disagree  Hilde Granlund: "stuvningsfysikalia" is something you hear on auscultation of the lungs...

  -> Stuvningsfysikalia are lack of sounds in the veins, i.e. congestion, and in this case - this is in the legs. Congestion in the legs is claudication.
disagree  Scott Spellerberg (X): Where do you get the "no signs of" in the single word "stuvningsfysikalia"? I agree with "claudication", but that's all.

  -> verbatim translation "physical claudication" - "ingen" means "no" - therefore the translation into proper terminology in this type of text is "no sign of claudication" - Verbatim translation is not always correct use of target language.of

And now I am extremely curious as to what sounds you can hear in the veins - congested or not , or how you determine that they are indeed congested from listening? This is something I have never heard in my 25 years of medical practice.

disagree  Suzanne Blangsted (X): You are right if this was about the lungs. This is examination of the legs. Congestion in the legs is claudication.
