<h2>
|
|
Publication Types
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the first time, Publication Types have been assigned Tree Numbers to create a hierarchical arrangement. New Publication Types were also added: <br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
Publication Components [Publication Type]; <br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
Publication Formats [Publication Type]; and <br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
Study Characteristics [Publication Type]. <br /><br />
|
|
|
|
During the last year, Support of Research was added as were Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural and Research Support, N.I.H., Intramural.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Three Publication Types have been deleted for 2006 MeSH. This streamlines the use of vocabulary for review literature.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006 MeSH<br />
|
|
Review [Publication Type]<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
2005 MeSH<br />
|
|
Review [Publication Type]<br />
|
|
Review of Reported Cases [Publication Type]<br />
|
|
Review, Multicase [Publication Type]<br />
|
|
Review, Tutorial [Publication Type]<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
The three deleted Publication Types have been added as entry terms (see references) to Review [Publication Type] and literature indexed with those descriptors will be maintained to the remaining, more general term.

<h2>
|
|
Organisms
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The headings for the phylum Mollusca were revised and expanded. The headings for the order Primates were revised. Many entry terms for specific species and genera of Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises were promoted into new descriptors. A new subcategory, Mesomycetozoea B8, was created. This is a class of parasitic and saprophytic microorganisms whose origins can be traced to near the animal-fungal divergence.

The multi-year effort to restructure descriptors with combined activity and structure meanings was continued for 2006 MeSH. Those descriptors remaining solely in D27 are activity descriptors that are used as Pharmacologic Actions (PA). Structural members of these groups were reviewed for proper placement in structural D trees and made PAs to the appropriate activities.

<h2>
|
|
Biological Fusion
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To update the different "fusion" concepts in MeSH, changes related to gene fusion and to membrane fusion have been made. For 2006, some 20 new descriptors were created. These include - Artificial Gene Fusion, Oncogene Fusion, Mutant Chimeric Proteins, and Membrane Fusion Proteins. Major types of Membrane Fusion Proteins were created, the most frequently cited were promoted from SCRs and treed under Membrane Proteins. Then the subconcept structures (splitting, merging) and heading mapping were updated on over 170 SCRs mapping to the appropriate new Membrane Fusion Proteins, Mutants Chimeric Proteins, or the old Recombinant Fusion Proteins.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Non-Placental Animal Reproduction</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Several new concepts related to reproduction in non-placental animals were created. These include: <br /><br />
|
|
Clutch Size<br />
|
|
Oviparity<br />
|
|
Ovoviviparity<br />
|
|
Viviparity, Nonmammalian.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
Pregnancy is used with placental organisms only. Clutch Size is to be used with oviparous or ovoviviparous animals only. Litter Size is used for viviparous animals.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Vitamins Category Change</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
MeSH has previously indented individual nutrients under Vitamins. As some of these are used chemically for other things, vitamins are now viewed in MeSH as an activity and placed in D27 (Chemical Actions and Uses). Individual vitamin compounds have been retained in their appropriate locations as a chemical such as Ascorbic Acid under Sugar Acids, and each has the Pharmacologic Action (PA) of Vitamins. This supports searches for literature on individual vitamins via the automatic PA explode, when searching "vitamins" in PubMed<span class="registered">®</span>.
