Spanish term

contenido glerobiliar

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Hello All!
This is from an endoscopy report. The full text reads "Lago gástrico escaso y de contenido glerobiliar."
I'm having a bear of a time finding any explanation of "glerobiliar."
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Chema Nieto Castañón Aug 17, 2020:
Just to add to the discussion and in spite of my late answer, glero- usually means intenso, duro, fuerte.
And I also thought of mucobiliar at first glance ("de contenido mucobiliar"), but "mucus" is really redundant here;
Bile is a liquid composed of mucous, bile pigments, bile salts, cholesterol and mineral salts, intended to aid digestion.

The original really conveys just that there is bile content in the stomach (a [small] bile lake in the stomach). "Sludge" might also work if it were used in this context -but I haven't found any such reference.

Thank you to all for your help with this one. You're a great group!

Fascinating "Glairy" looks like it could be Scots to me, as we have quite a few "gl-" wrds, but I can't find any etymological justification. However, while searching, I found that "glamping" already existed before the recently coined portmanteau (glam + camping), which I found interesting.

@Tom Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Glairy There is an apparently pretty obscure English word "glair," and its adjectival form "glairy," related to albumen, the white of eggs. See this entry for discussion of some applications in medicine, and other areas:

Hi Toni -- I suppose it is possible, but there are a number of hits that I found (and yes, only from Mexico), which makes me think it's not a typo.
Toni Castano Aug 14, 2020:
@Asker Have you considered the possiblity of a typo in your source? I am no medical expert at all but I thought of "serobiliar" as an option instead of "glerobiliar", a term I had never heard before (and seems to be related to Mexican sites only).

bile lake

glero
Es un sufijo que significa duro, fuerte. Vocinglero quiere decir que habla muy fuerte, muy duro. Roca, piedra.
Diccionario español de Danilo Noreña
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

Las escasas referencias a glerobiliar aparecen con relativa frecuencia en asociación a vómitos (de contenido glerobiliar). De ahí, que antes que a "piedras/cálculos" piense que glero- hace referencia a "fuerte", "intenso"; de contenido "claramente" biliar tal vez, por darle un sentido razonable, o más literalmente, contenido "fuertemente/intensamente" biliar.

As for translation, I feel that a reference to a [small/scarce] bile lake in the stomach should work in this particular context. Literally, the original says there is a [scarce] "gastric mucous lake with intense/clearly bile content".

1. Aspecto de la materia vomitada.
Precisando si son alimenticios (generalmente leche cortada en los vómitos verdaderos y entera en las regurgitaciones), mucosos (también llamados glerosos), biliosos (importante en la diferenciación entre malformaciones supra e infravaterianas), fecaloideos (verdosos y malolientes, de importancia en el diagnóstico de las obstnicciones digestivas bajas), hematinicos (de sangre roja más o menos abundante, negra o en posos de café).

Page 113
Vómitos blancos o glerosos. En las horas que siguen al nacimiento es muy frecuente que el niño elimine flemas, casi siempre por haber aspirado líquido amniótico durante el parto. La valoración de estos vómitos debe hacerse en función de la intensidad. Si son intensos, y especialmente si se acompañan de crisis de sofocación habrá que descartar una atresia de esófago. En todo caso la conducta será la misma: sondaje naso-gástrico con lavado en caso de deglución de líquido arnniótico y comprobación de la obstrucción en caso de atresia.

It would appear that glerobliar means with mucus and bile.
