edituidcan be any of the following different types of MeSH identifiers:- One type is a traditional uid, which should be an 8 digit number. Example:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68011014is Pneumonia. If you want to find this identifier for a certain item and your URL does not end in an 8-digit-number string, click on a different item in the categories tree on the page and then navigate back to your original page by clicking on it on the categories tree to arrive at a URL containing the proper string. Alternatively, in the "Related information" box on the right, click on "dbGaP Links" or "MedGen" and find the uid from the resulting URL. - Another is the MeSH Unique ID, which can be a "D" or "A" followed by six numbers.
