Oral Nutrition as a Form of Pre-Operative Enhancement in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The designation "gram-positive bacillus" includes a variety of pleomorphic microorganisms, including diphtheroids, coryneform species, coccobacilli, and other small rods. Despite differing greatly in their virulence, sources, and even genus, these microscopically similar organisms are often difficult to diff...
