Does clopidogrel rather than aspirin plus a proton-pump inhibitor reduce the frequency of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery?

abstract：:Acute aortic occlusion with subsequent ischemia-reperfusion of the lower extremities is well known to predispose to lung injury. Melatonin (MEL), a pineal hormone, is a free radical scavenger and an antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to assess the putative protective role of MEL in lung ischemia-reperfusion in...
