Complex adnexal masses are common and often present as a diagnostic dilemma. Many of these complex adnexal masses require timely recognition and treatment. Therefore, it is important to have a good differential diagnostic approach to these lesions. The classic differential for complex adnexal mass is the mnemonic "CHEETAH." This mnemonic may be a helpful memory device for residents, especially ...

How do refugees experience home not just in the country of settlement but also along their journeys flight? Departing from theories that see as something which is left behind displacement, this paper explores how clothes act important mnemonic devices, storing and archiving memories different times places, whilst connecting people to new places en route. Through in-depth analysis two refugees’ ...

Having an organized, structured thinking process is critical in medicine. It is through this thinking process that enables one to go through the method of history-taking, which will eventually lead to making a definitive diagnosis and all other processes that follow. The use of mnemonic has been found to be useful for this purpose. The mnemonic VITAMINSABCDEK, is a convenient and practical way ...

This paper attempts to answer the question of what defines mnemonic confabulation vis-à-vis genuine memory. The two extant accounts of mnemonic confabulation as "false memory" and as ill-grounded memory are shown to be problematic, for they cannot account for the possibility of veridical confabulation, ill-grounded memory, and well-grounded confabulation. This paper argues that the defining cha...

The method of loci is one, if not the most, efficient mnemonic encoding strategy. This spatial mnemonic combines the core cognitive processes commonly linked to medial temporal lobe (MTL) activity: spatial and associative memory processes. During such processes, fMRI studies consistently demonstrate MTL activity, while electrophysiological studies have emphasized the important role of theta osc...

There is mounting evidence that prefrontal cortex (PFC) is activated during mnemonic operations such as working memory maintenance and also during response-related operations. In the current study, we examine the neural organization of mnemonic and response operations with respect to each other within PFC. Stimulus-evoked and sustained functional MRI activity was recorded during performance of ...
