MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Double-layered inflatable suits which, when inflated, exert pressure on the lower part of the wearer's body.

The suits are also used by pilots under positive acceleration.
