IMHO, "Abblassung" is not a typo. Please see Gudrun's answer.
Barbara Greenwood (asker) Apr 27, 2010:
The document definitely says "Abblassung" but maybe it's a typo? There is unfortunately no other context for it. CCT is Cranial Computed Tomography (CCT) scan.
David Hollywood Apr 27, 2010:
and are you sure it says "Abblassung"?
casper (X) Apr 27, 2010:
@ Barbara Greenwood What is the expanded form of the abbreviation 'CCT' ?
Barbara Greenwood (asker) Apr 27, 2010:
There is not a lot unfortunately. It is from a very brief medical results report, but the whole sentence is "Angedeutet initiale Abblassung einiger Blutungsanteile" and this is under "Befund". This is a report on a reassessment of a patient who fell and had to have a CCT done. Does that help? Thank you!
David Hollywood Apr 27, 2010:
could you please provide wider context? thanks :)

partial resolution of the hematoma

partial resolution is the term to use in connection with partial improvement in the follow-up CT image... one would hardly be able to find a specialist CT report with the word 'to faint' in it...

German term (edited): Ablassung einiger Blutungsanteile

drainage of hemorrhage in some areas

It's possibly a typo for 'Ablassung', I think.


Angedeutet initiale Abblassung einiger Blutungsanteile: indicates/suggests initial drainage of hemorrhage in some areas

or


indicates/suggests some areas where hemorrhage was initially drained.


Low CL 'coz, as the asker has clarified, "there is unfortunately no other context for it."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Marga Shaw : Please look at the question, it is "AbBlassung" = "getting fainter or paler" and not "Ablassung" = "drainage".

(i) I've opted for a low CL (ii) I've stated in my explanation: "It's possibly a typo for 'Ablassung', I think." (iii) The asker states: "...maybe it's a typo?"

the bruising has started to faint

Blaue Flecken sind Einblutungen in das Gewebe. Das rote Blut erscheint blau, da die rote Farbe durch die Sauerstoffbindung des Hämoglobins mit der Sauerstoffabgabe in Blau umschlägt.

Wie lange dauert es bis blaue Flecken verschwinden?

Die Geschwindigkeit des Hämatomabbaus ist stark abhängig von der Durchblutung und der größe des Hämatoms. Oberflächliche, kleine Blutergüsse im Gesicht können bereits nach vier Tagen abgebaut sein. Größere blaue Flecken benötigen bis zu drei Wochen bei optimaler Therapie.

Oops, I've made atypo, this should of course read

the bruising has started to fade.

Bruises can happen for many reasons, but most are the result of bumping and banging into things — or having things bump and bang into you. Fortunately, as anyone who's ever sported a shiner knows, the mark isn't permanent.

How Long Do Bruises Last?

You know how a bruise changes color over time? That's your body fixing the bruise by breaking down and reabsorbing the blood, which causes the bruise to go through many colors of the rainbow before it eventually disappears. You can pretty much guess the age of a bruise just by looking at its color:

* When you first get a bruise, it's kind of reddish as the blood appears under the skin.
* Within 1 or 2 days, the hemoglobin (an iron-containing substance that carries oxygen) in the blood changes and your bruise turns bluish-purple or even blackish.
* After 5 to 10 days, the bruise turns greenish or yellowish.
* Then, after 10 or 14 days, it turns yellowish-brown or light brown.

Finally, after about 2 weeks, your bruise fades away.

Note from asker:
Thank you for your help and the link! The other phrasing was just a little bit appropriate for the document I was working on.
Peer comment(s):

agree Marga Shaw : Yes, you could also say "the haemorrhage becomes fainter". http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nLID4yQ...
