2026, No.4, 1st June

News

Ovid Medline: global reload of 2026 Medical Subject Headings is complete

Implications for Ovid Medline saved searches

  • Check your personal saved searches on Ovid Medline and apply changes for the 2026 MeSH. Add new terms and replace changed or deleted terms with the more up-to-date terminology.
  • Check the Scope Note for each MeSH term carefully for the definition, year of entry and previous indexing terms.

Implications for searches in PubMed and The Cochrane Library

Changes to MeSH will also impact saved searches in PubMed and The Cochrane Library, since they both use the MeSH thesaurus. Search lines containing thesaurus terms in PubMed and The Cochrane Library must be checked and updated with the current version of MeSH.

Contact us for help adjusting your saved searches.

Some interesting new headings

Cognitive Enhancement Nursing Home Residents Semaglutide
Glycobiology Omphalocele Sex Differences

ARDC news: Research, data, and digital health developments

Developing a National AI Virtual Research Environment (VRE) Infrastructure for Healthcare Analytics

There is currently no nationally coordinated, secure and scalable AI-enabled virtual research environment (VRE) tailored to healthcare research needs. Without such infrastructure, the pace of AI-enabled health research is limited. This project is developing a national AI virtual research environment (VRE) providing researchers with secure, scalable access to advanced analytics and AI tools.

Standardising Australia's Hospital Data: The Move to OMOP for Better Health Outcomes

ARDC and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) are working to enable analysis of hospital data – specifically the Admitted Patient Care National Minimum Dataset – using the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP CDM).

Navigating the NHMRC and MRFF Open Science Policy with ARDC webinars

Join the ARDC for a webinar series to explore the NHMRC/MRFF Open Science Policy and its impact on the future of research in Australia. The series is designed to help researchers understand the NHMRC and MRFF Open Science Policy and what it means for research practice in Australia.

  • Part 1: Navigating AI and Research Training: This session provides a clear and practical introduction to the policy, outlining what researchers need to know and how it applies across the research lifecycle. Watch the video (55:33).
  • Part 2: Clinical Trials: The second session explores the specific impacts of open science requirements on clinical trials, including transparency obligations, data sharing considerations, and the role of governance in enabling ethical and effective secondary use of data. Watch the video (1:00:37).
  • Part 3: Persistent Identifier: The third session focuses on how persistent identifiers (PIDs), including tools like Research Activity Identifiers (RAiDs), can help researchers better manage, connect and showcase their work in line with expectations from NHMRC and MRFF. Watch the video (58:30).

EndNote Tip: Use one EndNote library per document, and use Groups to manage your projects

While a Word document can be linked to multiple EndNote libraries, it's best to use only one library per document.

Since you can only share a single EndNote library, it makes sense to use one library for everything. Use the Groups feature in EndNote to manage your citations for different projects or documents. Right click My Groups or use Groups from the main toolbar to create, rename, or delete groups.

See our tip Using Groups on the Library website for more information.

Ovid Embase reload complete

Inborn errors of immunity: definition, diagnosis, and management / edited by Nima Rezaei. 3rd ed. Springer, 2025
Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs), also known as primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are a group of inherited disorders, comprising defects in one or more components of the immune system. Awareness among clinicians about IEIs plays a key role in the early diagnosis of these disorders, in their optimal treatment and in patient outcomes. This volume, which is the 3rd edition of this text-book, covers all clinical aspects of more than 500 disorders in rapidly digestible format and provides physicians, particularly those involved with pediatrics, allergies and immunology, a book so they can use to quickly familiarize themselves with the field, and find appropriate information and solutions, in a short amount of time. This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect advances in knowledge and includes various IEIs not previously covered. For each disease, information is provided on definition, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. Every effort has been made to ensure that, throughout, the text is easy to read and readily comprehensible. The book will represent an ideal resource for specialists when engaging in diagnosis, clinical decision-making, and treatment planning. It will also prove invaluable for doctors in training and other physicians and nurses who wish to learn more about IEIs.

Patient involvement in health technology assessment / edited by Karen M. Facey, Anke-Peggy Holtorf, Ann N.V. Single. 2nd ed. Springer, 2026
This revised edition offers a comprehensive guide to involving patients in health technology assessment (HTA). Defining patient involvement as research into patient aspects (patients' experiences, preferences, perspectives, needs) and patient participation in HTA (individual HTAs, methods, processes, governance and policy) it includes detailed explanations of methodologies and approaches, as well as case studies. The book begins by introducing HTA and considering the ethics of patient involvement. It then defines the complementary strands of research and participation before providing chapters on key methods including: qualitative evidence synthesis, patient preference studies, ethnographic fieldwork, social media analysis using AI, natural language processing and deep learning, patient-led collaborative research to inform economic modelling, and evaluation of patient involvement. It concludes with carefully selected case studies highlighting specific approaches and considerations among HTA bodies on five continents, health technology developers and patient organisations.

Understanding diseases in skin of color / Inyang Ukot. Springer, 2025
This is a practical, case-based dermatology reference designed for non-dermatologists, primary care clinicians, trainees, and nursing professionals managing patients with darker skin tones. The book addresses a longstanding educational gap by presenting high-yield guidance on diagnosing and treating dermatologic conditions in skin of color, including infectious, inflammatory, papulosquamous, neoplastic, and systemic disorders. Structured around illustrated clinical cases, it combines visual recognition with concise discussions on pathophysiology, investigations, pharmacologic management, and chronic disease care. Multiple-choice self-assessment questions reinforce clinical learning and decision-making. Emphasizing early recognition and appropriate referral, the text aims to improve diagnostic confidence and reduce complications associated with delayed or inaccurate assessment in diverse patient populations. Its portable, accessible format makes it particularly useful for outpatient and community-based clinical practice.
