The CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases are designed to be searched using the Subjects or MeSH when possible.
Other databases (such as the Health Source: Nursing / Academic Edition [EBSCOhost]) have Subjects, too, but their Subjects may not be quite as systematic about assigning them accurately. They may have fewer Subjects that are applied to larger groups of records.
Maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, PubMed contains over 37 million records of content from MEDLINE, life sciences journals, preprints, and books. Over 5,000 biomedical journals are included. Some content back to 1781.
You can add the Filter for Age Group in CINAHL and PubMed MEDLINE to focus your search results to the publications matching the patient or research subject's relative age:

In addition to the health/medical-specific databases listed elsewhere on this guide, these databases can expand your search into auxiliary areas. The databases cover all topics. Some have additional special features for organizing your information.
Web of Science is a collection of databases that index the world's leading scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, as published in journals, conference proceedings, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions across the globe.
