Interesting Things in MeSH 2014

Posted on by admin

This one is for the medlibs and me, some interesting changes in MeSH for 2014:

  • The concept (and term for) TEN has been absorbed into Stevens-Johnson Syndrome – makes some sense given the “spectrum of disease” aspect.
  • Drug Toxicity has been replaced by Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions, which is much more tedious to type from memory.
  • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome has been replaced by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.
  • Arachnidism has been changed to the much easier to remember Spider Bites. Tick Bites is new, too.
  • Hearing Impaired Persons has been changed to the more person-first Persons with Hearing Impairments.
  • Delusional Parasitosis has been added, but it’s been kept separate from (though in the same section as) Morgellons Disease.

Other selected new terms:

  • Human Trafficking
  • Slaves
  • Slavery
  • Prisoners of War
  • Organ Trafficking
  • Workplace Violence
  • Social Determinants of Health
  • Patient Harm
  • Preexisting Condition Coverage
  • Dandruff and Dander
  • Autografts
  • Hand Sanitizers, and Hand Transplantation
  • For nursing, we get Cardiovascular Nursing; Critical Care Nursing; Family Nurse Practitioners; Home Health Nursing; Hospice and Palliative Care Nursing; Nephrology Nursing; Nurses, Community Health; Nurses, International; Nurses, Public Health; Parish Nursing; Pediatric Nurse Practitioners; Rural Nursing
  • Visual Analog Scale
  • Triple Negative Breast Neoplasms
  • Medical Marijuana
  • And finally, Mobile Applications. 🙂

Predators and “Care” While the media and many non-profits address the issue of  rape and sexual harassment in the military, few expand their discussion  to include  how the “VA Crisis” is perhaps part and parcel of the same profoundly unfriendly friendly fire. Just as there is an inherent conflict of interest in adjudicating rape through the Chain of Command, so too the expectation that the VA is going to fix itself is bogus. The delays in getting benefits, the difficulty veterans have in getting copies of their own charts, and the documented mismanagement and crime in the system all contribute to the secondary...
