Most coronary aneurysms are due to CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS, and the rest 

are due to inflammatory diseases, such as KAWASAKI DISEASE.

Year introduced: 1987

Results: 21 to 26 of 26

21.Coronary Sinus

A short vein that collects about two thirds of the venous blood from the 

MYOCARDIUM and drains into the RIGHT ATRIUM. Coronary sinus, normally 

located between the LEFT ATRIUM and LEFT VENTRICLE on the posterior 

surface of the heart, can serve as an anatomical reference for cardiac 

procedures.

Year introduced: 2008

22.Coronary Circulation

The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART.

Year introduced: 1972

23.Type A Personality

24.Myocardial Reperfusion

Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic 

due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any 

source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or 

surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods 

include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of 

vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft 

surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage 

the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.

from Styrax liquidus and Borneolum; for therapy of angina pectoris

Date introduced: December 2, 1980

26.Microvascular Angina

ANGINA PECTORIS or angina-like chest pain with a normal coronary 

arteriogram and positive EXERCISE TEST. The cause of the syndrome is 

unknown. While its recognition is of clinical importance, its prognosis is 

excellent. (Braunwald, Heart Disease, 4th ed, p1346; Jablonski Dictionary 

of Syndromes & Eponymic Diseases, 2d ed). It is different from METABOLIC 

SYNDROME X, a syndrome characterized by INSULIN RESISTANCE and 

HYPERINSULINEMIA, that has increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary thesaurus 

used for indexing PubMed citations.

Use the MeSH database to find MeSH terms, including Subheadings, 

Publication Types, Supplementary Concepts and Pharmacological Actions, and 

then build a PubMed search. The MeSH database can be searched by MeSH 

term, MeSH Entry Term, Subheading, Publication Type, Supplementary 

Concept, or MeSH Scope Note.

More information about the MeSH database:

An autocomplete feature is available from the search box.

Search results are displayed in relevance-ranked order, therefore, when a 

users search exactly matches a MeSH Term, that Term is displayed first.

Click the MeSH term from the Summary display or choose Full from the 

Display Settings menu to view additional information and search 

specifications, such as Subheadings, restrict to Major MeSH Topic, or 

exclude terms below the term in the MeSH hierarchy.

Year Introduced is the year the term was added to MeSH. If more than one 

year is shown, the term was available for indexing back to the earliest 

year noted. Articles are indexed using the vocabulary in place at the time 

of indexing, therefore, the year introduced for a term and the date of 

publication of a citation indexed with that term may not agree.

Launching PubMed searches from MeSH

To build a PubMed search from MeSH, run a search, select terms using the 

check boxes, and then click "Add to search builder" in the PubMed search 

builder portlet. You may continue searching and including additional terms 

to the PubMed search builder using the Add to search builder and Boolean 

pull-down menu. When you are finished, click Search PubMed.

PubMed Tutorials

Understanding the Vocabulary 

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmedtutorial/015_010.html

MEDLINE uses a controlled vocabulary, meaning that there is a specific set 

of terms used to describe each article. Familiarity with this vocabulary 

will make you a better PubMed searcher.

The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)

MeSH is the acronym for "Medical Subject Headings." MeSH is the authority 

list of the vocabulary terms used for subject analysis of biomedical 

literature at NLM. MeSH vocabulary is used for indexing journal articles 

for MEDLINE and is also used for cataloging books and audiovisuals.

The MeSH controlled vocabulary is a distinctive feature of MEDLINE. It 

imposes uniformity and consistency to the indexing of biomedical 

literature. MeSH terms are arranged in a hierarchical categorized manner 

called MeSH Tree Structures and are updated annually.

Examples of MESH Headings

Body Weight

Dental Cavity Preparation

Radioactive Waste

Kidney

Self Medication

Brain Edema

Branching Out: the MeSH Vocabulary

Video

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/video/

The MeSH Tree Structure

MeSH vocabulary is organized by 16 main branches:

A.Anatomy

B.Organisms

C.Diseases

D.Chemical and Drugs

E.Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment

F.Psychiatry and Psychology

G.Biological Sciences

H.Natural Sciences

I.Anthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena

J.Technology, Industry, Agriculture

K.Humanities

L.Information Science

M.Named Groups

N.Health Care

Publication Characteristics

Geographic Locations

This example displays part of the hierarchy that includes the term, Face. 

Notice the narrower terms indented under the broader terms.

When PubMed searches a MeSH term, it will automatically include narrower 

terms in the search, if applicable. This is also called "automatic 

explosion."

Some terms occur in more than one place in the hierarchy. For example, 

"Eye" appears under the Anatomy branch, but also under the Sense Organs 

branch. Automatic explosion will include narrower terms from all instances 

of the term in the hierarchy.

Indexing with MeSH Vocabulary

NLM indexers examine articles and assign the most specific MeSH heading(s) 

that appropriately describes the concept(s) discussed.

The indexer will assign as many MeSH headings as appropriate to cover the 

topics of the article (generally 5 to 15). When there is no specific 

heading for a concept, the indexer will use the closest, general heading 

available. Indexers can also assign Subheadings to further describe a 

particular aspect of a MeSH concept.

Examples of Subheadings are: diagnosis, surgery, metabolism, pathology.

In addition to assigning MeSH terms that describe the topic of the 

article, the indexer provides terms that reflect:

characteristics of the group being studied (e.g., the age group, human or 

other animal, male or female) the material represented (Publication Types) 

e.g., Clinical Trials, Editorial, Review The MeSH terms that reflect the 

major points of the article are marked with an asterisk (*).

Example:

Article Title:

Hormone therapy in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women: examining the 

evidence on cardiovascular disease risks.

Abstract:

Women may live for 30 years or longer after menopause with cardiovascular 

disease as their highest mortality risk. Menopause may correspond to 

health alterations for women, yet the use of estrogen during and after 

this transition has been controversial for the past four decades. The 

evidence from recent scientific studies does not support the use of 

hormone therapy for the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease, 

which has resulted in its removal from national guideline recommendations. 

However, because of concerns related to specific aspects of the research, 

there are gaps in the evidence. Studies are under way to evaluate 

alternate methods for hormone delivery, low-dose hormone therapy, and 

selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in reducing cardiovascular 

risks in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Implications for 

clinical nursing practice include education as well as assessment and 

counseling related to individual risk factors.

Publication Types:

Review

Mesh Terms:

Aged

Cardiovascular Diseases/chemically induced*

Estrogen Replacement Therapy/adverse effects*

Evidence-Based Medicine

Female

Humans

Middle Aged

Perimenopause*

Postmenopause*

Risk Factors

Pharmacologic Action Terms

Every drug and chemical MeSH heading has been assigned one or more 

headings that describe known pharmacological actions (PA).

Since 1996, NLM indexers add the appropriate pharmacological action MeSH 

heading as well as the specific chemical MeSH heading to a citation when 

the action of the chemical is discussed in the article.

Example:

The pharmacological actions established for the MeSH Heading, Aspirin:

Pharmacological Action

Pharmacological Action

Pharmacological Action

Pharmacological Action

  Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal

Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors

Fibrinolytic Agents

Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

A citation to an article that discusses aspirin used as an 

anti-inflammatory agent will be assigned:

Aspirin

Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal

A citation to an article that discusses aspirin used to inhibit blood 

clotting will be assigned:

Aspirin

Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

In a later section of this tutorial, you will learn how to use PubMed's 

MeSH Database to find MeSH terms for searching.

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.

Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) Indexing Tips

Health Links

http://healthlinks.washington.edu/howto/medindexing.html

Textwords -- It is assumed you will use textwords in some cases to define 

a subject, e.g. tobacco smoke pollution (MeSH term) and passive (textword) 

to retrieve passive smoking.

Check Tags -- Large-volume concepts are routinely "checked" for in each 

article by indexers. Check tags pinpoint specific age groups, males or 

females, humans or animals, publication types, etc.

Law review

From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_review



"A law review is a scholarly journal focusing on legal issues, normally 

published by an organization of students at a law school or through a bar 

association.[1] The term is also used to describe the extracurricular 

activity at law schools of publishing the journal.



.



Law reviews should not be confused with non-scholarly publications such as 

the New York Law Journal or The American Lawyer, which are independent, 

professional newspapers and news-magazines that cover the daily practice 

of law (see legal periodical)."

ClinicalTrials.gov FROM U.S.
     National Institutes of Health 


ClinicalTrials.gov is a
Web-based resource that provides patients, their family members, health care
professionals, researchers, and the public with easy access to information on
publicly and privately supported clinical studies on a wide range of diseases
and conditions. The Web site is maintained by the National Library of Medicine
(NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Information on
ClinicalTrials.gov is provided and updated by the sponsor or principal
investigator of the clinical study. Studies are generally submitted to the Web
site (that is, registered) when they begin, and the information on the site is
updated throughout the study. In some cases, results of the study are submitted
after the study ends. This Web site and database of clinical studies is
commonly referred to as a "registry" and "results
database."



ClinicalTrials.gov contains information about medical studies in human
volunteers. Most of the records in ClinicalTrials.gov describe clinical trials
(also called interventional studies). A clinical trial is a research study in
which human volunteers are assigned to interventions (for example, a medical
product, behavior, or procedure) based on a protocol (or plan) and are then
evaluated for effects on biomedical or health outcomes. ClinicalTrials.gov also
includes records describing observational studies and programs providing access
to investigational drugs outside of clinical trials (expanded access). Studies
listed in the database are conducted in all 50 States and in 187 countries.
ClinicalTrials.gov does not contain information about all the clinical studies
conducted in the United States because not all studies are required by law to
be registered. However, the number of studies registered each year has
increased over time as more policies and laws requiring registration have been enacted
and as more sponsors and investigators have voluntarily registered their
studies.

Consolidated Human Activity
     Database - CHAD 


To understand how humans
are exposed to chemicals, scientists need to have accurate information on what
people do every day – where they spend their time, what they eat, and how long
they sleep, for example. These activities determine the contexts,
circumstances, and durations of our chemical exposures. Using these data,
scientists can better understand the chemicals that pose threats to human
health, and how best to limit or eliminate these risks.

AgeSource and AgeStats Worldwide
     FROM American Assoication of Retired Persons (AARP) 


"These two databases
have been created by AARP to facilitate the international exchange of policy
and program-relevant information in aging. AgeSource Worldwide℠
identifies several hundred information resources in some 25 countries which are
significant either in size or in their unique coverage of particular
aging-related issues. The resources include, among others, clearinghouses,
libraries, databases, training modules, major reports, and Web metasites. More
about AgeSource Worldwide℠ 



AgeStats Worldwide℠ provides access to comparative statistical data
that compare the situation of older adults across countries or regions around a
variety of issues areas. The most recent data and projections as far ahead as
2060 are provided where available. More about AgeStats Worldwide℠ You
may search either or both databases."

Search Tips



"If you have already done one search, click Reset before you perform a new
search--otherwise you will obtain incorrect or even zero results. This clears
all delimiters you may have previously chosen.

Searching by keyword



For best results in using the Keyword search box:



Limit your terms to subjects. Use the options in the Geographic Coverage search
box to add geographic entities such as countries, regions, or territories.

For ease of use, enter one subject term per search unless

you are searching for the combination of two or more terms. If so, use
"and" to separate your search terms-e.g., pensions and OECD. Your
results will then show resources whose titles or descriptions include both terms.
(The same result will occur if you separate your terms by a comma or do not
separate your terms at all.)

you want results for more than one search term. If so, separate your search
terms by the word "or"--e.g., pensions or retirement. Your results will
then show resources whose titles or descriptions include either term. Note: You
may have to sort through many results which may appear in a sequence that may
be difficult to understand.

Use quotation marks and an asterisk to find related keywords (for example,
"retire*" to retrieve documents with the index term(s) retirement,
retirement age, retirement communities, etc.). 

To reduce your chances of obtaining zero results, do not make any selections
under Focus your search--remember these are optional. The default setting will
select both databases for searching, plus all options in the remaining search
boxes.

Press submit at the bottom of the screen.



Focus your search



These options allow you to limit your search in several ways.



By database--however, you will maximize your "hits" by clicking on
the button next to Search both AgeSource and AgeStats. Of course, you may have
good reason not to!

By Information type--keep the control key depressed as you highlight your
choices if you wish to make more than one selection. If you do not make a
selection, the search engine will search all options for you.

By Geographic coverage--referring to the geographic scope of a particular
information resource. In this box:

World data refers to statistical data for the entire world. Note: This term
applies only to searches in AgeStats.

All countries and territories refers to statistical data for each geographic
entity.

Multiple countries refers to statistical data for many, but not all, countries.

The above terms are followed by a listing of all the countries and regions of
the world in alphabetical order. Note: We have used popular rather than
official names--e.g., North Korea for Democratic Republic of Korea. 

By Language of contents--refers to the major language(s) used in the material
collected by the information resource. Most entries are in English, but a
number use other languages or provide additional language versions.



Keep the control key depressed as you highlight your choices if you wish to
make more than one selection.



Remember to press submit at the bottom of the screen after you have made your
selections.



Finally, remember to click on Reset when you want to perform a new
search--otherwise, you will obtain incorrect or even zero results."

they don't simply befall us from fate or

bad luck.



To prevent injuries it is necessary to have information about the factors that
contribute to their occurrence. With this information we may understand the
options for prevention. Effective injury prevention requires a multifaceted,
multidisciplinary approach.

than 30 distinct professional disciplines relevant to preventing and
researching unintentional injuries, violence, and self-harm. Among these are
agriculture, anthropology, architecture, economics, education, engineering
specialties, ergonomics and human factors, health and medicine, law and law
