Interesting Things in MeSH 2014
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 Drug Toxicity has been replaced by Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions, which is much more tedious to type from memory. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome has been replaced by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.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:
