peer agreement (net): +1sustained Explanation: Even if the other suggestions are suitable for "protrahiert", I would use sustained in this very context. See one of numerous examples: http://ats.ctsnetjournals.org/cgi/reprint/75/3/1028 (find: sustained heart failure) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day14 hrs (2010-08-12 08:52:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @lirka, I can only give you another German word for that: *anhaltend*, something like --> persistierend / persisting This has also - between the lines - the meaning of: "not responsive to therapy". I know the word sustained from this use: sustained arrhythmias (vs. non-sustained arrhythmias) --> http://ajrccm.atsjournals.org/cgi/content/full/178/1/20 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day14 hrs (2010-08-12 08:53:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry: *persistent* (not persisting) is the correct word. |
