What is a medical masterpiece?
There are many medical masterpieces in history, which form the basis of modern medicine.
Especially in China, the great medical works left over from hundreds or even thousands of years ago form the current TCM system, such as the Huangdi Neijing, Compendium of Materia Medica, Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, etc. ,
Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years, so it has left behind so many medical masterpieces. Of course, in modern China, there are also medical masterpieces such as "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual", which includes both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which can be called It 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 circulated for a long time like the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", it has also left a lot of medical knowledge. Famous books, such as "Western Internal Medicine", "Georgi's Anatomy" and so on.
Medicine is an empirical science, and these medical masterpieces are obtained by integrating various medical experiences.
All readers can learn relevant knowledge from the experiences left in these masterpieces.
As the editor of The Lancet, Davis is certainly very professional.
He has read many of these masterpieces on Western medicine, such as "Western Internal Medicine" and "Format Anatomy Medicine" countless times.
The contents of every page of these masterpieces are accumulated through countless clinical trials, which even medical people like him can't help but marvel at.
And now, this paper has once again brought him such an experience.
"Only by measuring blood pressure and blood viscosity coefficient, can we detect where atherosclerosis exists...?"
Davis stared blankly. When he saw this, he actually didn't believe it.
Detecting the location of atherosclerosis requires the use of various instruments.
For example, B-ultrasound, CT, CTA angiography, etc. How can it be so easy to judge?
However, whether he believed it or not, the cases given in the paper had to make him believe it.
Li Mu gave several actual cases to verify his conclusion.
The reason why his paper is so long is precisely because he gave examples to support each conclusion, so it has more than 400 pages of content.
Just like this, Davis watched, 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 the vast majority of medical records, then this paper may...
Blake, who had just said "I don't know him, not familiar with him", finally took the time to turn his head and take a look. Then he saw Davis looking like he was fascinated, and he was stunned.
"Eh? Davis, can you really read this 400-page paper?"
However, Davis did not respond to his question and still looked at the paper on the monitor.
Blake became curious.
If Davis looked disgusted, he might not even take a look, but now...
Ever since, he also moved up and took a look.
As a result, he couldn't move his eyes away after seeing it.
This paper is about writing something very new...
Can so many problems be detected by just two such simple indicators?
real or fake?
Of course, as they continued to look back, they realized that there were not only two indicators: blood pressure and blood viscosity coefficient. As they looked back, there were also other indicators. However, 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.
In this way, time passed slowly.
The two of them gathered together to read a paper, which also attracted the attention of other editors around them.
"Hey, Davis, Black, 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 formed, more and more people came together.
Nearly half of the editors in the editorial department gathered around him, and the remaining editors who didn't surrounded him did so because there was no room for them to watch.
"Hou Li Xie Te, so that we can determine the location of the hemangioma?"
"unbelievable!"
"It's incredible!"
"This is fake..."
The sounds of surprise that came from time to time also made everyone present sigh with emotion.
That's it, until the end.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing! Have you finished reviewing 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 editors surrounding him looked back or moved.
Editor-in-chief Richard was stunned. Could these guys have forgotten his voice?
He turned his head, cast his doubtful eyes on an editor near the door who did not surround him, and asked: "Rule, what are they doing?"
Rule shrugged: "They found a paper... that could probably cause an earthquake in the medical world."
Richard was stunned for a moment.
"What? What paper can cause an earthquake in the medical world?"
Ruhr thought for a while and replied: "Well... 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 Ruhl was talking about, because it was the paper that went down in history in the entire biological world, the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. The authors were Watson and Clark.
Are they sure that the paper they saw is so shocking?
The biological equivalent of the DNA double helix?
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 go see it?"
Upon hearing this question, Lu suddenly said angrily: "I was squeezed out by them, those hateful guys!"
"I'm going to kick their asses with my Uncle Mike's boots!"
Richard: "..."
Well, even Ruhl said this, 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 all excellent.
And this paper was able to attract the attention of so many outstanding editors...
His editor-in-chief also walked up and tapped the shoulder of the outermost editor.
"Please step aside and let me have a look."
"Don't touch me, get in line if you can't see me."
The editor immediately frowned, turned his head and said angrily, and at the same time clapped the hand on his shoulder.
However, when he saw clearly who the person filming him was, he was stunned for a moment, "Oh my God! Chief editor..."
"I'm not the one." Richard said angrily, then waved his hand and said, "Can you give in now?"
The editor quickly moved out of the way and wiped the sweat from his face.
Of course, the other editors inside also noticed that their editor-in-chief had arrived, and they all gave up their positions to Richard.
Until finally, Richard sat in Davis's seat and read the paper.
"Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Vascular Disease...?"
When he saw this title, Richard was also a little dazed.
Isn't fluid mechanics a matter of physics?
Of course, he was not too confused and read the text directly.
And after a while, he understood why these editors were so excited.
His eyes widened as he looked at the analysis methods revealed in this paper. Every result analyzed surprised him.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is also a doctor himself, and what he sees now happens to match the patient he is encountering now.
The situation of this patient is almost completely consistent with the conclusion 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?
Without even looking at it, 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. It is working time now. If you want to read this paper, we will talk about it after get off work."
The other editors were helpless, but they had no choice but to listen to the editor-in-chief's words, so they could only return to their seats and continue to do their work.
However, Richard's reaction just now also let them know that this paper might really cause 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 every part of the paper. This was also regarded as a peer review of the paper. However, there are only a relatively large number of peer review experts invited this time.
There are more than 20 experts involved in all aspects.
After all, different vascular diseases require different specialties.
From interventional surgery experts, to internal medicine experts, to hematology experts...
The influence of this paper, even if it has not been officially announced, has already involved all aspects.
All the experts who were invited to review this paper had to be extremely amazed after reading it, and they all made comments——
This will definitely be a paper that can change the landscape of the medical community.
For this paper, as the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard worked hard for more than a month. Finally, in the new year, in February, he bound this more than 400-page paper into a separate volume. , published it in a special issue.
Then, the entire medical world was really shaken.
