MeSH Subheadings for PBL
 
  • Subheadings may be attached to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and their exploded trees to narrow retrieval to standard aspects of a disease, chemical, or physiological phenomenon, for instance.
  • These groups are based on the National Library of Medicine's Hierarchies.
  • For an alphabetical list of all MeSH subheadings, see NLM's Topical Qualifiers with Scope Notes.
  • Ovid's Subheading Display shows only those subheadings allowed for the chosen MeSH.
  • On the Subheading Display, click the to see the Scope Note for a subheading.
