This suggests a high resistance to local issues and a low respiratory failure rate.</p>","PeriodicalId":10472,"journal":{"name":"Clinics","volume":"79 ","pages":"100468"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11530808/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142459707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
