These searches were carried out using the Ovid implementation of Medline. A * before a search term indicates that that term was focused - i.e. limited to records where the term was a major MeSH term. "exp" before a term indicates that the term was exploded. A / after a term indicates that all subheadings were selected. A $ at the end of a term indicates that this term has been truncated.
