PCB: +o+, IVY/RHY: (-),

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) CUSTOMS REPORT

This is in a history and physical report and is the examination of the neck.
Thanks

Karla Mabarak (asker) Feb 2, 2015: This is a physical exam only. Sorry about the multiple questions--I''m posting them separately now
Dr. Jason Faulkner Feb 2, 2015: This is a physical examination and not an ultrasound, correct?
Joseph Tein Feb 2, 2015: Three separate questions You have 3 separate acronyms here ... they should be asked as separate questions. You'll find IVY and RHY in Cosnautas: see www.cosnautas.com (there's no cost to register). We'll have to wait for one of our colleagues to tell us what PCB means in this context.
Dr. Jason Faulkner Feb 2, 2015: You should probably break this one up into two, questions. IVY/RHY is JVD (jugular venous distention) and HJR (hepatojugular reflux). I'm not sure what PCB could be in this context. The only thing I can think of is the short head of the biceps (porcion corta del biceps), but that's in the shoulder, not the neck and "+o+" wouldn't make sense in that context.
