December 15, 2015 [posted]

As of December 15, PubMed/MEDLINE citations (including the backlog of citations indexed since November 18 with 2016 MeSH), the MeSH database, and the NLM Catalog were updated to reflect 2016 MeSH. The MeSH translation tables were also updated on December 15. Now that end-of-year activities are complete, MEDLINE/PubMed may be searched using 2016 MeSH vocabulary. See MEDLINE Data Changes — 2016 for details on the data changes. On December 16, NLM will resume daily MEDLINE updates to PubMed.
