Reference Librarian comments
I like how you "exploded" and "limited" and used subheadings
("physiology"), but I found myself wishing you had discovered a very
handy subheading for set #1, which is "prevention and control."
Anyway, I tried the search myself.1 : exp *hypertension/pc [Prevention and Control] {951}
2 : exp exercise/ {13374}
3 : 1 and 2 {39}
4 : limit 6 to (human and english language) {35}
