List of MeSH codes (D20)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

List of MeSH Codes (D20) refers to a comprehensive index of the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) within the D20 category, which is primarily focused on Complex Mixtures. MeSH is a hierarchical vocabulary used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to index articles for the PubMed database. It facilitates searching by assigning standardized terms to topics. The D20 category encompasses a variety of substances that are not easily classified under a single chemical name due to their complexity.

Overview[edit | edit source]

These substances are often used in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and material science. Understanding the specific MeSH codes within this category can significantly enhance the precision of literature searches related to complex mixtures.
