YourTerm MED
Clarifying Differences in Medical Terminology
YourTerm MED aims at creating multilingual glossaries in the healthcare field, which will enable people of different medical systems, studies and backgrounds to reach a common understanding of each medical concept and use the same term when referring to it. As a result, communication misunderstandings will be eliminated, helping communities and societies to create a solid communication basis among health-care professionals of different linguistic profiles.
Due to the numerous diastratic variations of medical terminology, this project can help in reaching a sustainable effective medical policy and practice for medicine and will reinforce communication between health-care professionals and their patients, also promoting medical policies, discoveries, and treatments all over the world.
There are currently six sub-projects for MED:
Bipolar Disorders are one of the categories belonging to psychiatric disorders, which currently affect the majority of the population and have devastating consequences on patients. This glossary will provide a depth description of the many manifestations of the illness, as well as the causes and treatments of this serious condition.
Complementary & Alternative Medicine
CAM is a group of medical and health-care systems, products and practices which is not considered as part of the conventional medicine, but which proved to give benefits in a wide series of contexts. Due to its innovative practice, a glossary on CAM will increase consistency in the use of terminology and eliminate scepticism.
Due to the evolving status of human health and safety, there is the need to track diseases and potential threats by bringing knowledge and finding solutions to increase worldwide safety. This glossary will share consistency among health-care professionals and researchers who need to quick an precisely name arising diseases and method of treatments.
Eponyms are a long-standing tradition in medicine, which can sometimes cast a shadow on the origin and manifestation of a condition. A fully-fledge termbase in this sub-domain not only provides highly reliable equivalents, but it can also describe each aspect of a pathology.
Vaccines
Immunization through vaccines prevents million deaths every year and it is the most efficient defence against viruses. The creation process and the method of action of a vaccine can be extremely complicate and can find space in biomolecular medicine. Therefore, this glossary will provide highly specialised terms in many medical sub-domains.
Oncology & Palliative Medicine
It is estimated that nearly 18 million people are diagnosed with cancer per year worldwide. This is why there is a urgent need of developing new oncological treatments and palliative cares aimed at improving quality of life by eliminating bothersome symptoms and psychological distress.
