NAME

Bio::Biblio::MedlineArticle - Representation of a MEDLINE article

SYNOPSIS

  $obj = new Bio::Biblio::MedlineArticle (-mesh_headings => ...);

  # how are Mesh terms stored:
  use Data::Dumper;
  print Data::Dumper->Dump ( [$obj->mesh_headings], ['MeshHeadings']);

  It produces (something like) this:
  'MeshHeadings' => [
	 { 'descriptorName' => 'Adult' },
         { 'descriptorName' => 'Cardiovascular Diseases',
           'subHeadings'    => [ { 'subHeading' => 'etiology' },
			         { 'majorTopic' => 'Y',
			           'subHeading' => 'mortality' } ] },
	 { 'descriptorName' => 'Child Development',
	   'subHeadings'    => [ { 'majorTopic' => 'Y',
				   'subHeading' => 'physiology' } ] },
	 { 'descriptorName' => 'Human' },
	]
