63.MD4Sure.com -- CSA, USMLE Exam Preparation, Study Guides, Educational Resources
Failing memories are revived at MD4sure.com, a site that advertises the service of a former med student turned memory-improvement expert. Site advertises publications that make medical physiology easy to remember through the use of mnemonic themes. The diagnosis for de Quervain thyroiditis is taught to the tune of grunge rocker Kurt Cobain. One gem: "Kurt Cobain¦s Pain (Pain rhymes with Cobain) was alleviated by the sound of rock music flowing from his Hardwood Guitar (Firm Goiter)." Less-than-perfect English makes the site difficult to decipher, but services could be useful to med students preparing for exams.

78.GADGETS FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION
Though it is not really a gadget, the sauna or steam bath has been advertised for many years as a solution to obesity (the claim is generally that the heat will help "melt the fat away"). This site examines the sauna/steam bath as a weight management tool, dispelling many myths but also outlining its advantages--for many obese people, the extreme heat and humidity of the sauna softens their muscles and leads to general relaxation, alleviating chronic pains due to arthritis. Article also goes over the many safety precautions one should observe while in a sauna, as strokes or faintness can readily occur in such an overwhelmingly warm environment. Click back to the main page for many texts that dispel common medical myths, courtesy of this Indian health communications company.
