MeSH terms (Medical Subject Headings)
Also called mesh
MeSH terms are PubMed's specific controlled vocabulary system, used to tag articles by standardised medical concepts rather than relying on keyword matching alone.
In context
You'll usually need this when searching PubMed and want to match a standardised medical concept rather than just a keyword.
