Clinical consequences of the lipophilicity and plasma protein binding of antiarrhythmic drugs and active metabolites in man.

abstract：:Francisella tularensis is one of the most pathogenic pathogens known, especially when disseminated as a small particle aerosol. Because of this, it was developed into a biological warfare agent by several states during the 20th century. Nowadays, concerns remain about the potential of this pathogen to cause widespread...
