Introduction: What is MeSH®?
MeSH® is:
- an acronym for Medical Subject Headings.
- the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s controlled vocabulary (thesaurus).
- a vocabulary that gives uniformity and consistency to the indexing and cataloging of biomedical literature.
- a distinctive feature of MEDLINE.
- arranged in a hierarchical manner called the MeSH® Tree Structures updated annually.
Who uses MeSH®?
- Searchers of MEDLINE/PubMed, library catalogs, and other databases use MeSH® to assist with subject searching.
- National Library of Medicine (NLM) indexers use MeSH® to describe the subject content of journal articles for MEDLINE.
Catalogers use MeSH® to describe books and audiovisuals in the NLM and other medical library collections (see the Using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) in Cataloging online training course).

- Reactive oxygen species, including oxygen-derived free radicals, play a key roles in all four phases of wound healing. During hemostasis, they participate in platelet activation, and simultaneously with the injury, their prompt release via NOX enzymes from the damaged cell membranes activates polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This continues during the inflammatory phase and also triggers the differentiation […]
- The demand for natural and sustainable ingredients in dermo-cosmetic formulations has promoted the use of coastal salt-tolerant plants as novel bioresources. This study evaluated aqueous extracts of Limonium algarvense and Polygonum maritimum, two salt-tolerant coastal plants and their mixtures (3:1, 1:1, 1:3, w/w) for antioxidant, metal-chelating, enzyme-inhibitory, antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. Chemical profiling revealed diverse […]
- CONCLUSION: Both plant extracts preserved cell viability, reduced ROS levels, and maintained mitochondrial integrity, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents for PD.
- Chronic exposure to deoxynivalenol (DON)-contaminated food and feed poses significant hepatotoxic, enterotoxic, and immunotoxic risks to humans and animals. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a crucial cellular protective factor, plays a pivotal role in oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. This review demonstrates that modulation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway can mitigate oxidative […]
- RATIONALE: Estimates of the population prevalence of chronic pain with neuropathic components range from 6% to 10%. Current pharmacological treatments for neuropathic pain help only a minority. New treatments are needed. Cannabis is increasingly promoted in the media as a treatment for chronic pain. This is an update of a review first published in 2018.
- CONCLUSIONS: Brief olfactory stimulation with hinoki cypress essential oil improved swallowing function and increased saliva secretion in older adults with dysphagia compared with placebo in a randomized crossover design. Hinoki cypress essential oil inhalation may represent a simple, noninvasive adjunctive strategy for dysphagia management, warranting confirmation in larger and longer trials.
- CONCLUSIONS: Cochlospermum religiosum exhibits promising multitarget anticancer potential, coupled with immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective effects. These findings provide a strong foundation for further mechanistic and clinical investigations.
- Medicinal plants such as Centella asiatica, Conyza sumatrensis, and Justicia betonica are widely used in Uganda for traditional wound healing. However, the impact of cultivation conditions on their therapeutic potential remains poorly understood. This study compared the phytochemical profiles and bioactivities of hydroponically cultivated and wild-collected material of these species from Lugazi Diocese, Uganda. Extracts […]
- CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that LC extract effectively suppresses uPA activity while exerting cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cells, indicating its potential as a anticancer and chemoprevention agent.
- CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that integrating herbal treatment with TCM targeted drug delivery synergistically enhances immunomodulation, improves joint function, alleviates clinical symptoms and reduces side effects in RA patients.
- CONCLUSION: It is concluded that due to antibiotic resistance, medicinal plant extracts are an alternative for chronic infection treatment.
- CONCLUSION: Dendrobium officinale effectively improves MetS parameters. Vicenin II and Schaftoside are identified as key active constituents, likely exerting therapeutic effects through potent PTP1B inhibition.
- CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant S. pneumoniae in Pakistan and highlight the urgent need for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship, improved surveillance systems and preventive measures to address the rising threat of resistant strains and shifting serotype distribution.
- CONCLUSIONS: Research on gut microbiota-mediated TCM immunotherapy demonstrates the theoretical basis for TCM's trans-organ antitumor effects.
- CONCLUSIONS: BZD exerts anti-LC effects through multi-target regulation, particularly involving AKT1, PIK3CA, SRC, and HSP90AA1, as well as suppression of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for its potential clinical application in LC therapy and warrant further in vivo investigation.
