Ontologies for Knowledge Representation
Published in Archana Patel, Narayan C. Debnath, Bharat Bhushan, Semantic Web Technologies, 2023
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) [19] is an ontology developed by the U.S National Library of Medicine (NLM) consisting of medical and biological terms organized as a hierarchical structure. MeSH includes the subject headings appearing in MEDLINE/PubMed, the NLM Catalog, and other NLM databases. It is used for indexing, cataloging, and searching biomedical and health-related information.

Published in Research in Sports Medicine, 2023
Elif Turgut, Ezgi Nur Can, Cigdem Demir, Annelies Maenhout
The literature was initially scanned for a systematic review of the effects of shoulder taping on the selected outcome in overhead athletes, and no review was found. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the PubMed (1966 to 2021) and Web of Science (1945 to 2021) databases with a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords (Supplementary file 2). A manual search on the reference lists of all eligible articles was conducted in an attempt to find any further relevant references. Two authors conducted the literature search separately. All articles searched were inserted into Rayyan, an online tool available at https://rayyan.qcri.org. The first screening was based on the title and then the abstract of the articles. Afterwards, the full texts of the articles selected were further screened to decide which one met the selection criteria and could therefore be included in the review.
Acute caffeine supplementation and live match-play performance in team-sports: A systematic review (2000–2021)
Published in Journal of Sports Sciences, 2022
Adriano Arguedas-Soley, Isobel Townsend, Aaron Hengist, James Betts
The search strategy used was: (concept 1) (caffeine OR coffee) AND (concept 2) (supplement OR supplementation OR “ergogenic aid”) AND (concept 3) (basketball OR football OR rugby OR soccer OR hockey OR handball OR netball). Search terms included Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Text Words. The search criteria for PubMed is displayed in Table 1. The search conditions were identical for Web-of-Science, Scopus and SPORTDiscus, but terms were not included as MeSH. The search results (Titles & abstracts) were downloaded to Endnote (X8; Clarivate Analytics, UK) and duplicates were eliminated manually. Titles and abstracts were screened for full-text review by two investigators (AAS & IT), independently. Disagreements were resolved through discussion. Where access to a manuscript was not possible – e.g., due to recent journal acceptance (Raya-González et al., 2021) – authors were contacted directly, and the manuscript and data were obtained.

Faith O Alele, Richard C. Franklin, Theophilus I. Emeto, Peter Leggat
A systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Cochrane Library, and Scopus for original research articles published in English from inception until June 2017. We included all articles focusing on TB and LTBI among heath care workers (HCW) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).20 There were slight variations in the search terms depending on the database. Search terms involved a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. General search terms were tuberculosis, “health professional”, and “sub-Saharan Africa”. The search strategy for Medline is shown in Appendix 1. The systematic review was conducted in accordance to the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 statement.21 The PRISMA flow chart for the review is shown in Figure 1.
