This is an amazing example! Brain CT. Never thought of this :) Thank you
Jean. May I have permission to share this in classes I teach, telling them
that I have got this from you via the medlib list?

One example that I use while teaching is if someone searches the single
word CIRRHOSIS, it maps to fibrosis as a mesh term. In case they expect it
to map tp liver cirrhosis, then they are mistaken. Of course, this is a
good example while teaching mesh, but not as direct as Brain CT :)

Another example I give is that if you search for Asthma and COPD, while you
may get relevant results you also get some like this:

Small airways diseases, *excluding* asthma and COPD: an overview.
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23728867>

PMID: 23728867


If either of the above two is good for you, do use them Jean
