抑肽酶在冠脉搭桥术中的应用及死亡风险
ABSTRACT
摘要
Background Aprotinin (Trasylol) is used to mitigate bleeding during
coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG). Accumulating evidence
suggests that this practice increases mortality.
背景:抑肽酶(特斯乐)被用于冠脉搭桥术中以减少出血。越来越多的证据显示这一治疗方式增加死亡率。

to expect that vaccination would also reduce the risks of
influenza-related complications in recipients.
可是,也有相反的情况出现,在一段时间内,冬天里的流感住

Like a celestial chaperon, the placebo leads us through the
uncharted passageways of mind and gives us a greater sense of
infinity than if we were to spend all our days with our eyes

unprompted by little pills. The placebo is only a tangible object
made essential in an age that feels uncomfortable with intangibles,
an age that prefers to think that every inner effect must have an
