The Gene Ontology ( GO ) and Medical Subject Headings ( MeSH ) serve as " Table of contents " in order to structure the millions of articles of the MEDLINE database.

The United States National Library of Medicine uses “ abducens nerve ” in its Medical Subject Heading ( MeSH ) vocabulary to index the vast MEDLINE and PubMed biomedical databases.

MEDLINE uses Medical Subject Headings ( MeSH ) for information retrieval.

* very recent entries to records for an article before it is indexed with Medical Subject Headings ( MeSH ) and added to MEDLINE ; and

For comprehensive, optimal searches in PubMed, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of its core component, MEDLINE, and especially of the MeSH ( Medical Subject Headings ) controlled vocabulary used to index MEDLINE articles.

It features peer-reviewed original medical journal articles, CME ( Continuing Medical Education ), a customized version of the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database, daily medical news, major conference coverage, and drug information — including a drug database ( Medscape Drug Reference, or MDR ) and drug interaction checker.

Compiled by the United States National Library of Medicine ( NLM ), MEDLINE is freely available on the Internet and searchable via PubMed and NLM's National Center for Biotechnology Information's Entrez system.

Searching MEDLINE effectively is a learned skill ; untrained users are sometimes frustrated with the large numbers of articles returned by simple searches.

The last issue of Index Medicus was printed in December 2004, but this information is offered in the freely accessible PubMed amongst the more than fifteen million MEDLINE journal article references and abstracts going back to the 1960s and 1. 5 million references going back to the 1950s.

PubMed is a free database accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics.

BMJ is included in the major indexes PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, and the Science Citation Index.

For example, articles in the biomedical literature are available publicly from MEDLINE which is accessible through PubMed.

It is a common misconception that the abstracts in MEDLINE provide sufficient information for medical practitioners, students, scholars and patients.

Created and updated by the United States National Library of Medicine ( NLM ), it is used by the MEDLINE / PubMed article database and by NLM's catalog of book holdings.

In MEDLINE / PubMed, every journal article is indexed with about 10-15 subject headings, subheadings and supplementary concept records, with some of them designated as major and marked with an asterisk, indicating the article's major topics.

When performing a MEDLINE search via PubMed, entry terms are automatically translated into ( i. e. mapped to ) the corresponding descriptors with a good degree of reliability ; it is recommended to check the ' Details tab ' in PubMed to see how a search formulation was translated.

The journal is abstracted and indexed in MEDLINE / PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents / Life Sciences, Current Contents / Clinical Medicine, Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, The Zoological Record, EMBASE, Chemical Abstracts, CAB International, and Scopus.

The earliest record of " cathepsin " found in the MEDLINE database ( e. g .. via PubMed ) is from the Journal of Biological Chemistry in 1949.

The JACN is abstracted or indexed in Current Contents, Index Medicus, MEDLINE, Science Citation Index, SciSearch, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, CAB International and BIOSIS.

The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index, MEDLINE, Current Contents, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, Social Work Abstracts, Abstracts in Anthropology, Criminal Justice Abstracts, Studies on Women & Gender Abstracts, AgeLine, and Education Research Abstracts.

Is a database that contains details of articles of Controlled trials and other studies of healthcare interventions from bibliographic databases ( majorly MEDLINE and EMBASE ), and other published and unpublished sources that are difficult to access.

The MEDLINE database records two independent scientific studies on Dianetics, both conducted in the 1950s under the auspices of New York University.

These figures were extracted through an analysis of the papers contained within the MEDLINE database.

The earliest scientific paper recorded in the MEDLINE database as containing the specific term signal transduction was published in 1972.

The MEDLINE / PubMed database uses this citation style and the National Library of Medicine provides " ICMJE Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals -- Sample References ".

Cochrane researchers will perform searches of medical databases including MEDLINE, PubMed and EMBASE ; a continually updated database of trials called the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials ( CENTRAL ); hand searching, where researchers look through entire libraries of scientific journals by hand and ; reference checking of obtained articles in order to identify studies that are relevant to the question they are attempting to answer.

The NLM maintains numerous medical and genomic databases, searchable via its Entrez search system, including MEDLINE ( PubMed ) and OMIM ( a genetic traits database ).

* MEDLINE, an international literature database of life sciences and biomedical information

MEDLINE functions as an important resource for biomedical researchers and journal clubs from all over the world.

MEDLINE influences researchers in their choice of journals in which to publish: few biomedical researchers today consider publishing in a journal not indexed by MEDLINE, because other researchers would not find ( or cite ) their work.

More than 5, 500 biomedical journals are indexed in MEDLINE.

* EAGLi-A Terminology-powered ( Gene Ontology, Swiss-Prot keywords ...) biomedical question answering engine for MEDLINE

The SPECIALIST Lexicon contains information about common English vocabulary, biomedical terms, terms found in MEDLINE and terms found in the UMLS Metathesaurus.

The National Library of Medicine leases the MEDLINE information to a number of private vendors such as Ovid, Dialog, EBSCO, Knowledge Finder and many other commercial, non-commercial, and academic providers.

MEDLINE also covers much of the literature in biology and biochemistry, as well as fields such as molecular evolution.

Engines designed to search MEDLINE ( such as Entrez and PubMed ) generally use a Boolean expression combining MeSH terms, words in abstract and title of the article, author names, date of publication, etc.

Along with the Cochrane Library and a number of other databases, MEDLINE facilitates evidence-based medicine.

Most systematic review articles published presently build on extensive searches of MEDLINE to identify articles that might be useful in the review.

In 2011, PubMed / MEDLINE was searched 1. 8 billion times, up from 1. 6 billion searches in the previous year.

Unlike using a typical Internet search engine, PubMed searching of MEDLINE requires a little investment of time.
