Melody's update: Now using a variety of medical references to check each term in the list of ~1700 terms, including abbreviations. About 150 lines were excluded.

The source of this list is the April 24, 2024 version of this file: https://medlineplus.gov/xml/mplus_topics_2024-05-03.xml

Melody is actively working on this.
