Scope Note MeSH Medline The PubMed subsets (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/pubmed_subsets.html) are far from covering all the medical specialities. In a brief series, the Internet Page of JEAHIL will attempt to compensate for this deficiency by indicating MeSH terms (as well as journals and major web sites) concerning the different medical specialities. 

  1. The MeSH terms (unique or "parent" headings):  

    hemodialysis units, hospital
    hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome
    kidney
    kidney, artificial
    kidney diseases
    kidney function tests
    nephrectomy
    nephrology
    nephrostomy, percutaneous
    renal agents
    renal artery
    renal circulation
    renal replacement therapy
    renal veins
    These terms may be used to create a strategy in PubMed with the help of MyNCBI (http://myncbi.notlong.com), such as:
     
    hemodialysis units, hospital OR hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome OR kidney OR kidney, artificial OR kidney diseases OR kidney function tests OR nephrectomy OR nephrology OR nephrostomy, percutaneous OR renal agents OR renal artery OR renal circulation OR renal replacement therapy OR renal veins

    or go to URL: http://nephrology-in-PubMed.notlong.com

  2. The journals:

    The list of journals indexed in PubMed concerning the domain of nephrology may be retrieved by the following syntax applied to the     Journal Database: 

    renal * OR nephr* OR kidney* OR dialys*      or URL: http://nephro-journals.notlong.com

    Displaying the full record allows the check of the journal status, especially if the journal is current or not:

    Advances in chronic kidney disease. 
    pISSN: 1548-5595
    eISSN: 1548-5609
    MEDLINE Abbr: Adv Chronic Kidney Dis
    Publication Start Year: 2004
    Publisher: W.B. Saunders,
    Language: eng
    Country: United States
    NLM ID: 101209214

    The current journal titles may also constitute a search profile in MyNCBI     (http://myncbi.notlong.com), which may be added to the previous one by using the syntax: "Adv Chronic Kidney Dis"[Journal] OR "Adv Ren Replace Ther"[Journal], etc ...
