Non-malignant disease of an organ

AND the terms below with terms for the organ of interest:

(disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)

Consider ORing in names for the organ-specific conditions.  i.e.

(((organ_term_1 OR organ_term_2 ... OR organ_term_x) AND (disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)) OR organ_specific_disease_name_1 OR organ_specific_disease_name_2 OR ... organ_specific_disease_name_x)

Use of a proximity operator is preferable to using AND when proxomity searching is available:

(((organ_term_1 OR organ_term_2 ... OR organ_term_x) NEAR/3 (disease* OR condition* OR disorder* OR pathol* OR syndrom* OR abnormal* OR disturb* OR dysfunction* OR hypofunction* OR function* OR insufficien* OR injur* OR damag* OR failur* OR ischem* OR ischaem* OR necro* OR inflam* OR infect*  OR abscess* OR sclero* OR fibro* OR agenesis OR dysgenesis OR anomal* OR atroph* OR hypotroph* OR aplas* OR dysplas* OR metaplas*  OR malform* OR deform* OR degenerat* OR cyst* OR edema* OR oedema* OR swelling OR effusion* OR torsion* OR stenos* OR stenotic OR obstruct* OR occlusi* OR ulcer* OR toxicity)) OR organ_specific_disease_name_1 OR organ_specific_disease_name_2 OR ... organ_specific_disease_name_x)

surface wrinkling retinopathy -- keywords and MeSH

Based on several opthalmologists websites, the keywords in the following search statement appear to be synonyms.   "Epiretinal Membrane"[mesh] is not the only subject heading that has been used for this condition but is the most specific.

"Epiretinal Membrane"[Mesh] OR "epiretinal membrane" OR "surface wrinkling retinopathy" OR "cellophane retinopathy"[tiab] OR "internal limiting membrane disease"[tiab] OR "macular pucker"

Cotard Syndrome -- keywords

The following is an initial stab at this search. Another synonym for the condition is "Walking corpse syndrome." Unfortunatley, "walking corpse" isn't handled as a phrase by PubMed and (walking AND corpse) produces a group of irrelevant results.

cotard*[tiab] OR "delire des negations" OR "delire de negation" OR "delusion of negation" OR "delusions of negation" OR "nihilistic delusion" OR "nihilistic delusions" OR "delusions of nihilism"

adjunct condition/s:
"odysseus syndrome"[tiab] OR "nihilism by proxy"
