Title: Medical Term?
Post by: LindaFromOz on Wednesday 28 April 04 11:35 BST (UK)

Hi Everyone

I received a death certificate with Arteris Sclerosis as a cause of death, does anyone know what this is?

Kind regards
Linda

Arteriosclerosis = Hardening or thickening of the walls of the arteries.

Hi

My Oracle says:

Enteric Fever - This was the name used for Typhoid Fever but is now applied to the enteric group, viz. Typhoid, Para-Typhoid A and Par-Typhoid B.

Here's a little expansion on the definitions -

Arteriosclerosis : A chronic disease in which thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity of the arterial walls result in impaired blood circulation. It develops with aging, and in hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other conditions.

Enteric Fever : Typhoid Fever.
Enteric: of or relating to or inside the intestines; "intestinal disease"

I found at www.antiquusmorbus.com

What about "Died by the visitation of God"  1842 inquest verdict

Is that in the dictionary?  ;D

Hi,

Visitation of God seems to be used to emphasize another cause of death.

i.e. heart failure, visitation of God - meaning that the person died of natural causes, suddenly, by a heart attack.

Used by itself, it would probably mean "died suddenly". I would assume by a heart attack.

This is just speculation, I haven't found a definition for it in any source.

Actually he died from an effusion of blood to the left lateral ventricle of the brain.  A stroke.

I just thought it funny that the coroner said it was a visitation from God  :D
