We present the historical background of 5 eponymous terms in pelvic and acetabular injury treatment. The eponymous terms Duverney fracture, Malgaigne fracture, Judet-Letournel classification, Kocher-Langenbeck approach and Stoppa approach are discussed. After presenting the original description by the coining author, a short biography of the author is given. For each eponymous term the current clinical implication is given and discussed afterwards.

Eponyms are widely used in the field of orthopedic surgery, including for surgical instruments. Although their use is at times controversial, an appreciation of the history behind eponymous terms allows one to both recognize the shortcomings of the past and simultaneously be inspired by ingenious inventors. The primary purpose of this review is to provide a historical perspective of clamps and forceps commonly used in orthopedic surgery, to better appreciate the evolution of their use over time, and to inspire innovation to constantly improve upon surgical instrumentation as the field of orthopedic surgery advances.

Introduction: Molecular chaperones and co-chaperones are highly conserved cellular components that perform a variety of duties related to the proper three-dimensional folding of the proteome. The web of factors that carries out this essential task is called the proteostasis network (PN). Ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) represent an underexplored area in terms of the connections they make with the PN.

Article Synopsis
- The author aims to honor Dr. Adelola Adeloye, a notable figure in Global Neurosurgery, by documenting his life and contributions.
- Born in Nigeria in 1935, Dr. Adeloye co-discovered the Adeloye-Odeku disease in 1971, a rare congenital cyst affecting the anterior fontanelle, initially described in Nigerian patients.
- The Adeloye-Odeku disease has since been identified in various ethnic groups worldwide, highlighting its significance beyond its initial association with Africa, while distinguishing between two types of cysts through histopathology.

While arguments have been made both for and against the value of anatomical eponyms, limited research exists regarding their use by anatomists. As the editors of the principal international anatomy journals have purview and control of terminology in anatomical journals, their perceptions regarding the relevance, ethics and inclusivity of eponym use in anatomy and in publishing in anatomical journals were investigated. A validated, confidential and anonymized self-administered questionnaire which included open-ended questions was distributed to the 22 Editor-in-Chiefs/Senior Editors of anatomical journals.

Eponyms do not describe any pathogenesis of a disease. So, there is no other way than to memorize the disease or anatomical area. Over the years, new nomenclatures have been suggested for some diseases due to a better understanding of the pathogenesis.
