What is a medical masterpiece?

There are many medical masterpieces in history, which form the basis of modern medicine. \b

Especially in China, medical masterpieces from hundreds or even thousands of years ago constitute the current system of traditional Chinese medicine, such as "Huangdi Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" and so on. ,

Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years, so there are so many medical masterpieces left behind. Of course, in modern China, there are also medical masterpieces such as "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which includes both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. He is the master of medical masterpieces.

Of course, for Western medicine, which has only officially emerged for a few hundred years and formed a systematic research system, although there are no complete books that have been handed down for a long time like "Huangdi Neijing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", they have left a lot of medical knowledge. Famous works, such as "West's Internal Medicine", "Grignard's Anatomy" and so on.

Medicine is an empirical science, and these medical masterpieces are all obtained by integrating various medical experiences.

All readers can learn relevant knowledge from the experience left in these great works.

As the editor of The Lancet, Davis is of course very professional.

He has read many of these masterpieces of Western medicine, such as "West's Internal Medicine" and "Format Anatomy Medicine" countless times. \b

The contents of each page of these masterpieces are accumulated from an unknown number of clinical trials, and even a medical professional like him can't help but marvel at them.

And now, this thesis has once again brought him such an experience.

"Only by measuring the blood pressure and the viscosity coefficient of the blood, can it detect where atherosclerosis exists...?"

Davis stared blankly. When he saw this, he actually didn't believe it.

Detecting the site of atherosclerosis requires the use of various instruments.

For example, B-ultrasound, CT, CTA angiography, etc., how can it be judged so simply?

However, whether he believed it or not, the case given in the following paper had to convince him.

Li Mu gave several actual cases to verify his conclusion.

The reason why his paper is so long is precisely because he gave a case for each conclusion as evidence, so there are more than 400 pages of content.

In this way, Davis looked at it, and his heart became more and more shocked.

If the cases given by Li Mu are not special cases, and his conclusions can be adapted to most medical records, then this paper may...

Blake, who just said "I don't know, I'm not familiar with", finally took the time to turn his head to take a look, and then saw Davis who seemed to be fascinated by it, and was immediately stunned.

"Eh? Davis, you can really read the 400-page paper?"

However, Davis did not respond to his question, still staring at the paper on the monitor.

Blake became curious.

If Davis looked disgusted, he might not even glance at it, but in this way...

Ever since, he also leaned over and looked up.

As a result, he couldn't take his eyes away after seeing it.

This paper is writing a very new thing...

So many problems can be detected with just two simple indicators?

real or fake?

Of course, as they continue to look back, they will know that there are not only the two indicators of blood pressure and blood viscosity coefficient. As they look back, there are also more indicators. However, blood pressure and viscosity coefficient are still very critical. After all, in the analysis of fluid mechanics, these two indicators represent two more important quantities in the equation.

In this way, time passed slowly.

The act of the two of them sitting together to read a paper also attracted the attention of other editors around them.

"Hey, Davis, Blake, what are you looking at?"

Someone waved and asked, but neither of them responded, so another person's curiosity was aroused.

Until the end, as if a chain reaction had been formed, more and more people joined in.

Nearly half of the editors in the editorial department surrounded it, and the rest of the editors who did not surround it were because there was no place for them to watch.

"Great gift Xie Te, so that we can determine the location of the hemangioma?"

"unbelievable!"

"It's just incredible!"

"This is fake..."

The sounds of surprise that came out from time to time also made everyone present sigh with emotion.

That's it, until the end.

"Hey hey, what are you doing! Have you finished reviewing all the manuscripts?"

Suddenly, a serious voice came, and the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard Charles Horton, appeared at the door of the office.

However, none of the surrounding editors looked back, and they didn't make a move.

Editor-in-Chief Richard was taken aback. Did these guys forget his voice?

He turned his head, cast doubtful eyes on an editor near the door who hadn't surrounded him, and asked, "Ruhr, what are they doing?"

Ruhl shrugged: "They found a paper that... probably could set off an earthquake in the medical world."

Richard was taken aback for a moment.

"What? What paper could set off an earthquake in the medical world?"

After thinking for a while, Ruhr replied, "Well... probably, the status of this paper in the medical field in the future will be equivalent to "MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF NUCLEIC AIDS" in biology?"

Richard fell silent.

Of course he knew about the paper that Ruhr mentioned, because it was the paper that was famous in the entire biological world, the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, and the authors were Watson and Clark.

Are they sure that the paper they saw was so shocking?

Equivalent to the DNA double helix structure of biology?

Doesn't that mean that this paper is equivalent to a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?

But then, Richard came back to his senses, and asked, "Then why didn't you look at it?"

Hearing this question, Luton said angrily: "I was squeezed out by them, those hateful guys!"

"I'm going to kick their asses hard with my Uncle Mike's boots!"

Richard: "..."

Well, even Ruhr said that, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

In any case, they are "The Lancet", the top journal in the medical field, and the editors who can work in this journal are very good.

And this paper was able to attract the attention of so many excellent editors...

His editor-in-chief also walked up, and then nodded the shoulder of the editor in the outermost circle.

"Please step aside and let me have a look."

"Don't touch me, line up if you can't see it."

The editor frowned immediately, turned his head and said angrily, and patted the hand on the shoulder away at the same time.

However, when he saw clearly who was taking pictures of him, he was stunned, "Oh shit! Editor-in-chief..."

"I'm not from Karma." Richard said angrily, then waved his hands and said, "Now can you give in?"

The editor quickly stepped aside, and wiped the sweat off his face by the way.

Of course, the other editors inside also found that their editor-in-chief had come, and gave up their positions to Richard one after another.

Until the end, Richard took Davis's seat and read the paper.

"Analysis of Vascular Diseases by Fluid Mechanics...?"

When seeing this title, Richard was also a little dazed.

Isn't fluid mechanics a physics aspect?

Of course, he was not too confused, so he read the text directly.

After a while, he understood why these editors were so excited.

He stared wide-eyed, looking at the analysis method revealed in this paper, and every result of the analysis made him extremely surprised.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is also a doctor himself, and what he sees now coincides with a patient he is meeting now.

The patient's condition is almost in line with the conclusions given in this paper!

However, when they first checked the patient's condition, they still spent a lot of effort. How could it be as simple as the method mentioned in this paper?

In this way, without much attention, he said to Davis: "Send me this paper."

Davis nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Then Richard left this position, and at the same time, he did not forget to say to the other editors: "Okay, let's continue your work first. It's working time now. If you want to read this paper, you can talk about it after get off work."

The other editors were helpless, but they had no choice. The editor-in-chief always listened to what he had to say, so they could only return to their seats and continue to do their work.

However, Richard's reaction just now also let them know in their hearts that this paper will probably really set off an earthquake in the entire medical world.

...

The next day, Richard, as the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, invited many well-known medical scientists to discuss each part of this paper. This is also a peer review of this paper. However, there are more peer review experts invited this time.

There are more than 20 people, involving experts from all aspects.

After all, different vascular diseases require different specialties.

From experts in interventional surgery, to experts in internal medicine, to hematologists...

The influence brought by this paper, even if it has not been officially announced, has already involved such various aspects.

And all the experts who were invited to review this paper, after reading it, had to give birth to incomparable amazement, and all made comments——

This is bound to be a paper that can change the pattern of the medical field.

For this paper, as the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard has been busy for more than a month, and finally, in the new year, in February, this paper of more than 400 pages was bound into a volume separately Yes, it was published in a special issue.

Then, the entire medical world was really shaken.
