Associated factors of co-existent pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer: A case-control study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy for advanced congestive heart failure, improving both survival and hospitalization. The mechanism beneath these improvements still needs to be defined as about one-third of the patients do not benefit from resynchronization. Restoration of sym...
