ou can now transfer a term found in the MeSH database to PubMed's <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/clinical.html">Clinical Queries</a> page. This is done using the Links pull-down menu available with the results of a <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=mesh">MeSH</a> database search. The Links menu already provides a way to run a search for a MeSH term in PubMed or the NLM MeSH Browser. The new Clinical Queries link will make it easier to use the MeSH database to find a MeSH heading, a subheading, or a publication type and then transfer the term to the query box on the Clinical Queries screen for a search.
</p>
<p>
Example:<br />
Search the MeSH database for enlarged heart.
</p>
<p>
On the results screen use the Links menu on the Cardiomegaly record to select Clinical Queries (See <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).
</p>
<center>
<a name="fig1">&nbsp;</a>
<img src="/pubs/techbull/jf04/jf04_graphics/cq_fig1.gif" alt="Figure 1: graphic" />
</center>
<p>
This MeSH term will be entered in the query box on the Clinical Queries page where you can proceed with either a search for
Clinical Queries or Systematic Reviews (See <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>). If desired, additional terms can be typed directly into the query box
using appropriate Boolean operators.
</p>
<center>
<a name="fig2">&nbsp;</A>
<img src="/pubs/techbull/jf04/jf04_graphics/cq_fig2.gif" alt="Figure 2: graphic" />
</center>
<p>
Note: Subheadings and the tags for Major Topic and Do Not Explode cannot be applied directly to MeSH headings
using the MeSH database Links menu options. For more information about using the MeSH database or Clinical
Queries page, see PubMed's <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?call=bv.View..ShowTOC&amp;rid=helppubmed.TOC&amp;depth=2">Help</a>.
