Immunomodulatory effectiveness of azithromycin in prevention of postlaminectomy epidural fibrosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:High blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for stroke and all of its pathological subtypes including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, there is little evidence demonstrating whether failure to have regular BP measured could result in underestimation of people at risk for SAH. Therefore, we aimed ...
