidence of cardiac reason is not well established.

Aims:
The aim of this study was to identify the implications of positive TnT in traumatic chest injury (TCI) patients regardless of the cardiac involvement.
