About These MeSH Terms
Explosions
- The National Library of Medicine's MEdical Subject Headings
can be "exploded" on MEDLINE to include more specific
MeSH.
-
in the above table indicates a subject heading that can
be exploded.
- MeSH are organized into subject hierarchies called trees.
- Trees can be examined by clicking on the underlined MeSH
on Ovid's Mapping Display or via its Tools icon on its Main
Search Page. N.B., the explosion boxes must be manually
selected from the first right-hand column on this screen.
-
From its Mapping Display our Ovid MEDLINE
automatically explodes MeSH, which it indicates with
the abbreviation exp on its Search History.
-
Jaw Diseases, for instance,
can be exploded to include: Jaw Abnormalities,
Jaw Edentulous, Jaw Neoplasms, Mandibular Diseases,
Maxillary Diseases, et al. and all their subordinant
terms.
Focus
- Ovid uses an asterisk to indicate MeSH that describe the
focus of an article.
- exp *Oral Surgical Procedures would yield all articles
focused on the procedures themselves.
Subheadings
- MeSH may be further modified by subheadings.
- Ovid presents them for selection on its Subheading Display
whenever one selects a single MeSH from its Mapping Display.
- Ovid attaches subheadings to the chosen MeSH with a slash
on its Search History and Complete Records.
- exp *Mouth Diseases/ surgery would yield articles
focused on surgical aspects of the many terms in the Mouth
Diseases tree.
- exp mouth/ surgery would yield all articles on
surgical aspects in the tree for the mouth and its anatomical
parts.
- MeSH /subheading combinations in Ovid's Complete Record
are linked to lists of related articles, which it then posts
to its Search History.
Scope Notes
- give definitions for most MeSH and subheadings.
- are linked by Ovid's circled, yellow information icons
on various screens and via the Tools icon.
