Reference Librarian comments

This is good. I see what you were doing. I like to do my "limits"
last, but what you did is fine. When I saw how FEW you got on this
subject, I decided to play a little myself. I "exploded" the terms,
like you did. And I took ALL the subheadings, like you did. But I
decided to NOT check the "focus" box -- just to get more articles and
see what I'd get.

1 : 
exp Osteoporosis/
        {7201}
2 : 
exp Spinal cord injuries/
        {6207}
3 : 
1 and 2
        {41}
4 : 
limit 3 to (human and english language)
32

The other obvious way to get more articles would be to run the search
in the larger (1966-to-present) MEDLINE file.
