Re: [HAPS-L] Disease/Syndrome names

I can rationalize part of that, Judith.

Google automatically truncates nouns to the singular or non-possessive.
Therefore, after correcting, the totals are

Net Parkinson = 2,150,000 - 1,630,000 = 520,000
Net Parkinson's = 1,630,000

Mesh I think always truncates but doesn't report both. Of course these are
very different data bases.
