Medical Subject Headings (MESH) . . U.S. National Library of Medicine. Medical Subject Headings (MESH) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Subject_Headings . ."Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is a comprehensive controlled vocabulary for the purpose of indexing journal articles and books in the life sciences; it can also serve as a thesaurus that facilitates searching. Created and updated by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), it is used by the MEDLINE/PubMed article database and by NLM's catalog of book holdings.
.MeSH can be browsed and downloaded free of charge on the Internet through PubMed. The yearly printed version was discontinued in 2007 and MeSH is now available online only.[1] Originally in English, MeSH has been translated into numerous other languages and allows retrieval of documents from different languages."
. . Contents 1 Structure of MeSH 1.1 Descriptor hierarchy 1.2 Descriptions 1.3 Qualifiers 1.4 Supplements 2 Use in Medline/PubMed 3 Categories 4 See also 5 References 6 External links . . Structure of MeSH .The 2009 version of MeSH contains a total of 25,186 subject headings, also known as descriptors.[2] Most of these are accompanied by a short description or definition, links to related descriptors, and a list of synonyms or very similar terms (known as entry terms). Because of these synonym lists, MeSH can also be viewed as a thesaurus.[3]
. Descriptor hierarchy .The descriptors or subject headings are arranged in a hierarchy. A given descriptor may appear at several places in the hierarchical tree. The tree locations carry systematic labels known as tree numbers, and consequently one descriptor can carry several tree numbers. For example, the descriptor "Digestive System Neoplasms" has the tree numbers C06.301 and C04.588.274; C stands for Diseases, C06 for Digestive System Diseases and C06.301 for Digestive System Neoplasms; C04 for Neoplasms, C04.588 for Neoplasms By Site, and C04.588.274 also for Digestive System Neoplasms. The tree numbers of a given descriptor are subject to change as MeSH is updated. Every descriptor also carries a unique alphanumerical ID that will not change.
. snip . CategoriesThe top-level categories in the MeSH descriptor hierarchy are: . Anatomy [A] Organisms [B] Diseases [C] Chemicals and Drugs [D] Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] Psychiatry and Psychology [F] Biological Sciences [G] Physical Sciences [H] Anthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena [I] Technology and Food and Beverages [J] Humanities [K] Information Science [L] Persons [M] Health Care [N] Publication Characteristics [V] Geographic Locations [Z] .
