Important Tricyclics:
I Have to Hide, the CIA is after me.
Clomipramine, Imipramine, Amitriptyline.
If want the next 3 worth knowing, the DND is also after me: Desipramine, Nortriptyline, Doxepin.
I love Mnemonics.
Cerebral regions that control temperature:
High Power Air Conditioner.
-(Heating = Posterior hipothalamo [hypothalamus]. Anterior hipothalamo [hypothalamus] = Cooling.
Features of Argyll-Robertsons Pupils:
Argyll-Robertsons Pupil is like a prostitute.
- (She/he will accommodate, but will not react. Pupil still accommodates, but doesn'treact to light. Pupil is a common sign in syphilis, which is often carried by prostitutes)
Causes of red eye:
GO SUCK
- (Glaucoma, Orbital disease, Scleritis, Uveitis, Conjunctivitis, Keratitis.)
Corneal Stromal Dystrophies:
Marilyn Monroe Gets High in LA
- (Macular: Mucopolysaccharide, Granular: Hyaline, Lattice: Amyloid)
What are the names of the cranial nerves:
Oh Oh Oh Oh To Touch and Feel Very Green Vegetables, ah Heaven!
- (Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accesory, Hypoglossal)
And others I don't even think would be appropriate for here.
Haven't made any of my own up yet, but that will be fun, and helpful.

We actually use the term 'POBA' for the (rare) times we perform angioplasty without stenting: "plain ol' balloon angioplasty".

Oh, what a coincidence that you just posted this, I've been learning a few different mnemonics for a neuro system test I'm having tomorrow. There is a weird dirty one for the 12 cranial nerves, but I don't want to offend anymore! Another one I read for remembering whether the cranial nerves are sensory, motor, or both is: Some say marry money, but my brothers say, big boobs matter more. (and if anyone is offended by that one, I'm a female WITHOUT big boobs, and still think it's funny!)

These aren't really Mnemonics, but fun and helpful anyway!
For lab values:
A great pair of BUNS is a 10 double it to get 20 (safe range for BUN is 7-24, but 10 to 20 will get you there!)
For Creatinine, (hope not to offend) The world was created in 7 days -- 0.7 to 1.4(DOUBLE IT)
HgB -- I use the "g" to remember "growth spurt" and you get the safe ranges for male and female -- 12 -16 for females and 14 - 18 for males
and Hct is 3 times Hgb...
Hope these help!! :)

For potassium level (3.5-5.0)
P means poor--I only have 3.5-5.0 dollars in my pocket
Not so great, actually, but it worked for me. Especially since I see/hear my classmate saying it in my head in similar tones to a 'your mama' joke...
