taquipneica, paribucal

Question

I'm translating a document from a medical report apparently originating in Mexico, for my son who is a lawyer. These could be type errors but I have not seen these words before.

Answer 1

Peribucal means related to or near the mouth. Never heard of the other one. Check the spelling. Maybe "taquipnea"'

Answer 2

The word "taquipnea" comes from the Greek "takhy" (quick) and pneu (breath). The adjective is "taquipneica". These words were reintroduced in the language at the end of the 19 century, and they follow the old spelling convention (with that pn), which is no longer in use. That's why it looks so strange in Spanish.

Answer 3

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Answer 4

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Answer 5

Tachypnea: Abnormally fast breathing.

I think taquipneica is the adjectival form, which is tachypneic in English.
