History
Timme's syndrome is a historical term for pluriglandular disease ( disease involving a number of endocrine organs ) first described in 1919.
A mneumonic to remember what to ask in an endocrine history was coined by Susan Roberts in 2012: What Miriam used broke (the) infertile model's hair and made her mad. PS (systems review). This stands for: weight, malaise, urine (polyuria/polydipsia), bowel changes, infertility/impotence, mood, heat/cold intolerance, abdominal pain, menstural changes, heat/cold intolerance, myopathy, pituitary symptoms, skin changes.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
