An eponym is a word derived from the name of a person, whether real or fictional. A medical eponym is thus any word related to medicine, whose name is derived from a person. The Website Whonamedit is a biographical dictionary of medical eponyms. No information found here must under any circumstances be used for medical purposes, diagnostically, therapeutically or otherwise. It is only a survey of all medical phenomena named for a person, with a biography of that person.
The Einstein Book Club will meet Wednesday, November 12, 9:00am, in the Library Conference Room, Forchheimer 119N, to discuss Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys, and the Battle for America's Soul, by Karen Abbott.
All members of the Einstein community are welcome.
If you have any questions about the club, please contact the Reference Department at askref@einstein.yu.edu or 718.430.3104.

Instant Anatomy
Created by Professor Robert Whitaker, Instant Anatomy was designed to teach medical students about anatomy. You will find a range of materials, including diagrams, illustrations, quizzes, tips, mnemonics, and so on. On the homepage, visitors will find a What's New area, which includes podcasts that deal with subjects such as the small muscles of the hand and the anatomy of the posterior forearm. Other sections on the homepage include Head & Neck, Thorax, Abdomen, Arm, and Leg. Each of these sections includes dozens of illustrations, along with some useful Brain Training Games. These games are designed to increase comprehension of the materials covered in each area. Moving on, the Lectures area includes talks such as "Parasympathetic Supply of the Head," "Cortical Control of Cranial Nerves," and several others. The site is rounded out by a collection of iPhone and iPad apps, along with a set of detailed flash cards.
Medical Mneumonics: Students of anatomy and medicine often employ mnemonics to remember complex pathways, algorithms, and symptom groups. This site provides a database of medical mnemonics gathered from a group of contributors (many of them doctors). Search, or browse by topic such as anesthesiology, cardiology, pathology, immunology, and urology. Also includes a version of the database for portable devices and links to related sites
