List of MeSH codes (N02)
A List of MeSH codes (N02) represents a section within the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus. MeSH is a comprehensive controlled vocabulary used for indexing and cataloging biomedical and health-related literature in databases like PubMed.
Specifically, codes beginning with "N02" refer to a subsection of the "N" category, which generally deals with "Health Care." Lists under N02 are dedicated to different types of lists used in the context of healthcare information. These lists are not anatomical structures or disease processes themselves, but rather groupings of terms related to a particular category or function within the broader healthcare field.
These lists might contain terms related to diagnostic criteria, risk factors, treatment options, or other relevant aspects of a specific disease or condition. They are used to provide a structured and organized way to access and retrieve relevant information from the biomedical literature. Researchers, clinicians, and librarians use these lists to ensure consistency and accuracy in indexing and searching for health information. The content of a particular "N02" list will depend on the specific topic it covers and its purpose within the MeSH hierarchy.
