Wasn't planning on uploading this but YOLO, right? :D

Clearance of inulin and para-aminohippuric acid mnemonic
Inulin stays INside the tubules (neither secreted nor reabsorbed).
That is why, the clearance of Inulin is equal to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
PAH is PAssed to tubules (completely secreted).
That is why, the clearance of para-aminohippuric acid is equal to the renal plasma flow.

How to remember digoxin is renally excreted
"diGOxin needs to GO."
This helps me remember that you need to go and pee digoxin and hence it is renally excreted! =D
Remember one and the other one is the other one.. Digitoxin uses the hepatic route of metabolism.

Antifungal drugs (with mechanism of action) mnemonic
Hola! Me again!
Drugs and their mechanisms can be difficult to remember.. I like pairing the action with the drug name to make it easy. We are doing anti-fungals today (Yaay!)
Mr. Ampho tears holes in the fungal membrane.
Mister rhymes with Nyster and it reminds me of Nystatin. Ampho is Amphotericin.
The word "Squatter" reminds me that Squalene epoxidase is inhibited by terbinafine.

Oxygen saturation mnemonic
I imagine Hemoglobin as a seat for oxygen to sit on. The RBC is like a bus and wohhoo travels the oxygen to it's destination!
Anyway..
If something doesn't allow oxygen to sit on it seat decreases O2 saturation.
Sit - seat - sat, get it?
Carbon monoxide sat on oxygen's seat. O2 saturation decreases in CO poisoning.

Antiparkinsonism drugs mechanism mnemonics
Hey everyone!
We'll be learning about drugs that are used in Parkinson's disease.
Drugs and their mechanisms are hard to remember because they are soo many! I like pairing the action with the drug name to keep it simple!

Left testicular vein drains into (Mnemonic)
Hey guys!
Did you know that the right gonadal vein, right suprarenal vein and the right inferior phrenic vein drain into the Inferior Vena Cava?
Really? Then where do the left sided veins drain?
Left renal vein!
How do I remember this? @_@
I use the "RIVer" buzzword to remember Right sided veins drain into the IVC.
The fact that the left gonadal vein (testicular vein) drains in the left renal vein is particularly high yield because 98% of idiopathic varicoceles occur on the left side.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) mnemonic
Greeting everyone! =)
SERMs are Selective estrogen receptor modulators.
They have varied effects on estrogen receptors in different tissues and it might get confusing (especially, effects of different drugs on the endometrium!) Mnemonic to the rescue! ^__^

Berksonian bias, Pygmalion effect and Hawthorne effect mnemonic
Hey everyone!
Because the names are so hard to remember, I make silly associations out of them and I hope it helps you all too =)
Berksonian bias: Selection bias that arises from evaluating data on biased patients and hospital records only.
When it comes to Berksonian bias I think of Preston Berke from Grey's anatomy and I know that it's associated with the hospital and patients!
Pygmalion effect: The observer-expectancy effect is a form of reactivity in which a researcher's cognitive bias causes them to unconsciously influence the participants of an experiment.
Researchers are pigs. They think their research is always right. Pygmalion effect! xD
Hawthorne effect: When behavior of the subjects of the study change because they know they're being observed.
Haww I am being studied. Hawthorne effect!
That's all!
Pray that I do well in my exams.

This is awesome. A Tumblr post with gifs and tables. Yaay!

Binds CCR 5 inhibiting in interaction with gp 120.
InTEGRAse inhibitors - RalTEGRAvir
Inhibits HIV genome integration into host cell chromosome by inhibiting HIV integrase.
