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

you to the Weill, Georges entry with a
cross reference to Weill-Marchesani
syndrome.
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 un-

ticles and prepositions can also be
ignored in searches. For example to
find base of stapes in the Base sub-
menu, just type stapes.
