3 Toronto Notes 2016
Dedicated to all
past and present contributors
and
supporters of Toronto Notes
who have made the production of the 2016 edition possible!
Note:
Many of you have wondered about the Toronto Notes logo, which is based on the rod of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. The rod of Asclepius consists of a single serpent entwined around a staff. This icon symbolizes both rebirth, by way of a snake shedding its skin, and also authority, by way of the staff.
In ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and a skilled practitioner of medicine who learned the medical arts from the centaur Chiron. Asclepius’ healing abilities were so great that he was said to be able to bring back people from the dead. These powers displeased the gods, who punished Asclepius by placing him in the sky as the constellation Orphiuchus. The rod of Asclepius is at times confused with the caduceus, or wand, of Hermes, a staff entwined with two serpents
and often depicted with wings. The caduceus is often used as a symbol of medicine or medical professionals, but there is little historical basis for this symbolism.
As you may have guessed, our logo uses the rod of Asclepius that is modified to also resemble the CN Tower – our way of recognizing the university and community in which we have been privileged to learn the art and science of medicine.

4 Toronto Notes 2016
Preface – From the Editors
Dear Readers,
As the Editors-in-Chief of Toronto Notes 2016 we are
proud to present this updated edition.
Toronto Notes began humbly in 1985 from a set of
student notes circulated among medical students at
the University of Toronto. Over time, Toronto Notes
has grown into one of the premier study resources for
generations of Canadian medical school graduates.
This rich history has led to our firm commitment to
publish a comprehensive study resource for medical
students engaged in clinical rotations and studying
for both the USMLE Step 2 and Canadian MCCQE
Part 1.
For over 30 years we have remained committed to
our original vision. The 2016 edition of Toronto Notes
contains significant improvements including:
1. A new emphasis on ‘Approaches to Common
Clinical Presentations’ in addition to traditional
content organized by disease.
2. A completely revised Psychiatry chapter
incorporating the DSM-V in a quick-to-reference
and readable format.
3. The Toronto Notes Quiz App, which is available
for free on iTunes and Google Play. This app
contains hundreds of questions allowing users to
test themselves on the content contained within
Toronto Notes.
4. A significantly improved interactive eBook with
many new high-quality colour images.
5. A brand-new Clinical Handbook that is more
concise, has numerous new figures, and features
approaches to hundreds of common clinical
situations.
Toronto Notes 2016 is produced by Toronto Notes
for Medical Students Inc., which is a non-for-profit
organization supporting various charity organizations
in the city of Toronto. This year Toronto Notes
for Medical Students has supported organizations
including medical school clubs, community outreach
groups, student bursaries and scholarships, and the
Canadian Cancer Society. Your purchase of Toronto
Notes 2016 is much appreciated by these well-
deserving groups.
We would like to highlight the exceptional work of
our team, composed of over 150 medical students,
medical illustrators/artists, and faculty members
at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine.
Without the tireless effort expended by these
individuals the production of Toronto Notes 2016
would not have been possible. In particular, we would
like to highlight the work of the executive team, all of
whom made personal sacrifices in balancing clinical
work with the responsibilities asked of them. We also
want to highlight the work of Jesse Lu and Kota Talla,
without whom the production of the Toronto Notes
Quiz App would not have been possible. Lastly, we
would like to thank our partners at Type & Graphics
Inc., particularly Enrica Aguilera, for their guidance
during the production of Toronto Notes 2016.
We hope you find Toronto Notes 2016 enhances your
medical knowledge and allows you to perform better
on both your clinical rotations and licencing exams.
We continue to encourage feedback – this year, we
have read and incorporated every piece of feedback
we received about the previous edition of Toronto
Notes. On behalf of the Toronto Notes 2016 team, we
wish you success in your studies.
Sincerely,
Zamir Merali, BSc. and Jason D. Woodfine, BSc.
