Reference Librarian comments

Good job on the Medline/Noonan search. You "exploded" the MeSH term.
You "focussed" the MeSH term. You discovered the "LIMITS" business.

I like to play with these searches, so I did yours on the bigger
MEDLINE (1966 to present). It is not necessarily a "better" search,
but it takes a one-shot/one-set approach...

Medline 1966 to February 1999
