It is derived from the word “eponumos” [ἐπώνυμος] and means “named (-onumos) after (epi-)”. It is the exact opposite of “anonu- mos” [ἀνώνυμος], meaning “named after no one or nothing (anonymous)” (Table 1). The word eponym can refer to the namegiver itself or the derived term formed from the name of the name- giver. For instance, the person Achilles is the name of a Greek legend. His name is attached to the calcanear tendon, therefore Achilles himself is an eponym. However, the derivative term Achilles tendon can be considered an eponym or an eponymous term. In this thesis we tried to refer to the derived word as an “eponymous term” and to the namegiver as an “eponym”. Table 1: Definition of the word “eponym”29 Eponym (noun) ep·o·nym (ep’ə·ˌnim) 1: a personage assumed as the founder and namegiver of a race, state or city; also, the name of that personage. 2: A name or phrase formed from the name of a person to designate a people, period, scientific theory, disease, etc. Eponyms are almost as old as language. The first known eponymous terms are from 2000 BC, when the Assyrians named their calendar years after their high officials.1 Although the Assyrian naming of years is no longer in use, our modern calendar also has eponymous terms. The months March (Mars, god of war) and August (emperor August 63 B.C.-14 A.D.) are eponymous terms from ancient Roman times. In medical science most eponymous terms can be attributed to doctors, although in the past names of cities or patients have also been used as eponymous terms. Examples in medicine are Lyme disease (Lyme, Connecticut) and Lou Gehrig’s disease (disease suffered by Henry Louis Gehrig, 1903-1941). What became known as Lyme disease was seen in 1975 in a large cluster of cases in three towns of southeastern Connecticut. This included the towns of Lyme and Old Lyme, giving the disease its popular name. Lou Gehrig was a well-known baseball player of the New York Yankees. He died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 1941, and ALS in the United States now has his name attached to it. Eponyms in general, but particularly in medicine, can arise in several ways: 1) By referencing an original description 2) As a tribute to (for instance) a teacher or colleague 3) By naming something after yourself 11 Chapter 1 The first way is probably the most common. The second is a very great honor and the greatness of being truly “named after” is not bestowed on many people. In general, more disputes have arisen from colleagues “stealing” an eponym than there are eponymous terms developed in honor of a co-worker. The third way is in our opinion the least fancy and quite arrogant.

  • THE ROMANCE of BIBLE CHRONOLOGY Rev
    THE ROMANCE OF BIBLE CHRONOLOGY Rev. Martin Anstey, BA, MA An Exposition of the Meaning, and a Demonstration of the Truth, of Every Chronological Statement Contained in the Hebrew Text of the Old Testament Marshall Brothers, Ltd., London, Edinburgh and New York 1913. DEDICATION To my dear Friend Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D.D. to whose inspiring Lectures on “The Divine Library in Human History” I trace the inception of these pages, and whose intimate knowledge and unrivalled exposition of the Written Word makes audible in human ears the Living Voice of the Living God, I dedicate this book. The Author October 3rd, 1913 FOREWORD BY REV. G. CAMPBELL MORGAN, D. D. It is with pleasure, and yet with reluctance, that I have consented to preface this book with any words of mine. The reluctance is due to the fact that the work is so lucidly done, that any setting forth of the method or purpose by way of introduction would be a work of supererogation. The pleasure results from the fact that the book is the outcome of our survey of the Historic move- ment in the redeeming activity of God as seen in the Old Testament, in the Westminster Bible School. While I was giving lectures on that subject, it was my good fortune to have the co—operation of Mr. Mar- tin Anstey, in a series of lectures on these dates. My work was that of sweeping over large areas, and largely ignoring dates. He gave his attention to these, and the result is the present volume, which is in- valuable to the Bible Teacher, on account of its completeness and detailed accuracy.

In addition, a systematic review comparing the Thessaly’s test with a long standing test such as the McMurray test has not been previously conducted. Objective: To systematically identify and appraise all empirical studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the Thessaly test and McMurray test. Procedure: Eligible studies were identified through a rigorous search of ScienceDirect, CINAHL Plus, Pubmed, PEDro, EMBASE and Cochrane Library from January 2004 until August 2014. Full English reports of studies investigating the accuracy of the Thessaly test and McMurray test. Quality Assessment of Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy (QUADAS) scores were completed on each selected article. Results: The Thessaly test reported to have higher diagnostic accuracy values (61-96%) compared to the McMurray test (56-84%).

Powell III, Jamie Beavers, and Emmanuelle Monte Arkansas State University A rank-ordered list was constructed that reports the first 99 of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. Eminence was measured by scores on 3 quantitative variables and 3 qualitative variables. The quantitative variables were journal citation frequency, introductory psychology textbook citation frequency, and survey response frequency. The qualitative variables were National Academy of Sciences membership, election as American Psychological Association (APA) president or receipt of the APA Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award, and surname used as an eponym. The qualitative variables were quantified and combined with the other 3 quantitative variables to produce a composite score that was then used to construct a rank-ordered list of the most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. The discipline of psychology underwent a eve of the 21st century, the APA Monitor (“A remarkable transformation during the 20th cen- Century of Psychology,” 1999) published brief tury, a transformation that included a shift away biographical sketches of some of the more em- from the European-influenced philosophical inent contributors to that transformation.

We present a case in which a fracture-dislocation appeared irreducible because of a fixed dislocation of the proximal fibula fragment behind the lateral tibia ridge. This so-called Bosworth fracture-dislocation was however initially not appreciated from the initial radiographs, but was identified during urgent surgical management. The trauma-mechanism, radiographs, treatment, and literature are discussed Keywords Fibula; Ankle; ORIF; Fracture-dislocation; Bosworth 2 Introduction Acute fracture-dislocations of the ankle occur infrequently but are a true orthopedic emergency. Besides the intense pain and distress caused to the patient, the gross displacement may cause pressure necrosis of the anterior skin, vascular and neurologic impairment, and compressive damage to the cartilage of the talar dome and tibia joint surface. Immediate reduction of the fracture, and thereby relieving the compromised neurovascular structures provides overall good results. There are several case reports and series reporting on non-reducible fracture-dislocations of the ankle1-3.

At the same time, successful closed manipulations in an ankle joint fracture and dislocation are dicult because of the bula attachment at the posterolateral ridge of the tibia or at the fractured end of the posterior tibia. Patient concerns: A 56-year-old man visited the hospital for further evaluation of a swollen, deformed right ankle resulting from a tumble 4 hours ago.

Methods: Fifty-six members of the special force brigade of the military who had sustained ankle fractures during parachute land- ings between January 2005 and April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The injury sites and fracture sites were identified and the fracture types were categorized by the Lauge-Hansen and Weber classifications. Follow-up surveys were performed with re- spect to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score, patient satisfaction, and return to preinjury activity. Results: The patients were all males with a mean age of 23.6 years. There were 28 right and 28 left ankle fractures. Twenty-two patients had simple fractures and 34 patients had comminuted fractures. The average number of injury and fractures sites per person was 2.07 (116 injuries including a syndesmosis injury and a deltoid injury) and 1.75 (98 fracture sites), respectively.
