<strong>Other Changes to the Schedule</strong><br /></p>
<ul>
<li><a name="canceled"></a> For the first time, canceled class numbers appear in normal sequence within the current schedules for informational purposes. These numbers are in square brackets, clearly marked with the caption: "This number not used." A compilation of these numbers is provided in <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/class/CanceledClassNumbers.html">Canceled Class Numbers</a>.</li>
<li>Lengthy notes at the beginning of each schedule have been reformatted to improve readability.</li>
<li>Selected class number captions were augmented to clarify their scope, e.g., at WB 400, <em>Nutrition Therapy</em> was added to <em>Dietetics. Diet therapy</em>.</li>
<li>Selected class number captions were changed to reflect changes in MeSH terminology, e.g., at QV 350, <em>Antibiotics</em> was changed to <em>Anti-bacterial agents</em>.</li>
<li>Various instructional notes were added or modified to clarify classification practices, e.g., at WZ 23, "Classify here histories of institutes devoted to medical history; classify other institutes with the field" was added.
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>Index</h3>
<p><strong>MeSH Additions, Changes, and Deletions for 2004&#151;Classification Implications</strong><br /></p>
<ul>
<li>Ninety-four (94) new main index entries were created, sixty-five (65) of which are from the 2004 MeSH; the remainder are MeSH terms from previous years.</li>
<li>Numerous main index entries and cross references were changed or deleted to reflect changes in the MeSH vocabulary. Those entries that were changed are a subset of <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/prefterm_change2004.html">Changed Descriptors&#151;2004</a>. Those entries that were deleted are a subset of <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/deleted2004.html">Deleted Descriptors&#151;2004</a>. In particular, major categories of index terms affected by MeSH changes include:<br />
<br />
<dl>
<dt>Racial Stock and Ethnic Group terms, e.g.,</dt>
<dd><em>Negroid Race</em> to <em>African Continental Ancestry Group</em></dd>
<dt>Drugs and Chemicals, e.g.,</dt>
<dd><em>Antibiotics</em> to <em>Anti-Bacterial Agents</em></dd>
<dt>Plant terms, e.g.,</dt>
<dd><em>Mustard</em> to <em>Mustard Plant</em></dd>
<dt>Bacteria terms, e.g.,</dt>
<dd><em>Budding and Appendaged Bacteria</em> to <em>Bacteria</em></dd>
</dl></li></ul>
<p><strong>Instructional Notes to Clarify NLM Classification Practices</strong><br /></p>
<ul>
<li>Various instructional notes were added to index entries to clarify classification practices. Major categories of index terms affected include:
<dl>
<dd>Nutrition&#151;Specific guidance is given for classification of infants, children, and/or adolescents.
<dd>Traditional medicine&#151;Current practice (WB) is clearly differentiated from historical practice (WZ)</dd>
<dd>Biography vs. history&#151;Collective biography of physicians, etc. (WZ 150) is distinguished from non-biographical history (WZ 80.5)</dd>
<dd>Patient transfer vs. lifting of patients&#151;Guidance is given for classification of administrative transfers (WX 158) versus general patient lifting procedures (WY 100.2)</dd>
</dl></li></ul>
<p><strong>Other Changes to the Index</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Index entries with Library of Congress (LC) HM schedule numbers were maintained to reflect major changes in the LC schedule.<br /><br /></li>
<li>All index entries pertaining to the schedule additions and changes were modified.</li>
</ul>
