<a name="updated_mesh"></a>
<h2>MeSH Vocabulary Updated for 2020</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/#/fieldSearch">MeSH Browser</a> currently points to the 2020 MeSH vocabulary with a link to the 2019 MeSH vocabulary. Searchers should consult the Browser to find MeSH headings of interest and their relationships to other headings. The Browser contains MeSH heading records that may include Scope Notes, Annotations, Entry Terms, History Notes, Allowable Qualifiers (Subheadings), Previous Indexing, and other information. It also includes Subheading records and Supplementary Concept Records (SCRs) for substances, diseases, and organisms that are not MeSH headings.
</p>
<p>You can <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/download/mesh.html">download</a> 2020 MeSH from links on the
<a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/download/data_distrib_main.html">NLM Data Distribution page</a> for MeSH Data.
</p>
<p>
For highlights about 2020 MeSH, see <em>What's New for 2020 MeSH (forthcoming)</em>.
</p>
<p>
The PubMed MeSH database and translation tables will be updated to reflect 2020 MeSH by the middle of December when YEP activities are complete and the newly maintained MEDLINE data are available in PubMed.
</p>
<a name="updated_citations"></a>
<h2> Updated MeSH in MEDLINE Citations </h2>
<p>
MEDLINE citations with updated MeSH are anticipated to be in PubMed by mid-December 2019. See
<a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmedtutorial/040_040.html">"Modifying a Saved Search Strategy"</a>
for details on revising <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/">My NCBI</a> saved searches.
</p>
<a name="mesh_changes"></a>
<h2> Changes to MeSH Headings</h2>
<p>
For 2020, <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/nd19/nd19_mesh_replaced_headings_2020.html">97 MeSH headings</a> were either changed or deleted and replaced with more up-to-date terminology. During YEP, NLM updates these MeSH headings on MEDLINE citations.
</p>
<a name="new_mesh"></a>
<h2>New MeSH Headings and Concepts</h2>
<p>293 new MeSH headings, plus two new Publication Types, are added to MeSH in 2020.</p>
<p>A complete list of the new 2020 MeSH headings is available in PDF format, see <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/2020/download/2020NewMeSHheadingsSingleColumn.pdf">New Headings with Scope Notes, Annotations and Tree Locations</a>.</p>
<p>Typically, NLM does not retrospectively re-index MEDLINE citations with new MeSH heading concepts. Therefore, searching PubMed for a new MeSH term tagged with [mh] or [majr] effectively limits retrieval to citations indexed after the term was introduced. PubMed Automatic Term Mapping (ATM) expands an untagged subject search to include both MeSH Terms and All Fields index terms and may retrieve relevant citations indexed before the introduction of a new MeSH term. Searchers may consult the <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/#/fieldSearch">MeSH Browser</a> or the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh">MeSH database</a> to see the previous indexing terms most likely used for a particular concept before the new MeSH Heading was introduced.</p>
<h2>Changes of particular interest to searchers:</h2>
<a name="pub_types"></a>
<p><strong>MeSH Publication Types</strong></p>
<p>One new publication type is available for MEDLINE indexing in 2020:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000081262">Randomized Controlled Trial, Veterinary</a>
<ul>
<li>Indexing policy: Use for the original report of the conduct or results of a specific randomized veterinary clinical trial in which animal participants are randomly assigned to receive one or more interventions</li>
<li>Use the MeSH headings Clinical Trials, Veterinary as Topic and Randomization for the general design, methodology, economics, <em>etc.</em> of randomized veterinary clinical trials.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>One new publication type is available for NLM Cataloging only in 2020:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080871">Movable Books</a></li>

</ul>
<p>Thirteen preferred terms are changed for publication types that are used for Cataloging only.</p>
<p>One MeSH heading is changed to a publication type. This publication type is used for Cataloging only. A new "as Topic" MeSH heading was not created.</p>
<ul>
<li>Biobibliography as Topic is changed to <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D020467">Biobibliography</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>MeSH "as Topic" Headings</strong></p>
<p>Three new "As Topic" MeSH heading are available in 2020:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080503">Fictional Works as Topic</a><br />
Note that the corresponding publication type, <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D022922">Fictional Work</a>, is used for Cataloging only.</li>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000079223">Observational Studies, Veterinary as Topic</a></li>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080907">Single-Case Studies as Topic</a></li>
</ul>
<p>A total of ten preferred terms are changed for "as Topic" MeSH headings:</p>
<p>Four preferred terms for "as Topic" MeSH headings are changed. Their corresponding publication types are used for MEDLINE indexing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Autobiography as Topic to <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D001325">Autobiographies as Topic</a></li>

</li>
<li>Four new MeSH headings and one MeSH heading with a preferred term change are added as children to category Autophagy [G04.011]:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080549">Autophagic Cell Death</a>

<p>18,403 new SCRs for bacteria are available. A cross-divisional project was undertaken at NLM to insert these terms from the NCBI Taxonomy into the MeSH vocabulary.</p>
<a name="concept_merge"></a>
<h2>Two MeSH concepts merged into one:</h2>
<p>Cascara merged into <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D031955">Rhamnus</a>. Cascara is not retained as entry term. Cascara Sagrada and Sacred Bark are retained as entry terms to Rhamnus. Casanthranol is retained as entry term to <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D004642">Emodin</a>.
</p>
<p>Coniferophyta merged into <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D064028">Tracheophyta</a>. Coniferophyta is retained as an entry term.</p>
<p>Punicaceae merged into <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D029561">Lythraceae</a>. Punicaceae is retained as an entry term.</p>
<p>Taxodiaceae merged into <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D029779">Cupressaceae</a>. Taxodiaceae is retained as an entry term.</p>
<a name="confuse"></a>
<h2>Do Not Confuse:</h2>
<p><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D002363">Case Reports</a> with <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080907">Single-Case Studies as Topic</a>, which are trials that consider an individual patient as the sole unit of observation in a study investigating the efficacy or side-effects of different interventions to determine the optimal intervention for an individual patient using objective data-driven criteria. Also note that Single-Case Studies as Topic is used for indexing articles on the general design, methodology, <em>etc.</em> for Single Case Trials.</p>
<p><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000081010">Food Fussiness</a> with <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080146">Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder</a>, which is an eating or feeding disturbance that manifests as persistent failure to meet nutritional needs leading to low weight, nutritional deficiency, dependence on supplemental feedings, and/or psychosocial functioning.</p>
<p><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000074222">Rumination, Cognitive</a> with <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000079562">Rumination Syndrome</a>, which is a gastrointestinal disorder.</p>
<p><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D013315">Stress, Psychological</a> with
<a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000079225">Psychological Distress</a>, which is an negative emotional state characterized by physical and/or emotional discomfort, pain, or anguish.</p>
<p><a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000080842">Undiagnosed Diseases</a> with <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/record/ui?ui=D000081006">Missed Diagnosis</a>, which is a failure to identify or diagnose a medical condition at the time a health professional is acquainted with the symptoms.</p>
<p><strong>Other Changes</strong></p>
<p>In addition to changes and deletions of MeSH terms on MEDLINE citations, YEP includes other adjustments to reflect 2020 MeSH vocabulary and enhance search retrieval. These follow-on adjustments are largely to add additional MeSH headings or Supplementary Concept Record Names to citations in order to help searchers refine retrieval. In some cases, the changes clarify areas where a single concept existed before but is now represented by two or more specific concepts.
</p>
<a name="entry_combination"></a>
<h2>Entry Combination Revisions</h2>
<p>This year during YEP, NLM will again retrospectively replace certain MeSH heading/subheading combinations, known as Entry Combinations, with the new pre-coordinated MeSH heading. If you get no retrieval for a MeSH heading/subheading combination check the heading in the 2020 MeSH Browser to see if the Entry Combination information indicates a different term.
</p>
<p>There are four new Entry Combinations for 2020.
