We acknowledge the organisations, publishers and creators whose work supports learning in this library. Source credits are collected here so that ordinary pages can focus on the topic you came to read.
MedlinePlus
Courtesy of MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine.
Our A-Z includes terminology from MedlinePlus Health Topics, Genetics and Medical Tests. Where an entry displays a retained MedlinePlus definition or summary, that text comes from the NLM-produced health-topic material. MaxArc adds its own navigation, classification and review controls.
This acknowledgement does not cover separately copyrighted A.D.A.M. encyclopedia content, third-party drug monographs, or unlicensed images. Their rights remain separate.

Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)
Terminology from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), U.S. National Library of Medicine. We use selected headings, identifiers and classifications to organise the encyclopedia; they are not full medical articles.
MeSH version used: 2026. This identifies the retained release, not a claim that our copy is the latest available.
NCI Thesaurus
Terminology from the NCI Thesaurus, U.S. National Cancer Institute, used under CC BY 4.0. Titles and identifiers are reused; MaxArc classification and index status are added by MaxArc.
Release used: 26.07d. Original terminology remains attributable to the U.S. National Cancer Institute; MaxArc organisation and index status do not imply NCI approval.
