# Medical Xpress

> Medical Xpress is a daily medical research and health news portal covering neuroscience, cardiology, cancer, psychology & psychiatry, genetics, diseases & conditions, and medications, published by Science X.

Medical Xpress sources stories from staff-written features, peer-reviewed journals, licensed news-agency content, and editor-selected press releases from universities, hospitals, and research institutions, plus closely vetted preprint/conference findings. Articles go through fact-checking and at least two editors' independent review before publication. See Editorial Process below for full detail.

## Content Organization

Articles are organized along several overlapping taxonomies rather than a single category tree:

- **Specialties**: Clinical-practice areas such as Clinical genetics, Infectious diseases, Laboratory medicine, Nephrology, Neurology, Obstetrics & gynecology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Pulmonary medicine, Rheumatology, Dentistry, and more.
- **User-focused well-being topics**: Reader-oriented living and prevention themes such as Psychology & Mental health, Healthy aging, Nutrition & Healthy eating, Weight management, Fitness & Physical activity, Sleep & Recovery, Women's health, Men's health, and Children's health — see [Health Living](https://medicalxpress.com/healthy-living-news/)
- **UMLS Metathesaurus**: Articles are tagged to standardized biomedical concepts from the Unified Medical Language System's Metathesaurus, browsable by semantic type — e.g. [Concepts Index](https://medicalxpress.com/concepts/)
- **MeSH medical topics**: Articles are additionally organized by the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) hierarchical tree (Anatomy, Organisms, Diseases, Psychiatry and Psychology, Phenomena and Processes, Disciplines and Occupations) — see [Browse MeSH Tree](https://medicalxpress.com/mesh/)
