Battered womenXFemale survivors of domestic abuse
The term "battered women" is discouraged by relevant charities e.g. https://www.zerotolerance.org.uk/resources/Language-Guide.pdf It might be appropriate to make this consistent with the existing "Adult Survivors of Child Abuse", and to either make it gender neutral or create an additional heading for men to acknowledge they can also be victims.

Intracranial Hypertension in Ocular Remission, Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension without Papilledema, Secondary Intracranial Hypertension
Intracranial Hypertension is a general term in MeSh that can be linked to multiple disease processes, which range from Hydrocephalus to Pseudotumor Cerebri. Pseudotumor Cerebri is a term which is clinically outdated and does not differentiate as to the how the disease process can present. In some patients, the increase of CSF pushes on the optic nerve, causing papilledema. In other patients, those with IIHWOP, they have radiological signs such as empty sella on their MRIs. Some patients continue to have elevated CSF pressure, which is identifiable through lumbar punctures, but no longer show optic nerve swelling during funduscopic examination. Furthermore, there is a term for Secondary Intracranial Hypotension but not for Secondary Intracranial Hypertension. Secondary Intracranial Hypertension is when there is a causative factor or reason as to why the CSF is elevated in a patient. Therefore, I think there are several headings that are missing that aren't represented thoroughly by the MeSH hierarchy.

Medicine, TraditionalX
Revise Annotation and entry terms. Annotation currently says "includes medicine among aborigines and other primitive cultures and folk medicine among non-primitive cultures; specify geographical term"

I don't understand why we have both Cannabis and Marijuana, they have non overlapping validation records associated with them; my suggestion would be to pick one (probably Cannabis) and make the other a UF
