Friends:

When Marj Cahn from the National Library of Medicine announced that the 
2003 subject headings were available today in an email and that there 
were quite a few new public health headings added, I went through and 
pulled most of them out. (Thank you Marj!) The National Library of 
Medicine uses a "controlled vocabulary" called MeSH (Medical Subject 
Headings) to index the articles they add to the Medline database.

Here are some of the terms I came across. You might wish to consider 
using them when you search for information using PubMed 
http://pubmed.gov/ if appropriate.

Click on the link to get the Scope Note (definition) of the term.

Additional subject headings added this year can be found at:

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "  Alvin Toffler
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." James Michener
