What is a medical masterpiece?

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

Especially in China, the medical masterpieces left from hundreds of years or even thousands of years ago constitute today's traditional Chinese medicine system, such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" and so on. 、

The history of traditional Chinese medicine has thousands of years, so there are so many medical masterpieces, of course, in modern China, there are also medical masterpieces such as "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", which includes all Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and can be called the culmination of medical masterpieces.

Of course, for Western medicine, which has only officially risen for hundreds of years and formed a systematic research system, although there are no complete books like "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", which have been circulated for a long time, they have also left a lot of medical masterpieces, such as "Xi's Internal Medicine", "Gera's Anatomy" and so on.

Medicine is a kind of empirical science, and these medical masterpieces are also obtained by integrating various experiences in medicine.

All readers will be able to learn from the experience left behind in these great works.

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

He has read a lot of these great works on Western medicine, such as "Western Internal Medicine" and "Format Anatomical Medicine", I don't know how many times.

The content of each page of these famous books is accumulated through I don't know how many clinical trials, and medical people like him have to be amazed.

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

"Just by measuring blood pressure and blood viscosity coefficients, can I detect where atherosclerotic ...... is present?"

Davis looked at it a little dumbfounded, and when he saw this, he actually didn't believe it in his heart.

Detecting atherosclerosis requires a variety of instruments.

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

However, whether he believes it or not, the case given in the next paper has to make him believe it.

Li Mu gave several practical cases to verify his conclusions.

The reason why his paper is so long is precisely because he gives a case for each conclusion to support it, so it has more than 400 pages of content.

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

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

旁边刚刚表示“不认识，不熟”的布莱克，终于抽出时间，转过头看了一眼，然后就见到戴维斯仿佛看入迷了的样子，顿时就愣住了。

"Huh? Davis, more than 400 pages of paper, can you really read it? ”

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

Blake was curious.

如果戴维斯一脸厌嫌的话，他或许瞅都不会瞅一眼，但是现在这个样子的话……

So, too, he leaned in and looked at it.

As a result, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

This paper is writing something very new......

How many problems can be detected with just two simple metrics?

Really?

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

And just like that, time passed slowly.

The act of the two of them huddling around to read a paper also caught the attention of the other editors around them.

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

Someone waved his hand and asked, but neither of them responded, so it aroused the curiosity of another person.

Eventually, as if a chain reaction had been formed, more and more people came to the scene.

Nearly half of the editors in this editorial department surrounded them, and the rest of the editors who did not surround them were because they did not have a place to watch.

"Houli Crab, so that the location of the hemangioma can be determined?"

“unbelievable！”

"It's incredible!"

"It's fake......

The surprises that came out from time to time also made everyone present sigh with emotion.

And that's it, until the end.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing! Have all the manuscripts been reviewed? ”

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

However, the editors who surrounded each other did not look back, and they did not move a little.

Editor-in-chief Richard was stunned, these guys, could it be that they forgot his voice?

He turned his head to a puzzled editor who hadn't gathered around the door, and asked, "Ruhl, what are they doing?" ”

Ruhl shrugged: "They found a ...... Probably a paper that can set off an earthquake in the medical community. ”

Richard was stunned.

"What? What can set off an earthquake in the medical community? ”

Ruhl thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm...... PROBABLY, THE STATUS OF THIS PAPER IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO THE "MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF NUCLEIC ACIDS" IN BIOLOGY, RIGHT? ”

Richard fell silent.

Of course, he knew about the paper that Ruhl said, because it was the paper that went down in history in the entire biological community, the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, and the authors were Watson and Clark.

Are they sure 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, "Why didn't you go to see it?" ”

Hearing this, Ruhl suddenly said angrily: "I was squeezed out by them, those hateful fellows! ”

"I'm going to have to kick Uncle Mack's boots hard in their ass!"

Richard: "......"

Well, even Ruhl said so, and he had to be 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 walked up as well, and then tapped the shoulder of the outermost editor.

"Please give me a look."

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

The editor frowned, turned his head and said angrily, patting the hand off his shoulder.

However, when he saw clearly who the person who patted him was, he was stunned, "Oh yes! Editor-in-Chief......

"I'm not a Karma." Richard said angrily, then waved his hand and said, "Now you can let it, right?" ”

The editor quickly moved out of the way, and then wiped the sweat from his face by the way.

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

Until finally, Richard took Davis's place and looked at the paper.

"Hydrodynamic analysis of vascular disease ......?"

When he saw this title, Richard was also a little stunned.

Isn't fluid mechanics physics?

Of course, he didn't have too much doubt, so he looked directly at the text.

And it didn't take long for him to understand why the editors were so excited.

His eyes widened as he looked at the analytical methods revealed in this paper, and he was amazed at every result that came out.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is also a doctor himself, and what he sees now happens to match one of the patients he is meeting now.

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

However, when they first examined the patient's condition, it took a lot of effort, how could it be as simple as the method mentioned in this paper?

Barely looking at it, he said to Davis, "Send me this paper." ”

Davis nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" ”

Then Richard left the position, and at the same time did not forget to say to the other editors: "Okay, let's get on with your work for now, it's working time, I want to read this paper, and I'll talk about it after work." ”

The other editors were helpless, but they couldn't help it, and the editor-in-chief always had to listen to what the editor-in-chief said, so they had to go back to their seats and continue 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 community.

……

The next day, as the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard invited many well-known medical scientists to discuss each part of the paper, which can be regarded as a peer review of the paper, but this time there were more peer reviewers.

There are more than 20 experts, involving all aspects of the experts.

After all, different specialties are required for different vascular diseases.

From interventional surgery experts, to medical disease experts, to hematology experts......

The impact of this paper, even before it has been officially published, has already involved so many aspects.

And all the experts who were invited to review this paper, after reading it, had to be extremely amazed, and they all made evaluations-

This is bound to be a game-changer in the medical world.

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

Subsequently, the entire medical community really shook.
