Abbreviations and Acronyms

Some years ago, I started compiling a list of many of the abbreviations and acronyms that appear here regularly. The idea was to make it relatively quick and easy to look up abbreviations and acronyms without being too waylaid by the many irrelevant possibilities web searches tend to return.

I continue to update the document quite frequently!

If you have not downloaded a copy for some time, perhaps months or years :-) , I suggest you download a new copy.

Please, if you think there is anything missing or wrong, let me know. Post on the forum or send me a Private Message.

The information above have now been incorporated into my Vade Mecum document.

helvella - Vade Mecum for Thyroid

The term vade mecum means:

1. A referential book such as a handbook or manual.

2. A useful object, constantly carried on one’s person.

Please don't get put off by the number of pages!

Not everything is in this one document - my major medicines document is still separate!
