Endodontists

It is estimated that 80 % of patients who present in the dentist office with emergency symptoms have endodontically related pain - The EndoExperience

Endograft Infections

Although early graft infection may occur from contamination during device implantation, the most common cause of infection is heterogeneous spread from another site - Richard Slama MD

Endoscopy (GI)

Naming a specific moment when the modern endoscopic era began is an imprecise art, one that is also subject to biases in perspective - Nezhat

Endotoxins (Lipopolysaccharide)

Endotoxin was considered to be a toxin retained inside the bacterial cell as in contrast to the exotoxin that is released into the surroundings by live bacteria. Although subsequent work showed that endotoxin can be released by live bacteria as well. Today endotoxin is commonly used as a synonym for lipopolysaccharides (LPS). LPS is the major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria do not retain crystal violet as they carry a thin cell wall which is made of a single layer of peptidoglycan surrounded by the outer membrane which invariably contains LPS. During Gram-negative sepsis, endotoxin binds to host macrophages and induces release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and excessive inflammation can lead to multiple organ failure and death - Yen-Ming Hsu

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLA)

Endovenous laser ablation is a method of treating varicose veins using a laser and guided imaging to close damaged veins. While it treats underlying veins that lead to the bulging varicose veins that we see on the surface, EVLA alone doesn’t treat the visible surface veins. However, it is one of the best methods of treating the underlying veins to prevent more lumpy surface veins from appearing - Professor Mark Whiteley

Endurance Training

Do you want to get fitter and have more energy? Then endurance training is just the thing for you - Smartwod

Energy Boosters

Stroll the aisles of any pharmacy or “health food” store and you’ll see a multitude of herbs and other supplements that claim to boost energy. Soft drinks and so-called energy drinks include these products. Yet there is little or no scientific evidence to support the claims for most of these substances - Harvard Health

Energy Drinks

Yesterday's overachiever reached for a cup of coffee; today's overachiever might reach for an energy drink instead. Oh, by the way, today's "overachiever" in need of an energy boost is also more likely to be 12 to 24 years old - HWN

Energy Drinks - Is High Performance in a Can a Bad Thing?

Despite their growing popularity, energy drinks remain controversial because of the effects of excessive caffeine, combination with alcohol and marketing to tweens and teens

ENT (Otolaryngology)

It’s a little bit minimally invasive surgery. A little bit non-invasive procedures. A little bit of plastics. A little bit of orthopaedics. A little bit of neurosurgery. And a little bit of good old open dissection. A little bit of immunology, rhinology, family practice, pediatrics, infectious disease, oncology - Matt Carlson MD

ENT Emergencies

ENT complaints are common presentations to ED, particularly in children, and will occupy a significant portion of your time in minors. There are also some true ENT emergencies that you need to recognise such as epiglottitis and epistaxis - St Mungo's ED

ENT Health

Conditions of the ears, nose, and throat come in all shapes and sizes, ranging in severity and differing in symptoms - EverydayHealth

Epidemics

Each epidemic has its own little shop of horrors that you have to sort out - Peter Hotez MD

Epidemiologists

Epidemiologists are medical detectives—investigating disease patterns in human populations. Using fieldwork, research, and data analysis, they identify what triggers disease, why it spreads, what can stop it, and whom it puts at risk - Susan Daugherty

Epidemiology

Understanding disease spread is at the core of epidemiology, the study of the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It’s not just about counting cases; it’s about grasping how and why diseases spread the way they do - Chandana Balasubramanian

Epidemiology Journals

As our world continues to generate unimaginable amounts of data, more data lead to more correlations, and more correlations can lead to more discoveries - Hans Rosling

Epidemiology Orgs

It is very important for the public to understand that the greatest strength of epidemiology is also its greatest weakness - Jan Vanderbroucke

Epidermolysis Bullosa

Individuals with EB lack critical proteins that bind the skin's two layers together. Without these proteins, the skin tears apart, blisters, and shears off, leading to severe pain, disfigurement, and internal and external wounds that may never heal - EB Research Partnership

Epidural injections were never created to treat the cause of your pain or inflammation - Dr. Joseph Mannella

Epigenetics

In every human being genomes tell the story of our evolution, written in the language of DNA. The narrative is unmistakable and ever changing - Michael Corthell

Epiglottitis/Supraglottitis

Adults come in with it and people don’t think about it because it’s not as frequent as it used to be, and it’s presenting in people that the textbooks don’t say it presents in - Michael G Stewart MD

Epilepsy

What do you think of when you think of the colour purple? Purple Rain, Purple Haze or Lucky Heather maybe? It means much more to many people, as pink is to breast cancer, purple is to epilepsy - Epilepsy Sucks UK

Epilepsy and Cannabis

In more recent times, cannabis has returned as a possible treatment for epilepsy thanks to parents who have turned to the plant after anti-epileptic drugs failed to help - Mari Lodi

Epinephrine (Adrenaline)

The recommendation for epinephrine is based on studies in the 1960s, which found epinephrine given to asphyxiated dogs improved survival.9 The alpha-adrenergic effects improved coronary perfusion in these dogs, with some benefit in survival - Brit Long MD

Epinephrine (Adrenaline) Neurotransmitter

A biogenic amine and hormone belonging to catecholamines that also functions as a neurotransmitter. It is secreted by the adrenal medulla and by neurons of the sympathetic nervous system into the bloodstream in response to anxiety, fear and stress, and thus is the most potent stimulant of the sympathetic nervous system - Brian Hopkins

EpiPen

If you’ve ever seen someone go into anaphylaxis, it’s pretty scary. But if they have an EpiPen, they can self-administer lifesaving medication—the patient pulls off the cap, then rams the needle into her own thigh - Alexandra Ossola

Epiploic Appendagitis

Unlike its mimics, such as appendicitis or diverticulitis, epiploic appendagitis is, generally, a self-limiting disease and is treated with anti-inflammatory therapy - Marco Di Serafino

Episiotomy

Routine or prophylactic episiotomy is the quintessential example of an obstetrical procedure that persists despite a total lack of evidence for it and a considerable body of evidence against it - OB Myths

Epistaxis & TXA

The most difficult aspect of the approach (at least in our EDs) is coordinating with the pharmacy to attain the injectable TXA, but otherwise there is little downside to adding TXA to your nosebleed armamentarium - Dustin Ballard MD & David Vinson MD

Epley Maneuver

Vertigo with no other symptoms. Remember this. Look it up, do it. If BPPV is your issue, The Epley Maneuver will fix you - Julie Zickefoose

EPO (Erythropoietin)

Erythropoietin is distinct among the hematopoietic growth factors because it is produced primarily in the kidneys rather than the bone marrow - Sandra Donnelly MDCM

The American health system is rife with gaps and inequities. The result is inadequate or no insurance and services for millions of families and unacceptable differences in resources and health conditions related to income, race, and location - Brieanna Nicker

ER Abuse

The overuse of emergency rooms is a growing and increasingly costly problem that results in overcrowding, long waits, overly stressed health professionals and compromised care for people with true emergencies - Jane E Brody

Erb's Palsy

Brachial plexus injuries can be caused by trauma sustained during a difficult childbirth, and it affects approximately 1 to 2 children per 1000 live births. Erb’s palsy is caused by injury to the fifth (C5) and sixth cervical (C6) spinal nerves, whereas Klumpke’s palsy is caused by injury to the eighth cervical (C8) and first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves - Carl Tabb II, BS

ERCP

Because an ERCP has a higher rate of serious complications than other endoscopy procedures, it is mainly used for treatment when the bile duct is blocked. It is used less often to make a diagnosis - Canadian Cancer Society

Erectile Dysfuction Management

Whereas, exercise and psychological therapy have shown to be helpful, ED is mostly rooted in physiologic causes and, as such, can require medical care and treatment - Dr. Adrienne Lara

ED is a health disorder that is treatable and even curable. But, most people don't have the patience to control ongoing health issues or change their lifestyle. Do you? - HWN

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Drugs

Erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs are the most counterfeited medications in the world - Michael Reitano

Erectile Dysfunction - A Really Big Issue

ED is a health disorder that is treatable and even curable. But, most people don't have the patience to control ongoing health issues or change their lifestyle. Do you?

Erectile Dysfunction Supplements

The most common ingredient in 47% or 166 of of the 353 adulterated "sexual enhancement" supplements was sildenafil, which happens to be the active ingredient in Viagra. Hmmm - Bruce Y. Lee

Erection (Hard On)

Getting hard sounds like a simple equation. Think about sex, and voilà! But boners are a complex, biological process - Grindr

Erotic Asphyxiation

An act seemingly once confined to bondage and “kink” communities has become mainstream. Despite the many risks to health (including death), sexual choking is now popular, even commonplace, particularly among young people - Hannah Bows

Erowid

The courage that Earth and Fire had to move in public at a time of fear and suspicion in the dominant culture, really went a major way towards destigmatising the field of psychedelics - Rick Doblin

ERs

The ER has become the de facto multi-specialty clinic of the 21st century. The modern ER no longer just serves as the place for sewing up wounds or triaging patients for more acute care - Howard Forman

Ertapenem (Invanz)

Ertapenem is a widely used drug in the inpatient setting which makes knowing the side-effect profile invaluable for the practice of hospital medicine. Carbapenem toxicity can significantly affect morbidity and it is important to consider in the differential of encephalopathy - Sara A Cerrone MD

Eructation (Belches & Burps)

Belching, also known as eructation, is the audible escape of air from the oesophagus into the pharynx. During each swallow between 8 and 32 mL of air is swallowed and enters the stomach. Excessive gastric distension due to swallowed air is avoided through reflux of air during belching - Benjamin Disney

Erythema Multiforme

In the ED setting, EM in children is frequently misdiagnosed. Greater awareness of diagnostic factors for EM may improve diagnostic accuracy - Jazlyn Read and Gerben B Keijzers

The hallmark of erythema nodosum is tender, erythematous, subcutaneous nodules that typically are located symmetrically on the anterior surface of the lower extremities. Erythema nodosum does not ulcerate and usually resolves without atrophy or scarring - Robert A. Schwartz MD

Erythritol

Yes, I too have tried to figure out how to properly pronounce it. Shamelessly, every time i say it in my head vs out loud it comes out completely different - Ooh La La

Erythroderma

It would be nice if there were only one cause of erythroderma. However, erythroderma is simply a clinical finding, not a diagnosis. We need to search for the root cause - Andrew Grock MD

Escherichia coli (E coli)

There are plenty of good E. coli strains such as those that assist in food digestion in the human intestines - Kelly Hedlund

Esophageal Atresia & Tracheoesophageal Fistula

People with EA frequently have other congenital anomalies. Most often, these fall within what’s known as the “VATER or VACTERL Association.” This “association” means that children tend to have birth defects involving certain organ systems - EAT

Esophageal Cancer

It’s called the “silent killer” because by the time esophageal cancer is diagnosed the National Cancer Society estimates that the survival rate is an average of five years = Lorraine Thompson

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

Esophageal foreign body impactions are a rare entity, that cause quite a bit of discomfort to patients and have the potential for esophageal necrosis and perforation - Salim Rezaie

Esophageal Perforation

Esophageal injuries must be suspected in penetrating neck injuries that violate the platysma, in transmediastinal gunshot wounds, and with significant chest trauma with associated tracheobronchial injuries - A. Britton Christmas & J. David Richardson

Esophageal Spasm

Generally speaking, spasms in the esophagus are not dangerous. Perhaps the most severe concern is not what esophageal spasm is, but what it is mistaken for. Intense chest pain could be a signal for angina, or coronary artery disease - Kalyana C. Nandipati MBBS

Esophageal Stricture

The most common cause of esophageal stricture is acid reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease - Paramount Surgery Center

Esophageal Varices

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is the second most frequent decompensating event in cirrhosis with gastroesophageal varices representing the most frequent source of bleeding. Despite significant advances in the management of this complication, development of acute variceal hemorrhage (VH) is still associated with a six-week mortality risk of ~15–20% - Alberto Zanetto

Esophageal Varices Management

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is the second most frequent decompensating event in cirrhosis with gastroesophageal varices representing the most frequent source of bleeding. Despite significant advances in the management of this complication, development of acute variceal hemorrhage (VH) is still associated with a six-week mortality risk of ~15–20% - Alberto Zanetto

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

ESR is considered the least specific inflammatory marker, as it is affected by more factors than PV and CRP. ESR is particularly affected by age and sex, as well as by haematocrit, lifestyle variables (such as alcohol consumption and regular physical exercise), and common metabolic differences (such as hypertension) - Dr Peter Saul

ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease)

Persons with advanced kidney disease should be empowered to understand how each new medication, life event, dietary change, or hospitalization can influence their disease progression - Carmen A. Peralta MD

ESRD Emergencies

Several serious problems are commonly encountered both in dialysis patients and in those with CKD who have not yet undergone dialytic therapy, and the approach is similar in the two patient groups. The two major dialysis modalities, hemodialysis and PD, are themselves associated with specific complications - Allan B. Wolfson

ESRD Grizz Chapman Kidney Don’t Fail Me Now!

Actor Grizz Chapman of NBC's “30 Rock” is on a mission to save lives. He’s spreading the word about the dangers of HBP and the importance of organ donation; both of which he knows about first hand

Essential (Primary) Hypertension

Just the essentials’ on: essential (primary) hypertension - Christopher Zambakari

Essential Amino Acid Supplements

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)

There are 20 amino acids, including 11 our bodies can create. We get the remainder—what nutrition experts call the essential amino acids—from the food we eat - Lauren David

Essential Fatty Acids

In nutrition, an “essential” nutrient is one that we need to obtain through food. This is true of the essential amino acids; there are nine of those. And it’s true of linoleic and linolenic acid, too. Our cells can create other types of fatty acids, but we can only get these two from our diets - Gena Hamshaw

Essential Oil Repellants

Even if essential oils were subject to the EPA’s efficacy-testing guidelines, all indications are that they would fall short of repellents containing picaridin and DEET. Essential oils are just not that great at repelling mosquitoes and ticks - Doug Mahoney

Essential Oils

So oftentimes these are oils that are actually used to help a plant protect itself against predators. So it makes sense that it would be used as both a preservative and as a medicine, because if it helps the plant, then presumably right if done correctly, could also help humans - The Gist

Essential Thrombocythemia

It is one of a related group of blood cancers known as “myeloproliferative neoplasms” (MPNs), in which cells in the bone marrow that produce blood cells develop and function abnormally. On average, individuals with ET have a normal life expectancy if they are properly monitored and treated - Blood Cancer United

Essential Tremor

Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. It is a progressive, often inherited disorder that usually begins in later adulthood. The tremors also may affect the head and voice, but rarely affect the legs - Johns Hopkins

Estheticians

We can literally change the world with our bare hands - Jane Wurwand

Estradiol (E2)

Estradiol is the main female sex hormone (estrogen). However, it is important for men as well as for women and is believed to play a variety of roles in reproductive health, brain development, cognitive functioning, bone health, thyroid function, and body weight - Joe Cohen BS

Estriol (E3)

Estriol, coined the “weaker” of the three endogenous estrogens, has significant therapeutic effects, some of which are little known - Erin Lommen

Estrogen

Estrogen is more than just an estrus-inducing sex hormone. In fact, this steroid hormone controls almost all aspects of female and even male health - Seema Patel

Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen dominance is at an all time high across the globe. Though there are many theories as to why, it’s likely a complex combination of factors including everything from the food that we eat, to the increase in xenoestrogens in our products, and even glyphosate - Jill Carnahan MD

Estrogen Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

It is not surprising that the pharmaceutical industry developed numerous estrogenic agents that could be swallowed, placed in the vagina, applied with a patch, or rubbed into the skin, and that these agents have been prescribed for and are now used by millions of women - Dong Duek Kwon

Estrone (E1)

Estrone is the first estrogen made in the human body. It is made from androstenedione (from either 17-OH progesterone or from DHEA). It can then be metabolized to estradiol, which, in turn, can be metabolized to estriol. In yet another act of contribution to estrogen balance, estrone is the storehouse for estradiol - Lisa Everett Andersen BSC

EtCO2

Waveform capnography can now be used.. to better assess patients in respiratory distress, cardiac arrest and shock. Capnography offers reliable feedback about the severity of a patient’s condition and how they respond to treatment - Bob Sullivan

Ethambutol

Ethambutol (EMB) is one of the first-line antimycobacterial drugs used to treat tuberculosis and is also used to treat atypical mycobacterium infections.
