If this is the case, many people in reality do not need to be rescued. In fact? Death from trauma is a rather tangled process. The only injuries that can really make people stiff immediately are those that hurt the brain or spinal cord, such as head shots, beheadings and spinal cord amputations (hanging, twisting the neck). As for neck wiping, the trachea and carotid artery are seriously injured. Even if one cannot breathe, one will not die immediately. Otherwise, how can we hold our breath? Read More …

The Century Legend of Aspirin (3)

Before the above < < Aspirin is a thoughtful [good] drug > > The sword has two edges While people marvel at the various effects of aspirin, it should also be noted that many researchers have said: [But it is a double-edged sword.] As we already know, Aspirin plays an antipyretic and analgesic role because it can inhibit the production of prostaglandins.
