Peri-operative troponin I concentration as a marker of long-term postoperative adverse cardiac outcomes--a study in high-risk surgical patients.

abstract：:Pain relief after surgery is frequently inadequate. In the last few years much research has been devoted to improving the situation. Unfortunately, very little work has been undertaken to explore the patients' contribution to pain management. The beliefs and attitudes held by patients when they enter the hospital envi...
