Evernote Meaning

Evernote is a productivity app that you can download to all your digital devices. This is how I plan my day. The app allows anyone to keep notes, projects, ideas, and inspiration and makes them all handy by synchronizing them to all your digital devices.
To decrease in activity or intensity. To work less intensely than is required or expected: slacked off at work and started surfing the internet.
Instead, I create 'Evernotes', meaning, I create notes in Evernote. The beauty of Evernote is that the size of things I store there is limitless and I can access my data not only on all of my Macs but also on my iPhone and (yay!) iPad. Basic note-taking - no more MS Word.

surgery

(surj'e-re) [Fr. cirurgerie, ult fr Gr. cheirurgia, handwork, surgery]

1. The branch of medicine dealing with manual and operative procedures to correct deformities and defects, repair injuries, and diagnose and cure certain diseases.

3. Treatment or work performed by a surgeon. Synonym: operation

ablative surgery

aesthetic surgery

Cosmetic surgery.

ambulatory surgery

Surgery performed between the time the patient is admitted in the morning and the time the patient is discharged the same day.

Synonym: day surgery

antenatal surgery

Surgery performed on the fetus before delivery. It is performed only at certain medical centers.

See: amnioscopy; embryoscopy

antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery

See: antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery

aseptic surgery

aural surgery

Surgery of the ear.

bariatric surgery

Surgical management of morbid obesity. Commonly employed operative procedures are classified either as restrictive (because they decrease the size of the stomach) or malabsorptive (because they limit absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract), or both restrictive and malabsorptive. They include gastric banding; vertical banded gastroplasty; Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; biliopancreatic diversion or duodenal switch, and long-limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Synonym: weight-loss surgery

Patient care

This surgery is typically used only for those with a body mass index greater than 40 kg/m² or 35 kg/m² in the presence of other weight-related health problems, such as hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Complications include puncture of blood vessels or internal organs, infection, incisional hernia, wound dehiscence, or leakage from surgical sites into the peritoneum. In preparation for surgery the patient should be assessed for other major surgical risks, including heart attack, heart failure, deep vein thrombosis, atelectasis/pneumonia, or respiratory failure after the proposed operation. The patient should be made aware that an intravenous catheter, urinary catheter, and sequential compression stockings will be used to help manage postoperative complications. Incentive spirometry is used to prevent postoperative atelectasis.

Pain and nausea are managed with patient-controlled epidural or intravenous analgesia and antiemetic drugs. Equipment required for obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery includes specially sized litters, operating tables, beds, wheelchairs, blood-pressure cuffs, and gowns. The patient should begin ambulation soon after surgery to help prevent complications of immobility. Adequate staff should be available to assist with transfers and mobilization to prevent patient or staff injuries. Depending on the type of surgery employed, the patient may require vitamin and mineral supplementation after surgery (with B vitamins, calcium, iron, and fat-soluble vitamins). Psychological, nutritional, and physical therapeutic support is critical to optimal outcomes. Instruction at discharge must emphasize diet, hydration, wound care, medications, and prescribed or prohibited activities. Most treated patients have significant, sustainable postoperative weight loss, with improvement in comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. After massive weight loss some patients may require reconstructive surgery to remove excess abdominal wall fat (panniculectomy).

CAUTION!

The risk for postoperative death associated with bariatric surgery is greatest in patients with heart failure, renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, who are male or over 50 years old, or who undergo open (versus laparoscopic) surgery.

breast conservation surgery

Removal of a malignant growth from the breast and dissection of axillary lymph nodes without mastectomy. Lumpectomy is an alternative to mastectomy for patients with early stage breast cancer. Its outcomes are equivalent to those of mastectomy when used as part of a treatment plan that includes postoperative radiation therapy to the affected breast.

cardiac surgery

Surgery on the heart and/or the proximal great vessels.

cold knife surgery

Surgery with a simple metal blade or scalpel; conventional surgery.

colorectal surgery

completion surgery

Reoperation to remove any residual ovarian cancer after the first two stages of treatment. The first stage is initial debulking of the tumor; the second, chemotherapy.

conservative surgery

Surgery in which as much as possible of a part or structure is retained. It is often an equally effective alternative to radical surgery.

cosmetic surgery

Surgery performed to revise or change the texture, configuration, or relationship of contiguous structures of a feature of the body. Synonym: aesthetic surgery See: plastic surgery

day surgery

Ambulatory surgery.

Evernote Meaning Synonyms

elective surgery

Surgery that is not necessary for one's health but is performed for another reason, e.g., for cosmetic reasons.

Synonym: optional surgery

exploratory surgery

Surgery performed for diagnosis, e.g. an exploratory laparotomy. Exploratory surgeries may become surgeries in which definitive treatment is rendered when a previously undiagnosed lesion is identified and rectified.

flap surgery

Surgery in which a flap of tissue or periosteum is raised. An amputation flap is a tissue flap produced to cover the amputation stump.

gamma knife surgery

Radiosurgery that can destroy an intracranial target by directing gamma radiation at the lesion while trying to spare adjacent healthy tissue. The gamma knife consists of 201 cylindrical gamma ray (cobalt 60) beams designed to intersect at the target lesion, resulting in about 200 times the dose of any single beam aimed at the periphery. The area to be treated is carefully identified with neuroimaging before the gamma knife is used and the proper dose of gamma energy calculated. The procedure takes about 2 to 3 hr, with the patient under mild sedation, given intravenously, and local anesthesia. The gamma knife can be used to treat primary and metastatic brain tumors, trigeminal neuralgia, arteriovenous malformations, and other lesions. Complications include seizures, confusion, paralysis, nausea and vomiting, other radiation reactions, and radiation necrosis of normal brain tissue, but the incidence of side effects is no greater than with other brain irradiation or neurosurgical techniques.

Patient care

The patient's vital signs and neurological signs must be checked frequently during and after the procedure.

high-risk surgery

Any operation associated with a 5% or greater likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events. Examples include operations on peripheral arteries, the aorta, or the heart; surgeries that last more than 2 hours; and emergency surgeries, esp. when they are needed by patients with multiple illnesses or age over 75.

IE surgery

infarct exclusion surgery

image-guided surgery

The use of real-time computed tomography, magnetic resonance imagery, or ultrasound to place surgical instruments in precise anatomical locations, e.g., during biopsies or tissue resections. Images taken before the operation are compared with those obtained during surgery to improve the localization of tumors or vascular structures, the placement of prosthetic parts, or the identification of moving structures.

infarct exclusion surgery

Abbreviation: IE surgery

The surgical repair of damage to the heart muscle due to a heart attack, e.g., repair or patching of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects.

intestinal bypass surgery

The production of controlled intestinal malabsorption by surgically short-circuiting the small intestine. This surgery is used to treat massive obesity. It is done by anastomosing the proximal jejunum to the distal ileum by bypassing the small intestine between the anastomotic sites. The lengths of jejunum and ileum involved vary by surgeon. Because of long-term metabolic complications (including hepatic injury), this procedure has largely been abandoned in favor of gastric bypass procedures.

laparoscopic surgery

A form of endoscopic surgery in which a fiberoptic laparoscope is inserted into the body to inspect, resect, or otherwise surgically treat a wide and expanding variety of conditions. Small incisions (ports) are created to insert required instrumentation. In assisted laparoscopic procedures, a smaller-than-standard ancillary incision may be necessary for removal of large specimens or to perform various surgical maneuvers. Laparoscopic surgery may also be used to complement other procedures, e.g., vaginal hysterectomy. Under certain circumstances, e.g., hemorrhage or dense adhesions, laparoscopic procedure cannot be performed. Operating time is longer and equipment is more expensive in laparoscopic surgery than in laparotomy, but the convalescence of patients who have undergone laparoscopic procedures is shorter; and pain, nausea, vomiting, and obstipation are diminished. Common operations performed with a laparoscope include cholecystectomy, appendectomy, colonic surgery, hernia repairs (including hiatal hernias), and many gynecological surgeries. See: laparoscopic laser cholecystectomy

laryngeal framework surgery

Thyroplasty.

limb salvage surgery

Any operative treatment of an injury to bone or a bony tumor in which the basic integrity of the arm or leg is preserved.

low-risk surgery

Any operation associated with less than a 1% chance of adverse cardiovascular events. Examples include endoscopies, breast biopsies, skin biopsies, and procedures on the eye, e.g. cataract surgeries.

lung volume reduction surgery

Surgical removal of emphysematous lung tissue, esp. of inelastic air spaces in the upper lobes of the lungs, to enhance the ability of the rest of the lung to expand and contract. This surgery improves respiratory function for many patients with advanced chronic obstructive lung disease although the long-term benefits of its use are uncertain.

major surgery

Surgery risking a potential hazard and disruption of physiological function, e.g., entering a body cavity, excision of large tumors, amputation of a large body part, insertion of a prosthesis, open heart procedures. All surgeries are potentially dangerous and may involve a risk to life.

natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery

Abbreviation: NOTES

Surgery performed with incisions made through internal organs after an endoscope has been inserted into those organs through the mouth, the vagina, the bladder, or the anus. The surgery produces no external scars because the skin is not cut. For example, a diseased gallbladder is removed through an endoscope inserted through the urinary bladder wall and into the peritoneum or through an incision made in the muscular wall of the stomach. Synonym: natural orifice surgery

oncoplastic surgery

Surgery to remove malignant tumors from the body and then sculpt the operated tissue to an esthetically pleasing outcome.

See: prenatal diagnosis

radical surgery

Surgery to remove a large amount of damaged or neoplastic tissue and/or adjoining areas of lymphatic drainage to obtain a complete cure. This is in contrast to conservative surgery.

radioguided surgery

1. The use of radionuclides, such as isotopes of technetium, to locate lymph nodes or other tissues to excise during an operation.

2. The use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or plain radiography to plan and/or carry out an invasive procedure.

scalpel-free surgery

Surgery that relies on acoustic, laser, or radioactive energy to divide, destroy or cauterize tissue.

second-look surgery

Surgery some months after the original operation for cancer to detect possible recurrences. Second-look procedures are also performed on a more immediate basis, e.g., within hours of the initial surgery, when vascular injuries created by the initial operation or condition are suspected. Occasionally an endoscopic second look may be performed instead of an open surgical procedure.

split-brain surgery

Surgery that disconnects one hemisphere of the brain from the other by cutting the corpus callosum. It is used to treat drug-resistant seizures.

subcutaneous surgery

Surgery performed through a small opening in the skin.

subtotal surgery

thoracic surgery

Surgery involving the rib cage and structures contained within the chest. It is used to biopsy or remove masses in the hilum, lung, or mediastinum, to drain abscesses, treat empyema, repair cardiac valves or vessels, or implant devices such as cardioverter/defibrillators in the chest.

Patient care

Preoperative: Preparation involves the usual preoperative teaching, with special emphasis on breathing and coughing, incentive spirometry, incisional splinting, pain evaluation, invasive and noninvasive relief measures that will be available, and basic information about the chest drainage tube and system that will be required in most such surgeries. The health care professional should encourage the patient to voice fears and concerns, allay misapprehensions, and correct misconceptions. Postoperative care: All general patient care concerns apply. Vital signs and breath sounds should be monitored. Water-seal chest drainage should be maintained as prescribed and the volume and characteristics of drainage monitored. The health care professional should maintain sterile wound dressings; provide analgesia and comfort to ensure patient cooperation with respiratory toilet, exercises, and rest and activity; provide emotional support and encouragement; and provide instructions to be followed by the patient and family after discharge and follow-up care. As necessary, the respiratory therapist provides mechanical ventilation in the immediate postoperative period and evaluates the patient for weaning from the ventilator.

Patient discussion about notes

Q. I need to know what needs to be noted in a bipolar, which if unnoticed, will have serious consequences? One of my distant relative who is a bipolar is now an alcoholic…..it’s dangerous to handle him for the kind of problems he creates to his friends and family………..maybe he is not responsible for all these…..but I need to know what needs to be noted in a bipolar, which if unnoticed, will have serious consequences?

A. Merkel- they tend to stop medication without consulting the doc. this can be a dangerous act, could lead to a major depression. you should notice it ASAP cause stopping can even cause suicidal thoughts.

Q. I was shocked to note that vaccination in the children could cause autism too. Is that true? Very recently I have delivered a cute male baby and I could see a change in me after my delivery in the sense that I always think about him. My sister’s son who is 5 years old is diagnosed with Autism and I just can’t see the sufferings of my sister with him. She experiences difficulty in almost all dealings with him right from brushing, giving bah and making him to study….etc. Now I fear that my son should not get in to autism although I know that this is too early to think about disorder in my son. But as my sister’s son got in to this disorder, this has affected me a lot. Hope you can understand my feelings towards my baby. When I browsed through the net, I was shocked to note that vaccination in the children could cause autism too. Is that true? Can I get some idea…..

A. Hey! I appreciate your care for the new born. But to be honest, fearing at this stage will only trouble you and your baby in the sense that your emotions could catch your baby especially when you breast feed. I want you to be cheerful so as to bring up a healthy child. The signs of autism in the new born are something which should not be thought about at this stage. All you may have to think is to bring up him nicely without any disease. As regards vaccinations that could create autism in children, there is no proof that a vaccine causes Autism. It is only a belief and all the children are vaccinated and not all get autism. It is not a fair idea to suspect vaccination as vaccinations are administered in a new born child after carrying out the necessary tests.

Q. I was shocked to note that genes play a vital role in building muscles Is this possible? I am , 20 years old. I am always dreaming to build muscle like my favorite hero who maintains 8 abs. Anybody can dream but to live that dream is a difficult task. Out of curiosity, I had discussed my desire to build muscles with my friends. But I was shocked to note that genes play a vital role in building muscles. My family doesn’t have a history of muscles and this fact has put me in to a difficult situation. Is this possible…If so, how can I live my dream? If the family doesn’t have a history of muscle growth, then what happens to the generation which follows them? I need a positive feedback to my query……

A. there's a genetic potential for fitness, like there is a genetic connection and potential for inelegance. but no matter how smart are your parents- if you won't study you won't live that potential, and some one who doesn't have that genetic ability and will study- will be better. the same thing with physical fitness.

In April and May, I presented two webinars for Evernote where I showed screenshots from my personal Evernote account. The same question came up in both webinars as this tweet shows:

@staceyharmon Congrats on such a successful business! Thnx for EN webinar. Why do you start some notebooks titles with .?

— josephavellino (@josephavellino) May 22, 2015

Both audiences wanted to know why I have either a special character, or a number, in the beginning of some of my notebook and stack names. The question above is referencing the naming convention I use for my default Evernote notebook, which I have renamed to be .In Box.

It is a great question, and highlights a method/hack I often use [and advise clients on] to create an efficient workspace that supports increased productivity in Evernote. Instead of living with the default order of notebooks in my Evernote account, I use this technique to display notebooks on the left hand sidebar in a way that is meaningful to me. This makes my experience in Evernote more efficient, and makes me happier :).

Evernote Functionality

Before we get to the hack, here is what you need to understand about Evernote behavior that impacts my methodology recommendation:

Notebook list is an Evernote app desktop setting that must be turned on in order to have your list display in the left side bar. If you aren't seeing your notebook list, go to [Mac] View > Sidebar Options > Show Notebook List or [PC] View > Left Panel > Show Notebooks to turn it on.
Notebooks appear in the left hand sidebar note list alphabetically according to the name of the notebook.
In the left side bar, stacks and non-stacked notebooks are co-mingled and sorted alphabetically together. A notebook doesn't have to be in a stack, but it can be [stacks are an optional user specific feature]. In other words, if you have created stacks, those stack names will sort alphabetically in line with any notebooks you have in your account that aren't in those stacks. Then, the notebooks that are in each stack will be sorted alphabetically within that stack.

The key functionality to understand above is that your list of notebooks and stacks is sorted and displayed alphabetically, and on the left hand side bar this cannot be changed. It is simply how Evernote works. It is very logical and likely familiar to you - it is how many digital software structures work. However, when it comes to productivity, this behavior creates a challenge.

The Problem

Work isn't organized alphabetically. You want your notebooks/stacks [and your work that resides in them] organized in a way that has logic and meaning to you. My work is organized in a variety of ways: by status [active or archive], by business unit [Harmon Enterprises or Untethered with Evernote], and by client. Other common structures for organizing work include grouping by product, by vendor, by department or team member, and by phase. All are valid ways of organizing your work, but what they aren't is alphabetical.

The Solution

Good news: You can control the order your notebooks/stacks appear in your notebook list. You do this through applying a naming convention to your notebook and stack names which will force a sort order to your notebooks and stacks that is meaningful to you. By doing so, Evernote becomes a powerful organizational tool that supports how you think and get things done.

The Hack Rules and Strategy

To properly apply a naming convention to your notebooks and stacks, you need to know that within Evernote's notebook list:

Special characters and punctuation marks [i.e. . _ @ !] will sort before numbers [0 through 9]
Numbers [0 through 9] will sort after special characters/punctuation marks but before alphabetical characters

So, strategically using special characters, numbers, and punctuation marks at the beginning of your stack and notebook names will allow you to force the order of items in your notebook list and organize them in a way that is meaningful to your productivity.

And this is the key to answering the question asked by viewers of the Evernote webinars I hosted. I use special characters [in my case, the period], numbers, and strategic alphabetical naming choices to force the order of the notebooks in my notebook list. This is why there is a . in front of some of my notebooks, such as .In Box.

Stacey's Personal Evernote Top Level Naming Convention Strategy

My use of Evernote revolves around making my Evernote organization logical to my brain [and let Evernote search fill in the gaps when that fails]. My personal use of the rules above revolves around using:

A: the period punctuation mark (.) then
B: numbers to control the order of my primary notebooks and stacks on the left hand panel then
C: alphabetic characters to sort less important data that is not often referenced or part of my day-to-day system.

Regarding A: I like to use the period (.) because it is the tiniest and most subtle of the special characters. I find it helpful to see as much of the notebook name as possible on the screen and the . is so small, that it minimally alters the amount of characters that can be displayed after it [you can always enlarge the left side bar by drag/dropping it, but for the most part, I don't like to have it wide on my screen on a day to day basis]. So, I use the . to precede the name of the notebook I want at the top of my list - in my case that is my .In Box [which acts as my first step in organizing my work - a subject for another post]. Because this is the only special character I use, this notebook always appears at the top of my notebook list.

Regarding B: I have a specific order that I want the rest of my stacks and notebooks to appear in [that support my GTD deployment in Evernote]. You'll see that I group like-stacks together with the same number, and then rely on the alphabetical sort to order them from there.

Regarding C: In my business, I am often demonstrating Evernote structures as part of the workflows I help clients to design and deploy. When I build my case studies in my Evernote account, I precede the stack name with a 'z' to put them at the bottom of my notebook list [since, as we all know, z is the last letter of the alphabetical sort].

This system is a key reason Evernote so strongly supports my productivity - I organize it to! Now it is your turn.

Evernote Skills You Need to Deploy This:

Rename notebooks: I right click on the notebook and choose 'Rename notebook' or 'Rename stack'. Change the name of the notebook to lead with a special character, number, or letter that will sort it in the order you desire. You'll need to hit 'Enter' on your keyboard to save your new name.
Create stacks [optional - and also very helpful!]

Tell me how you organize your notebooks and stacks. Do you use naming conventions to force their order? Post your strategy and logic in the comments. I'd love to learn what works for you.
