	List of eponymous diseases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An eponymous disease is one that has been named after the person who first described the condition.
		Being awarded an eponym is regarded as an honour: "eponymity, not anonymity, is the standard" (Merton R K, 1973).

		Most often, their namesakes discovered or described the disease, while occasionally the disease is named after the first patient described (Christmas disease) or the place where it was first identified (Bornholm disease).
		The proliferation of eponyms in medicine is partly due to the fact that until recently the exact cause of many diseases was a mystery.
		Many sources now agree that an apostrophe should be used if the disease is named after the patient, and no apostrophe if the disease is named after the physician (for example, Down syndrome).

	Category:Eponyms - Ganfyd
		There's a little dictionary of eponyms available, with the jokey name of "Who was Coudé" - the joke being that the coudé catheter is a catheter with an elbow in it - and coude is the French for elbow, so the catheter is not named after somebody called Coudé.
		Peter English remembers a professor of orthopaedics who loved to ask students about eponymous diseases or structures and the people they were named after.
		In a medical exam, if you're asked about the person an eponymous condition is named after, you can usually relax - the examiners have decided that you've clearly passed/failed/achieve a certain grade, and there's little chance that you can change that now (as long as you don't suggest doing something that would kill the patient).

		An eponym is a person, whether real or fictitious, whose name has (or is thought to have) given rise to the name of a particular place, tribe, discovery or other item.
		In ancient Greece, the eponym archon was the highest magistrate in Athens.

		Gaull (1984) suggests that since humans never develop a high level of cysteinsulfinic acid decarboxylase, an enzyme necessary for the formation of taurine from the amino acid cysteine, people are probably all somewhat dependent upon dietary taurine.
		Under certain conditions of high stress or in disease states the need for taurine probably increases.
		Studies also showed that dietary taurine supplementation ameliorates experimental renal disease including models of refractory nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy.

		I have noticed that pedal pulses, particularly the dorsalis pedis pulse, are often weak or absent in older adults, often because of peripheral arterial disease.
		Whether this new sign for an old disease proves to be a valid, easily performed, clinical predictor of the presence and/or severity of aortic regurgitation in various populations of older adults remains to be proven.
		Although Osler said: "The whole art of medicine is in observation," the Sherman sign needs to be studied to determine its sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and future utility at the bedside.

		The first described urinary metabolites were identified by Simon et al.30 as α-tocopheronic acid and its lactone in 1956.
		The eponymous "Simon" metabolites had an open chroman structure, consistent with α-tocopherol that had reacted as an antioxidant.
		For example, evidence from limited studies have reported that only a small fraction-as low as 5% of administered α-tocopherol-is recovered as α-CEHC in the urine.31,33 Therefore, methods are needed that can account for the full complement of biologic metabolites.
