Plasma level of N terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide as a prognostic marker in critically ill patients.

abstract：UNLABELLED:The purpose of this study was to determine whether different levels of pain would respond similarly to analgesia. We compared the analgesic response to ibuprofen in subjects with moderate versus severe baseline pain in clinical trials using the third molar post-extraction dental pain model. We performed a po...
