FR (Swiss) > EN: Medecin cadre ecc. and stroke terminology

[Guest guest]

I'm translating a report from a Swiss hospital, and I wonder if anyone

can tell me the equivalents of the following positions (preferably in

British English, but AmE or Italian would do):

Chef de service (consultant?)

Chef de clinique (same as chef de service?)

Médecin adjoint (senior registrar?)

Médecin associé (junior registrar?)

Médecin assistant

Médecin cadre (salaried hospital doctor?)

PD & MER (I assume this is a doctor's qualification, but I haven't

found it anywhere).

In the same text, about a stroke victim suffering from global aphasia,

there are three phrases I'm not sure of (problems between asterisks):

1. " ... le reste des nerfs craniens étant impossible à tester *au vu

d'une collaboration sur l'aphasie globale* " .

Does this mean " because they were affected by/involved in the global

aphasia " ?

2. " Patient vigilant, avec aphasie globale, hémianopsie latérale homonyme

droite, *status post phakectomie droite*, déviation des yeux vers la

gauche... "

I assume " phakectomy " means " lentectomy " ; does " status post

phakectomie droite " mean the patient had previously had a lentectomy,

or that his condition mimicked a lentectomy of the right eye?

3. " on note l'apparition de mouvements au niveau des membres

inférieurs *à 24h d'évolution " ... de meme que l'apparition *à une

semaine d'évolution* d'un discours syllabique... "

Does " à x heures d'évolution " mean " x hours after the onset of

symptoms " ?

All help gratefully received,
