Understanding Entries and Subentries
Entries are arranged in the main entry/
subentry format. Most subentries are
found under main entries that are single
word nouns. For example, subdeltoid
bursitis can be found in a submenu under bursitis, Babesia ovis under Babe-
sia and so on.
Note: In most subentry menus, the
main headword is abbreviated to its
first letter, for example B. ovis, so that
you can type ovis in the Babesia submenu to quickly find Babesia ovis. Articles and prepositions can also be
ignored in searches. For example to
find base of stapes in the Base submenu, just type stapes.
Latin terms (Nomina Anatomica) are
cross referenced to the English terms.
Definitions of anatomical terms are
listed under their English equivalents;
for example, to find the definition
faster, look up encephalocele instead of
cranium bifidum.
Abbreviations are either cross-referenced to the main entry or are ex-
panded. For example if you look up MI
you are cross-referenced to myocardial
infarction.
Eponyms are terms named after people.
A search on a person’s name will yield
a short biographical sketch followed by
cross-references to the eponyms. For
example, a search on Weill will take
you to the Weill, Georges entry with a
cross reference to Weill-Marchesani
syndrome.
