Dutch term

in jugulum

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
In a document drawing up practical guidelines for the treatment of deep sternal wound infections using VAC Therapy


Het contact met het gehele craniale wondoppervlak in jugulum vereist speciale aandacht.
Dit deel van de wond is veelal ondermijnd en hierdoor is er een kans op onvoldoende drainage van (purulent) exsudaat.

Am I correct in thinking that this refers to the jugular/suprasternal notch? In which case, would this work: "Contact with the entire cranial wound surface at the suprasternal notch requires special attention"?

Thanks again.
Proposed translations (English)
4 in the jugular area
4 at the suprasternal notch
4 in the fossa jugularis sterni (in the suprasternal notch)

Barend van Zadelhoff Apr 24, 2013:
Okay, okay, but strictly speaking 'in jugulum', in Dutch, should actually be 'in jugulo' - I know this term - and 'in jugulo' is really 'at the suprasternal notch'

So this would be the correct answer.

This means I answered your question.
LAB2004 (asker) Apr 24, 2013:
Thanks everyone for chipping in. I really appreciate it. @ Lianne - the context is the treatment of deep sternal wounds infections, specifically by using negative pressure therapy (Vacuum-assisted closure, or VAC therapy). I was going to go for my original inclination, and yours, Barend, but, looking at the wider context of my document, Lianne's suggestion seemed to work. Wish I could split the points, but will include both terms in the glossary.
Barend van Zadelhoff Apr 23, 2013:
er staat ´in jugulum´ dat is normaliter ´in jugulo´en dat is wat in deze context is bedoeld en wat sowieso voor de hand ligt
Lianne van de Ven Apr 23, 2013:
What is the wider context of these wounds? CABG, as in: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2334/7/112
My thought is: they use in jugulum, why not keep the root? Suprasternal notch (incisura jugularis sterni) probably is fine too.
Barend van Zadelhoff Apr 23, 2013:
yes

normally 'in jugulo'

boven het borstbeen = in jugulo

disagree Barend van Zadelhoff : in denk het niet, veel te ruim "in jugulo" || If you were right I would let you know, but, sorry, `in jugulo`is nowhere to be found in your reference and `in jugulo´ is what I tried to point out = 'at the suprasternal notch'

iugullum = dim. iugum, the collar-bone, hollow part of the neck: iugula concava habere.
agree Vert-ical Tr (X) : I would tend to agree with you, Lianne. Coehlo: 'jugulum': (L) kuil boven het borstbeen. Dorland's: 'jugulum' springs to 'jugular' [ L. jugularis, from jugulum neck ]: 1. cervical (def. 1, pertaining to the neck.) 2. pertaining to a jugular vein. 3. a jug

at the suprasternal notch

also because of the specific context

normally 'in jugulo'

Intrekkingen [retractions] kunnen zich voordoen in jugulo (onder in de hals, voor de plaats waar het sternum begint), intercostaal (tussen de ribben), subcostaal ...

http://books.google.nl/books?id=-LjY_C8Fl3kC&pg=PA424&lpg=PA...

If a patient has difficulty breathing, sometimes a symptom known as a * suprasternal notch retraction * can be observed. In these patients, the struggle to breathe can cause the notch to appear to retract into the chest. This is usually a cause of problems with pleural pressure, the pressure in the space which surrounds the lungs.

Try Google: "NTVG" and "in jugulo"
This will make it clear

One example:

Een toegenomen voor-achterwaartse diameter van de thorax is een belangrijke aanwijzing voor de aanwezigheid van obstructie van de lagere luchtwegen. Thoraxmisvormingen kunnen ontstaan door regelmatig optredende dyspnoe op jonge leeftijd. Deze misvormingen worden zichtbaar als Harrison-groeven en pectus carinatum. De thorax kan soms zelfs asymmetrisch uitgroeien. Vooral bij exacerbaties wordt dyspnoe duidelijk zichtbaar; er is dan sprake van een toegenomen ademhalingsfrequentie en van gebruik van hulpademhalingsspieren in de vorm van neusvleugelademhaling en intrekkingen * in jugulo * en subcostaal

but "jugular notch" is equally ok

Definition of SUPRASTERNAL NOTCH. : the depression in the top of the sternum between its articulations with the two clavicles—called also jugular notch
Peer comment(s):
neutral Barend van Zadelhoff : exactly what I posted, why not agree then with my answer? See also my reference (wisegeek): also sometimes known as the jugular notch or as the fossa jugularis sternalis among the Latin-inclined // 'suprasternal notch' is most commonly used, that's why

because I missed the Latin term in your answer. We are not expected to read all the links submitted by our peers.
