Thanks, Taña - you also offered CHE as an alternative and so answered my question more than adequately. Thanks once again, Simon! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
your logic makes no sense! Normally, an acronym is used in conjunction with the full term (the first instance) and so there should be no confusion. In fact, here are some other uses for CHD http://www.acronymgeek.com/CHD
I frankly have not taken anything the wrong way and if you read my answer fully, you would realize that I gave both choices and I have the right to respond in my own defense. I find the discussion non-sensensical. I reiterate, you have a choice, i.e. CHE, but it does not make one more right than the other. Punto final! I did not invent the terms.
Don't take my remark the wrong way, it is just that a remark, an opinion.
Regarding the links I could only discern the last one, and follow it. www.myhandeczema.co.uk/eczema-glossary.php
Regarding the CHE and CHD, again I just mentioned and it is my opinion that if you have CHE and since CHD is so widely used as Coronary Heart Disease, why not use CHE for Chronic hand eczema?
I don't place the links on the net and both CHE and CHD exist and frankly, I don't understand your remark, as I posted some 5 different links with both options. Whether you disagree with one, and that is your choice, but the fact remains, both exist (I did not make them up).
The creation of acronyms
is accepted in some domains. And it is true that when a set of words, has a repetitive use throughout a document. We can place an acronym between brackets after the first use. I have to respectfully disagree that you can use CHD for this when you have CHE. Also, in your link I can only find CHE.
It is assumed that the acronym, whichever is chosen, whether it be CHD or CHE, that certainly the acronym would be used in conjunction with the full term (at least in the first instance) and thereafter, the acronym would suffice. There should be no ambiguity as it would be evident that you are speaking of Chronic Hand Eczema or Dermatitis. Saludos.
What’s the difference between eczema and atopic dermatitis?
Eczema is a general term encompassing various inflamed skin conditions. One of the most common forms of eczema is atopic dermatitis (or "atopic eczema"). Approximately 10 percent to 20 percent of the world population is affected by this chronic, relapsing, and very itchy rash at some point during childhood. Fortunately, many children with eczema find that the disease clears and often disappears with age.
