How to conduct research and publish your work
Published in David McGowan, Helen Sims, Making the Most of Your Medical Career, 2021
They should be searchable within the Medical Subject Headings (or MeSH) database (available at: www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh). Obviously this isn’t always feasible, particularly if you’re describing something novel for the first time, but wherever possible you should do this, as it will result in correct search-linking in PubMed.
Electronic Sources of Information
Published in Jeffrey T. Huber, How to Find Information About AIDS, 2019
CANCERLIT covers the literature of cancer, including bibliographic citations and abstracts of journal articles, books, government reports, meeting abstracts, and dissertations/theses. It is searchable by subject using Text Words and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) (see MEDLINE for a description of MESH).
How to search and critically appraise the literature
Published in Felicity Goodyear-Smith, Bob Mash, How to Do Primary Care Research, 2018
Controlled vocabularies use a specific term for a number of synonyms. Once you find the correct term, you do not need to use synonyms in order to perform your search. A controlled vocabulary employs a thesaurus that prescribes which term should be used for a concept. For example, Medline (PubMed) employs the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) thesaurus. The MeSH term for lung cancer is lung neoplasms. An article written about lung cancer will be indexed under the term lung neoplasms even if the phrase lung neoplasms does not appear in the article. A factsheet on MeSH is available at https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/mesh.html and tutorials on MeSH are available at https://learn.nlm.nih.gov/rest/training-packets/T0042010P.html.

Published in Medical Education Online, 2023

A keyword search was conducted on the following databases: PubMed, Medline (OVID), Embase, CINAHL. To define the search terms, we reviewed the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) database and consulted a librarian at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland. The following search terms were used: [emotions OR stress OR happiness OR anxiety OR frustration OR aggression OR well-being OR quality of life OR psychological safety] AND communication AND [operating room OR operating theatre OR surgery]. We included the above range of alternative terms to capture the literature relevant to different topics in the healthcare literature where emotions or emotional responses were potentially discussed. As we were seeking interpersonal communication in the OR team, we selected terms that referred to the OR environment rather than specific disciplinary groups. This search was conducted on 29 May 2019 and repeated on 18 September 2021 and included all literature up to the second week of September 2021. No limit was used on the start date of the search period.
The relationship between chronotype and obesity: A systematic review
Published in Chronobiology International, 2023
The screening of the publications related to the subject was carried out retrospectively. Keywords were formed based on the research questions. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) was used for the English keywords, and Turkey Science Terms (TST) for their Turkish equivalents. PubMed, OVID-LWW, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, ScienceDirect, MEDLINE Complete, Cochrane Library, and ULAKBIM databases were screened for this systematic review using the keywords “obesity” (“overweight” OR “body mass index” OR “body weight” OR “obese” OR “obesity management” OR “weight gain”) AND “chronotype” (“morningness” OR “eveningness” OR “circadian rhythm” OR “biological rhythm” OR “sleep cycle” OR “sleep-wake cycle”). Studies that were published between January 01, 2010 and December 31, 2020 and had accessible full texts were reviewed as part of the study.

PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for articles on EVT for ischemic stroke patients with and without atrial fibrillation and the effects of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, published in the English language from 1988 to 2022. The search strategy used for PubMed database and Google Scholar were different combinations of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms of the National Library of Medicine, which are used to index articles for PubMed and keywords. MESH terms and Keywords were ‘Atrial Fibrillation,’ ‘Ischemic Stroke,’ ‘Adjunctive Intra-arterial Therapies,’ ‘Treatment Outcome,’ ‘Intravenous Thrombolysis,’ ‘Alteplase,’ ‘Tenecteplase,’ ‘Risk Factor,’ ‘Prehospital Care,’ ‘Endovascular Treatment’ and ‘Endovascular Thrombectomy’, or ‘Mechanical Thrombectomy.’ The selection criteria in the PubMed database and Google Scholar were restricted to observational studies, post-hoc analyses of randomized controlled trials and randomized controlled trials. In addition, from the articles retrieved, additional references were identified by a manual search among the cited references. We used the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) to ensure the quality assessment of non-systematic reviews in Appendix.
