There are many ways to refer to one medical concept. MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) help you find the standard, preferred search words that most databases use to describe concepts. Using MeSH search words helps you improve your searches.
Note: MeSH subject headings are standard terms in the medical information world. Therefore, you can improve your searches in other databases using MeSH terms.
