As the top journal in the medical field, each issue of The Lancet can attract the attention of all doctors around the world.

Sometimes some of the clinical methods shared above may be able to help a certain operation in a certain hospital go smoothly.

But now, "The Lancet" actually released a special issue alone, which naturally attracted more attention from the academic circle.

What is the content that actually makes the Lancet publish a separate issue of the journal?

Then, when the doctors and medical scientists who subscribed to this issue of the journal received the journal, they opened the catalog and were stunned.

A special issue with hundreds of pages, but only one paper?

Although there are many directories, they are nothing more than subsections in this paper.

Then, just after these doctors turned to the first page and began to look at it with doubts, they were addicted to it just like the editors of "The Lancet" back then.

After they came back to their senses, the only thing left in their hearts was shock.

The contents of this paper made all of them feel incredible.

They seem to have seen this paper, into the core content of diagnostics.

And diagnostics is a subject that any clinical practitioner must master!

At this time, they will recall the author of this paper.

Li Mu!

...

Premed 101, an internationally renowned medical student forum, is roughly equivalent to the Lilac Garden in Huaguo, allowing medical students and doctors to discuss.

At this time, there was a post on this website, which aroused many discussions.

[The Lancet's latest special issue paper, "On the Role of Fluid Dynamics Analysis in the Judgment of Vascular Diseases", have you read it? I am a graduate student in medical school, should I study hard for this thesis? 】

The landlord posted a question.

And the following replies have already passed, hundreds of them.

[Look, it's better to take a look. I'm about to enter Columbia University School of Medicine. My teacher suddenly emailed me yesterday, asking me to preview this paper. According to him, this paper may be useful Our branch has great significance, oh, I forgot to mention, I am in the cardiovascular department. 】

[This paper... I don't want to talk about other things, I just want to say, why can a physicist and a mathematician still write this kind of paper? 】

[Don't forget, he is still a "mathematical biomedical scientist". In this paper, he has brought his data analysis methods to the extreme. It is hard to believe that all his judgments come from The result of his data analysis! 】

[I suggest you take a look, believe me, for so long, diagnostics can only rely on better technology to improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, but it has been a long time since there has been such an improvement through pure theory I am afraid that every medical student will have to study this paper in the future. At least many hospitals in Montreal where I work have begun to promote the methods mentioned in this paper. 】

Among the many comments suggesting that the host should study this paper, there are of course some opponents.

[In other words, do you really think this paper is useful? So many complicated illnesses, can it be judged so simply? Anyway, I would not believe it. Once this paper leads to a misjudgment, it will probably delay the best time to save patients! 】

[Any diagnosis may cause misjudgment, and you cannot deny that the method proposed in this paper is indeed useful. 】

[Whatever you want to say, since there are CT, B-ultrasound, and MRI to use, why use this kind of thing? 】

[It takes time to use these things! In case of an unexpected situation during the operation, can't we use this method to make a quick judgment? 】

[What if the judgment fails? Can't the patient be saved? 】

【If you don’t judge, the patient can’t be saved】

【…】

A quarrel started, and for a while, netizens with different opinions joined in the debate.

Of course, for any new medical method, at the beginning, there will always be various doubts.

Therefore, for the entire medical community, although Li Mu's paper has brought enormous influence, in the end, it still depends on whether it can really help in application.

...

United States, Mayo Clinic.

The Mayo Clinic is well-known among all the hospitals in the world, because this hospital has been ranked first in the list of global hospitals for many years.

It can be said that if this hospital says it cannot be saved, then it cannot be saved for most other hospitals.

"Dr. Layton, why did you come to the hospital today?"

At the door of the cardiac surgery department, a doctor in a white coat walked in, and the nurses inside all greeted the doctor.

Jason Layton, that's the doctor's name, is also one of the best doctors in their cardiac surgery.

Because, as the chief surgeon, he had completed several heart bypass operations, all of which were successful.

Be aware that heart bypass surgery is considered one of the most difficult of all surgeries.

After all, it's the heart that moves.

In addition to heart bypass surgery, he also performed heart transplant surgery, which is also one of the most difficult surgeries.

Doctors who can perform one of these operations are the mainstay doctors in the heart surgery department of any hospital, let alone those who can perform both operations.

Therefore, even in the Mayo Clinic, Jason Layton has a very high status.

Hearing the greetings from these beautiful nurses, Jason Layton smiled and greeted back a few times: "There will be a heart transplant operation later, so come here."

Hearing his answer, the nurses all "wow".

"Are you going to have a heart transplant again? You really deserve to be Dr. Layton!"

Jason Layton waved his hand, then turned and entered his office.

Sitting in the office, as well as his colleague Hogarth, saw Jason Layton walking in, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are the one to perform the operation."

Jason Layton nodded, and while making a cup of coffee on the coffee machine next to him, he said, "I'm the only one who can be the chief surgeon today."

"Okay." Hogarth shook his head slightly, and then asked again: "I heard that the patient is a director of Boeing?"

"Yes."

Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Jason Layton replied: "I'm in my sixties, and my physical condition is not bad, but there are still bad things."

Hoggs smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal to you if you think about it?"

Jason Layton laughed, and then said confidently, "Probably."

Suddenly he noticed that Hogarth was looking at something, looking at the cover... It seemed to be "The Lancet"?

He walked over and asked, "Is there the latest issue of The Lancet? Are there any interesting results on it?"

Hogarth said: "It's the special issue, you should know."

Jason Layton was taken aback, then nodded with a smile: "Of course I have read that paper, but what does it mean to us? Which of the instruments in our operating room is not more useful than that paper?"

"What's more, don't forget that we want to serve those rich people. Of course, we must serve the best."

"That's not necessarily true." Hoggs shook his head: "What if you encounter symptoms suspected of pulmonary embolism during the heart transplant? Maybe you may miss the best time to rescue."

Hearing this question, Jason Layton was silent for a moment.

Pulmonary embolism during heart transplantation?

This is indeed a very deadly possibility.

At this time, all responses must be rapid, otherwise, the patient will definitely be on the operating table.

After a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the paper. After all, I'm about to start surgery soon. What if it happens to me?"

Hoggs smiled, and then handed the special watch in his hand to Layton, "Look, anyway, my operation today is about to start, and now I have to make preparations."

"Good luck."

After receiving the journal, Layton followed up. \u0001

"I'll borrow your good words."

Afterwards, Hogars left the office, while Layton read the special issue in his hand.

"Judging whether there is a problem with the hematopoietic system... blood pressure, blood viscosity... blood flow rate..."

"To determine whether there is an aortic aneurysm..."

...

After more than an hour.

In the operating room.

"Dr. Layton, here is the patient's cardiac CT and color Doppler ultrasound."

The assistant next to him handed the two pictures to Layton.

Layton took the two pictures, squinted his eyes and looked at them, "The situation is pretty good. If there is no hidden situation, the operation should go smoothly."

Hearing what Dr. Layton said, the assistant next to him couldn't help showing admiration.

The condition of this heart is simply terrible.

The patient's heart has entered end-stage heart failure, and only a heart transplant can restore it.

But at this moment, Layton suddenly remembered the paper he had just read temporarily, and said, "Show me the results of the blood biochemical test."

"Blood Biochemistry...Okay, please wait a moment!"

Before heart transplantation, many examinations are required, including blood biochemical tests.

Not long after, a copy of the test results was handed over to Layton.

Layton looked up, however, at this look, his brows frowned.

"Wait, did the patient get checked for an aneurysm?"

The assistant was taken aback: "Aneurysm?"

"The patient has already had a B-ultrasound, and there should be no aneurysm."

Layton's brows were still furrowed.

Because judging from the various indexes of this blood biochemical test and comparing the data given in Li Mu's paper, he seriously suspected that this patient had an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

And if the tumor is not corrected, the patient will not be eligible for a heart transplant.

This is a taboo for heart transplantation!

Generally speaking, abdominal aortic aneurysm is relatively easy to find, but if it is B-ultrasound examination, it will also be missed.

But it is also possible that there is a problem with Li Mu's thesis?

He thought for a while, and finally said: "Do another abdominal CT for the patient."

"OK."

Although the assistant was puzzled, he still followed suit.

It didn't take long for the results to come out.

The assistant ran over with the result, his face was full of shock.

"Doctor Layton, the patient really has an abdominal aortic aneurysm! It seems to have grown recently!"

Layton suddenly exhaled a long breath.

That paper saved the operation!

"I see. The abdominal aortic aneurysm is corrected first, and then the heart transplant is performed. Don't take out the donor heart for now to avoid inactivation."

"yes!"
