Yes. In Ovid CINAHL use the following strategy. Perform a search or combine searches. Then select the Limits icon located across the top tool bar on the Ovid main search screen. Scroll down the Limits screen to the Special Interest Category box for selections: Case Management, Critical Care, Dental Care, Home Health Care, Hospice, Sports Medicine, Social Work and more. In Ovid MEDLINE perform search. Select the Limits icon located across the top tool bar on the main search screen. There are two options. Select Subject Subsets such as Toxicology, Space Life Sciences and others. Select Journal Subsets for History of Medicine, Nursing Journals, Aids, Consumer Health, Dentistry.
