Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) The Medical Subject Headings comprise the US National Library of Medicine's (NLM) controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles, for cataloging books and other holdings, and for searching MeSH-indexed databases, including MEDLINE. MeSH terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts. MeSH organizes its descriptors in a hierarchical structure so that broad searches will find articles indexed more narrowly.

Traditional folk music of India Recordings of Baul, Fakir and Santal music are the heart of this site. These are folk traditions, centuries old but entirely outside the high literate ragamala tradition of North India. There is commentary and a certain amount of useful musicological material but the overwhelming strength of this site is the digital recordings of live performances. Each tradition gets a short introduction, with the page for that tradition arranged by important artists. Perhaps the best known of these non-classical performers are the Bauls, who wander all over Bengal and Bangladesh, and are the inheritors of a From New Humbul Resources on August 10, 2004 at 10:15 p.m..
