More Information about MeSH Terms:

MeSH is the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus. These terms are used by NLM for indexing articles from 4800 of the world's leading biomedical journals for the MEDLINE/PubMed database. It is also used for the NLM-produced database that includes cataloging of books, documents, and audiovisuals acquired by the Library. The MeSH terms are continually revised and updated by NLM subject specialists at NLM.
