* Osler's sign is an artificially high systolic blood pressure reading due to the calcification of atherosclerotic arteries.

* Osler's nodes are raised tender nodules on the pulps of fingertips or toes, an autoimmune vasculitis that is suggestive of subacute bacterial endocarditis.

* Osler's filaria is a parasitic nematode.

* Osler's manoeuvre: in pseudohypertension, the blood pressure as measured by the sphygmomanometer is artificially high because of arterial wall calcification.

Osler's manoeuvre takes a patient who has a palpable, although pulseless, radial artery while the blood pressure cuff is inflated above systolic pressure ; thus they are considered to have " Osler's sign.

* First edition of William Osler's textbook The Principles and Practice of Medicine, designed for the use of practitioners and students of medicine is published in Edinburgh while the author is Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

Their presence is one definition of Osler's sign.

The Osler's sign of pseudohypertension is an artificially and falsely elevated blood pressure reading obtained through sphygmomanometry due to arteriosclerotic, calcified blood vessels which do not physiologically compress with pressure.

It is also known as " Osler's maneuver ".

Osler's speech was covered by the popular press which headlined their reports with " Osler recommends chloroform at sixty ".

Osler's Textbook Revisited: A Reprint of Selected Sections with Commentaries, ( New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1967 ).

Osler's nodes and Janeway lesions are similar, but Osler's nodes present with tenderness and are of immunologic origin.

Osler's lesions found on the hand and fingers of a 43 year old male with subacute bacterial endocarditis.

Osler's hospitals include Etobicoke General, Brampton Civic and the soon-to-be redeveloped Peel Memorial which together provide a comprehensive range of acute care, ambulatory and ancillary health services.

* Immunologic phenomena: Glomerulonephritis which allows for blood and albumin to enter the urine, Osler's nodes ( painful subcutaneous lesions in the distal fingers ), Roth's spots on the retina, positive serum rheumatoid factor

The latter, which also occur on the palms and soles, can be differentiated from Osler's nodes because they are nontender.

William Osler's father, Featherstone Lake Osler ( 1805 – 1895 ), the son of a shipowner at Falmouth, Cornwall, was a former Lieutenant in the Royal Navy and served on.

Educated at the original Trinity College School in Weston Ontario, as a teenager William Osler's aim was to follow his father into the Anglican ministry and to that end he entered Trinity College, Toronto ( now a constituent college of the University of Toronto ) in the autumn of 1867.

Perhaps Osler's greatest contribution to medicine was to insist that students learn from seeing and talking to patients and the establishment of the medical residency.

Osler's essays were important guides to physicians.

Sir William and Lady Osler's ashes now rest in a niche within the Osler Library at McGill University.

Osler's brain was taken to the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia to join the Wistar Brain Collection.

* Osler's triad: association of pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis.

Wales played host to two touring Southern Hemisphere teams in the 1930s, first came Bennie Osler's South Africa followed by Jack Manchester's All Blacks.

Osler's nodes are painful, red, raised lesions found on the hands and feet.

Osler's nodes result from the deposition of immune complexes.

Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis ( AHL, or AHLE ), also known as acute necrotizing encephalopathy ( ANE ), acute hemorrhagic encephalomyelitis ( AHEM ), acute necrotizing hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis ( ANHLE ), Weston-Hurst syndrome, or Hurst's disease, is a hyperacute and frequently fatal form of ADEM.

An example of X-linked ataxic condition is the rare fragile X-associated tremor / ataxia syndrome.

Optic ataxia is usually part of Balint's syndrome, but can be seen in isolation with injuries to the superior parietal lobule, as it represents a disconnection between visual-association cortex and the frontal premotor and motor cortex, and ataxic respiration ( lack of coordination in respiratory movements, usually due to dysfunction of the respiratory centres in the medulla oblongata ).

** Waterhouse – Friderichsen syndrome is adrenal gland failure due to bleeding into the adrenal glands, caused by severe bacterial infection.

It is also used to treat symptoms of traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) and the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome ( POTS ) and chronic fatigue syndrome ( CFS ).

There is a risk of a benzodiazepine withdrawal and rebound syndrome after continuous usage for longer than two weeks, and tolerance and dependence may occur if patients stay under this treatment for longer.

* Quetiapine ( Seroquel )-Used primarily to treat bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and " off-label " to treat chronic insomnia and restless legs syndrome ; it is a powerful sedative.

Its main usefulness is the treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders such as Huntington's disease and Tourette syndrome, rather than for conditions such as schizophrenia.

In the period of 3 – 6 weeks following cessation increased anxiety, depression as well as sleep disturbance is common ; fatigue and tension can persist for up to 5 weeks as part of the post-acute withdrawal syndrome ; about a quarter of alcoholics experience anxiety and depression for up to 2 years.

A kindling effect also occurs in alcoholics whereby each subsequent withdrawal syndrome is more severe than the previous withdrawal episode ; this is due to neuroadaptations which occur as a result of periods of abstinence followed by re-exposure to alcohol.

AVM is not generally thought to be an inherited disorder, unless in the context of a specific hereditary syndrome.

The syndrome of " Amok " is found in the DSM-IV TR.

Although commonly used in a colloquial and less-violent sense, the phrase is particularly associated with a specific sociopathic culture-bound syndrome in Malaysian culture.

Amok is often described as a culture-bound ( or culture-specific ) syndrome, which is a psychological condition whose manifestation is strongly shaped by cultural factors.

Long-term use is controversial due to concerns about adverse psychological and physical effects, increased questioning of effectiveness and because benzodiazepines are prone to cause tolerance, physical dependence, and, upon cessation of use after long term use, a withdrawal syndrome.

Tolerance can develop to their effects and there is also a risk of dependence, and upon discontinuation a withdrawal syndrome may occur.

Restless legs syndrome can be treated using clonazepam as a third line treatment option as the use of clonazepam is still investigational.

While catatonia is only identified as a symptom of schizophrenia in present psychiatric classifications, it is increasingly recognized as a syndrome with many faces.

; Acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ): Acute coronary syndrome is a broad term encompassing many acute myocardial infarction symptoms.
