מגמות בעדכון של MeSH
מבין המלים שבחרתי אפשר להצביע על מספר מגמות מעניינות בעדכון לשנה זו:
התמחויות רופאים
תחת המונח Physicians הוכנסו מספר רב של התמחויות שלא היו קיימות קודם לכן.
חיסונים
נושא מתן חיסונים ובעיקר ההתנגדות לכך מקבלים ביטוי עם מונחים כמו V
accination Refusal ו -
Anti-
Vaccination Movement.
שעות עבודה ופנאי
העומס המאפיין את החיים המודרניים מקבל ביטוי עם הכנסת המונח
Work-Life Balance.
פעילות גופנית ואורח חיים בריא
מונחים רבים שהוכנסו קשורים לפעילות גופנית ואורח חיים בריא, כמו
Stair Climbing ,
Sports and Recreational Facilities ועוד.
מיקרוביום
מונחים רבים הקשורים לנושא הלוהט - המיקרוביום - ניתן לראות ברשימה, כמו פירוט רב יותר של חיידקי המיקרוביום, מזונות המבוססים על חלב מותסס (למשל קפיר), והמילה מיקרוביום בעצמה.
תזונה
בתחום התזונה ניתן לראות ביטוי למחקר הרב בנושא כמות הפחמימות בדיאטה עם המונח Diet, Carbohydrate Loading, הכנסת מונח מיוחד לתזונה בריאה, וכמובן - השוקולד!
מה המשמעות של הכנסת מונחים חדשים ל - MeSH
כל מונח שקיים ב-
MeSH, מאפשר לעשות חיפוש ממוקד במאגר על פי משמעותו של המונח ומאפיינים נוספים של החומר המבוקש (סוג המחקר, מונחים חותכים ועוד), זאת בניגוד לחיפוש על פי מלים שיש לעשות על מושגים שאינם מוגדרים ב - MeSH.
MeSH מתעדכן כאמור מדי שנה בחודש דצמבר, והעדכון משקף את השינויים והחידושים בתחומים אותם הוא מכסה. כך למשל בשנת 2015 נכנס ל - MeSH המונח
Diet, Paleolithic ובאופן די מפתיע נכנס המונח
Diet, Vegan רק בעדכון של 2016. קודם לכן נכלל המושג טבעונות תחת הגדרה רחבה של
צמחונות.
מכאן למשל עולה השאלה איך מבצעים חיפוש דרך MeSH על המונח טבעונות? איך מתייחסים למה שהיה עד 2015 ואיך מחפשים החל מ -2016? סרטון שפורסם על ידי מרכז ההדרכה של הספריה הלאומית לרפואה מסביר מה משמעות התאריכים המופיעים בערכים של MeSH וכיצד יש להתייחס אליהם בעת ביצוע חיפוש. לצפיה בסרטון

כאן בסרטון (עד דקה 20).
