Looking at the grand reform of the Clinical dical College now, Yang Ping feels a headache. It’s more dizzying than performing ten major surgeries in a row.
Thankfully, Yang Ping rejected the goodwill of the superior leaders at the ti—to beco the dean and the principal in the future. It’s not a job he can handle; he just prefers to honestly focus on scientific research and surgeries.
Excelling in studies to beco a politician is not what he wants. Excelling in studies to continue research is truly what he needs. His dream is to beco a scientist with so achievents, not a dean.
Various doctors’ groups are lively now, and everyone’s discussing the election of the hospital director. Sanbo Hospital, of course, overwhelmingly supports Dean Xia. Dean Xia’s achievents over the years are obvious to all. He entirely has the ability to expand Sanbo Hospital twofold, threefold, even tenfold, but scaling up is aningless. Expanding only takes away from those lower-level hospitals: district hospitals, county hospitals, even neighborhood clinics. This kind of expansion is aningless—it’s just using an existing monopoly advantage to form a bigger monopoly.
Dean Xia didn’t blindly expand but continuously improved hospital managent and technology, focusing on the doctors to enhance their positivity, ultimately reaching the goal of better service for patients. With this, Sanbo Hospital is established as a cutting-edge hospital. A top-tier hospital should do what it’s supposed to do, not compete with county-level hospitals for business. This is Dean Xia’s philosophy.
[Everyone must hold steady; we must support Old Xia moving up.]
[Absolutely, if Old Xia fails, will I, as director, have to step down? I just got in by competitive recruitnt.]
[Brothers, I’m currently doing further studies abroad, but I still have a vote, right?]
[The director of Sanbo Hospital is as steady as a mountain; I’m just afraid of soone causing trouble behind the scenes, leading to instability in the Clinical dical College dean position.]
[No fear, we have people in the supervision team, watching twenty-four hours a day without blinking—absolutely no problems.]
Yang Ping put away his phone and ca out of the director’s office. It was already past six, and everyone was still busy in the office.
Song Zimo was with several students researching Sisi’s treatnt case.
The treatnt for K Virus is now only short of stability before clinical launch. As for clinical trials, that’s procedural work. Lack of stability can cause fluctuating treatnt effects, similarly lowering safety, because you don’t know what consequences these iterations might bring. Although the possibility of adverse effects is low, in dicine, even lower probabilities require data.
And if iterations cannot be controlled, then risks cannot be controlled. Any dical asure must consider both effects and risks.
Through genetic testing, the Genetics Laboratory over there discovered sothing significant—a gene was missing from Tong Yongqian’s grandfather’s Y chromoso, and this gene is very important for enclosure.
The Y chromoso, due to its high level of enclosure, cannot undergo genetic recombination with other chromosos. Still, it’s losing genes at a rate of about one gene per year, and this chanism of only loss and no replacent ans eventually, in two million years, the Y chromoso will lose all genes and ultimately disappear.
"Thus there’s a saying in the genetics community: Ti for n is limited—only two million years. Will n disappear due to the loss of the Y chromoso after two million years?" Song Zimo says deeply to the students.
"So we must have a sense of crisis and take on the glorious task of fighting for man’s survival," Yang Ping sits nearby, joining in the learning.
"Professor!"
Everyone imdiately made so space.
"Continue, I’ll listen too."
Yang Ping points at the image on the screen of Sisi.
The doorway of the doctor’s office, a big fatty peeks shyly with a bag of fruit, then walks in smiling.
"Everyone have so fruit." Fatty places the fruit on the desk, opens the bag, inviting everyone.
Turns out it’s Wei Danian, but he’s lost quite a bit of weight; everyone almost didn’t recognize him.
"Professor Yang!" Wei Danian greets Yang Ping warmly as soon as he sees him, being naturally very enthusiastic.
Yang Ping feels surprised: "Wei Danian, why are you here, are you here for a follow-up with Director Fang?"
Wei Danian, with almost shut eyes, smiled and said, "No, my surgery was very successful, and coupled with exercise, now look, haven’t I lost a lot of weight? Now I’m only a bit over a hundred kilograms, and I’m still losing weight. Today I went for a follow-up in the respiratory departnt. They said it’s obstructive sleep apnea syndro. A few days ago, I did a sleep monitoring and was diagnosed, and the symptoms are quite severe; the doctor said I need to wear a respirator every night."
This disease Wei Danian has is called obstructive sleep apnea syndro in adult obese patients, generally seen in obese adults.
When a person breathes normally, external air enters through the nasal cavity, passes through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, then lungs, and finally enters the alveoli for gas exchange.
The key to this gas exchange process is that the upper airways above the throat can smoothly let air enter the trachea and bronchi. If for so reason this airflow is blocked, snoring or obstructive sleep apnea will occur.
Severe patients may experience 200 or more apnea episodes each night, accompanied by hypoxia.
The average apnea duration is 25-30 seconds, sotis exceeding 1 minute. Therefore, pulmonary artery pressure increases with reduced blood oxygen, gradually raising the right heart load over ti, causing right ventricular hypertrophy, even heart failure.
