Tips

history
库欣综合征 (Cushing's syndrome) is named after Harvey Cushing (1869-1939), the founding figure of modern neurosurgery, who first described it in 1932. The transliteration + maps the English 'Cu-' + '-shing' fairly literally. The ('joyful') is also a popular character in Chinese given names.
