Blood transfusions likely exacerbate this immune response, which also is associated with an increase in infectious complications. The finding raises the possibility that risk stratification for postoperative complications might use immunologic factors for […]

Magnesium is an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist that functions as an analgesic. This study was aimed to evaluate whether magnesium […]
