abstract will include citations where EITHER term may appear; use this Boolean Operator when combining synonyms or similar terms; expands search
exploding view tree to see if you SHOULD NOT explode since PubMed explodes ______________
secondary this retrieves the most general MeSH term in addition to more specific MeSH terms that are indexed under it; ALWAYS view MeSH tree to see if you should do this
keywords __________ concepts can't be indexed precisely; used keywords for these subjects
textword $ is used for ___________ terms in a keyword search
twoterms ____ stands for medical subject headings; allow one to search by SUBJECT rather than relying on specific word; provides consistent way of retrieving information that uses different terms for the same CONCEPT

drugs this means that articles with no exact match are indexed to the closest related MeSH term
Medline MEDLINE ____________ allows one to limit search by various areas of interest; use carefully since may exclude some relevant citations; most useful when there's a great deal of information on topic
MeSH this is a major medical database that's produced by the NLM; contains citations from approximately 5000 biomedical journals published in the US and in 70 other countries; contains well over 18 million citations dating back to 1950; available at MCPHS thru: OvidSP Medline (very expensive), PubMed Medline (free); most appropriate for novice searchers and uses FindIt@MCPHS
