Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome An Aspect of Multiple Organ Failure Results of a Prospective Clinical Study
l. A. STURM In modern society, trauma remains the number one cause of death in people under 50 years, but, despite this, very little attention has been paid to trauma care compared with other diseases such as malignancy or myocardial infarction (Table 1). The efforts that have been made in medical c...
