Mnemonic submitted by Alan (Thanks again) to which I have added some modification:
<br />
<br />
Ectopia lentis (Dislocation of lens) is seen in Marfans syndrome & Homocystinuria , but in one the dislocation is up (and outward) while in the other it goes down (and inward).<br />
<br />
Remember that "<span style="background-color: yellow;"> </span><b><span style="background-color: yellow;">uri</span>ne goes <span style="background-color: lime;">down</span> and<span style="background-color: lime;"> into</span> closet</b> "<br />
<br />
So lens get displaced <b style="background-color: lime;">down</b> and<b style="background-color: lime;"> inward</b> in Homocystein<b style="background-color: yellow;">uri</b>a ,<br />
And lens get displaced upand outward in Marfans syndrome (Opposite of above).<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, I thought that I add a picture mnemonic to spice up things because you don't know when these will come handy.<br />
Imagine a <b><span style="color: red;">MAN</span></b> (looking <i>up and out</i> to the sky) above a<span style="background-color: white;"> <b><span style="color: lime;">HO</span></b></span>rse ( looks <i>down and into</i> the track) (<b><span style="color: red;">MA</span></b>rfa<b><span style="color: red;">N</span></b> - <i>up n out</i>; <span style="color: lime;"><b>HO</b></span>mocustinuria - <i>down n in</i>)<br />

Here's another mnemonic for CTEV (Congentital Talipes Equino Varus) submitted by Alan James (Thanks):<br />
<br />
<br />
"<b style="background-color: yellow;">I</b>n<b style="background-color: red;">A</b>d<b style="background-color: lime;">E</b>quate" The deformities of the foot in Congenital Talipes Equino Varus(CTEV) are:<br />
•<b style="background-color: yellow;"> I</b>nversion<br />
•<b style="background-color: red;"> A</b>dduction<br />
•<b style="background-color: lime;"> E</b>quinus<br />
<br />
Also think: "t<b style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">A</b>l<span style="background-color: magenta;">I</span>p<span style="background-color: orange;"><b>E</b></span>s", to remember the sequence of correction of deformities:<br />
•<b style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"> A</b>dduction<br />
•<b style="background-color: magenta;"> I</b>nversion<br />
•<b style="background-color: orange;"> E</b>quinus<br />

Ever thought immunology is so complex? Why don't you put your imagination into a cartoon and remeber the complexities of innate immunity better? The innate immune system is an ancient host defense mechanism found in almost every multicellular organism from plants to humans. In invertebrates it is the sole mechanism of defense against pathogens but in higher vertebrates constitutes the first line of defense. The role of the innate immune system is not an insignificant one; not only must it discriminate between self and non-self as well as distinguish between pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes, it also plays an important role in triggering and optimizing the adaptive immune response. This remarkable system allows an immediate non-specific response against microorganisms whereas the adaptive immunity mounts a specific response against the invading pathogen during the late phase of the infection.<br />

The mnemonic was revealed when I got a patient with very high Alkaline phosphatase who had no clear cut evidence of bone / GI disease. So I read through the various tests to differentiate between ALP of Bone and Liver origin. There were various tests including GGT, Heat stability, Bone scan, Ct scan.... etc etc. But the point of Heat stability of ALP of liver origin has this interesting code: <br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;">B</span></strong>one <strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">B</span></strong>urns first, <span style="background-color: lime;"><strong>L</strong></span>iver <strong><span style="background-color: lime;">L</span></strong>asts / <strong><span style="background-color: lime;">LIVE</span></strong>s<br />
Explanation : ALP of Bone origin is heat labile (Burns), while that of Liver origin is heat stable (Lasts / Lives).</div>
