Toward understanding the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in the immune system: current progress and future trends.

abstract：Background:The reliability of blood pressure (BP) measurement in hospitalized patients is a topic of debate and the therapeutic implication of the routinely collected BP profiles is probably overestimated. When measurements are performed in elderly patients, further potential sources of misinterpretation occur. Method...
