The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology is the society's official scientific journal. Readers know that each issue is filled with high caliber reporting that delivers the most timely medical, minimally-invasive, radiological, pathological and socioeconomic news related to the specialty.
I live in the United States, and I was wondering if medical personnel in other countries use the same shorthand symbols that we do. As examples: lower case c with a line over it means with; lower case s with a line over it means without, a triangle (chevron symbol) means change, etc.
In contrast, the reversed triangle is female and lunar, representing mother earth, water, rain and grace. In Christianity and Judaism, a triangle is often used as a symbol for God and the holy trinity, and in magic it was seen as representing the element fire (with a downward meaning water).
