Pregabalin rectifies aberrant brain chemistry, connectivity, and functional response in chronic pain patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It is not always possible to predict when tracheal intubation will be difficult or impossible. The authors wanted to determine whether indirect laryngoscopy could identify patients in whom intubation was difficult. METHODS:Indirect laryngoscopy was done in 2,504 patients.
