Is anyone aware of a US vs UK medical terminology glossary? Know where I can find one?

I'm localising & proofreading a doctor's thesis from US English to UK English, and while I'm aware of some differences (e.g. 'dyspnoea' vs 'dyspnea', 'oedema' vs 'edema', etc) I'm worried I may be missing others.

Thanks Nov 8, 2014

Thanks. I had already seen the previous forum post, but wondered if anyone was aware of a specific glossary or list.

Word's spellchecker points out some of the differences, but only for basic terms, and obviously wouldn't indicate if a whole drug class had the wrong name in UK English for example.
