The hospital: battleground or meeting place? Ethical considerations regarding a fair distribution of new medical technologies.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has a role in cardiovascular disease, but the association of IL-6 concentration and the functional IL-6 -174 polymorphism with cognitive decline has not been demonstrated unequivocally. The obje...
