For N, I thought it was Non-24 Sleep/Wake Disorder at first, which I have, but rarely see mentioned anywhere so I was surprised. Narcolepsy I thought was the tendency to fall asleep suddenly and without warning. My aunt was narcoleptic for a while and would fall asleep on the toilet or sometimes in the middle of a sentence.

That one also took me a few extra seconds, but I looked it up and that's the definition given by the NIH. We discovered my late brother had it when he fell asleep while driving. Not a good time to discover it but thankfully his wife was in the car with him and was able to get control of the car enough to get it off the highway before they crashed.

Yes, I'm sure. But it's encouraging seeing you accept responsibility for this problem.

Great quiz - I struggled with the X one as well, thinking Fragile X was the main identified 'syndrome' that would relate

4 mosquito borne diseases named here and it didn't even include the most common one, Malaria. They truly are the arch nemesis of humans.

Just tried a Japanese name for "K". GOAL! This is even better than getting credit for the "UK" when I start to type "Ukraine".

Great quiz! On a sort of related note, I've created one that matches diseases to the pathogens that cause them. You can find it here!

Carpal tunnel was something that would occasionally be brought up in band class when I was in high school, so that's how I remembered that one.

XYY syndrome, unlike Klinefelters XXY or Turner syndrome XO, is basically asymptomatic and unscreened. No one learns about it in medical school and is probably quickly skimmed over even in genetic counseling school. I would switch off this answer for something more common. I suggest Xerostomia = dry mouth. A technical term for a pretty common symptom that is seen in several rheumatologic diseases.

Kawasaki Disease: my son got when he was one. Good to see that there's more info about it. It's clue to have an early diagnosis.

Is Kawasaki not a lymph node disease? Another disease named for a Japanese doctor that is one type of vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation) is Takayasu's artiritis.

Kawasaki is also a type of vasculitis. The difference between Takayasu and Kawasaki is that the former affects large vessels like the aorta and the latter medium to small vessels like the coronary arteries. There are tons of vasculitides and believe me when I say memorizing them is any med student's worst nightmare :)

I’ve only ever heard it referred to a Kleinfelter’s. At the very last moment I typed XXY! Unfortunately….

It's fun seeing how much med school teaches you. Last time I was on here it looks like I hadn't even started college and I got a 20. Had never even heard of things like Kawasaki. Now, it was a pretty easy 26 for me :) I'd definitely love to see more medical quizzes on this site!
