Energy Conservation (Fatigue Prevention)

Someone was asking about Energy Conservation with regard to a particular disease. By these words, she meant thinks like resting between physical activities, but of course the MeSH came out slightly different.

If you type energy conservation into the MeSH database, you will get Conservation of Energy Resources, referring to turning out the lights as you exit, shutting off a car rather than idling, etc... Interesting, but not the same topic!

It turns out that there are two MeSH available for what I was really wanting to search:
"Fatigue/prevention and control"[Mesh] OR "Energy Metabolism"[Mesh]

The same phenomenon occurs in CINAHL:
MH "Energy Conservation+" will bring up articles on turning out the lights.

The search you want is:
MH "Fatigue/PC+" OR MH "Energy Metabolism+" OR MH "Energy Conservation, Metabolic+"

Finding Advanced Search in New Google Scholar

Wondering where "Advanced Search" is on the new Google Scholar interface? It took me forever to find, but it is there! Click on the tiny arrowhead in the right-hand corner of the search field, and you'll have the option to click on Advanced Search. Whew! Glad it's not gone altogether.

No luck so far on creating a bookmark that goes directly to the new Advanced Search options - if I find a way to do that, I'll post again.

Low CO2

If someone asks for low CO2 or low PaCO2, the Mesh term to use is Hypocapnia (a deficiency of CO2 in arterial blood).

There also exists a corresponding term Hypercapnia, for an overabundance of CO2 in arterial blood. You probably wouldn't be using it in the same question, but it exists.

End-tidal CO2

If someone wants information about "End-tidal CO2", what MeSH should you use?

You will get some results with Carbon Dioxide, but the best MeSH is Capnography. Capnography is a Respiratory Function Test which measures the amount of CO2 in the air that the patient breathes out.

These two terms are also available in CINAHL.
