List of MeSH codes (G08)

List of MeSH codes (G08) refers to a comprehensive categorization within the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) system, specifically focusing on the section designated as G08. MeSH is a large controlled vocabulary used for indexing journal articles and books in the life sciences; it serves as a thesaurus that facilitates searching. The G08 category encompasses terms related to the reproductive and urinary physiological phenomena, covering a wide range of topics from the basic aspects of reproductive and urinary biology to more complex physiological processes.

Overview

The MeSH system is organized into a tree structure, where broader categories are divided into more specific subcategories. The G08 category is part of the larger G category, which focuses on Physiological Phenomena. Within G08, the codes are further subdivided to cover various aspects of reproductive and urinary physiology, including but not limited to, reproductive and urinary system development, physiology, and abnormalities.

List of MeSH Codes (G08)

The following is a non-exhaustive list of MeSH codes under the G08 category, highlighting some of the key areas of interest:

• G08.686 - Pregnancy
• G08.686.785 - Labor, Obstetric
• G08.686.785.760 - Delivery, Obstetric
• G08.686.785.760.769 - Cesarean Section
• G08.686.785.760.769.530 - Episiotomy
• G08.686.785.760.769.530.500 - Fetal Monitoring
• G08.686.785.760.769.530.500.500 - Ultrasonography, Prenatal

This list represents only a fraction of the G08 category, which contains numerous other codes each corresponding to specific topics within the field of reproductive and urinary physiological phenomena.

Importance

Understanding and utilizing the MeSH codes, especially within the G08 category, is crucial for researchers, librarians, and healthcare professionals. These codes enable precise and efficient searching of scientific literature and databases, ensuring that users can find relevant information on specific aspects of reproductive and urinary physiology. This is particularly important in fields such as obstetrics, gynecology, urology, and nephrology, where up-to-date and accurate information is essential for patient care, research, and education.
