发热是临床上的一种常见症状,引起发热的原因很多,只有找到发热的原因才能做出正确的处理。启动临床思维必须掌握充分的临床资料,然后进行周密的鉴别诊断思维程序,首先排除引起发热的其他科疾病,再考虑外科原因。感染是外科发热最主要的原因,如果是手术病人,特别应该想到和手术有关的各种感染问题。思维惯性、思维顺性和思维惰性的误导是误诊的思维原因。

3例误诊为急性冠脉综合征实施介入诊治死亡病例的启示

探讨3例被误诊为急性冠脉综合征（ACs）而急诊实施介入诊治死亡病例的,搭床特点及误诊原因,提高对ACS的诊断意识。收集我院比较典型的3例误诊死亡病例进行回顾性分析。3例死亡病例中1例为肺栓塞、1例为主动脉夹层动脉瘤（AD）、1例为流行性出血热,3例均实施了冠状动脉造影,1例于前降支植入了1枚支架。ACS患者临床表现复杂,误诊原因多为首诊医师思路狭窄,应充分利用现代影像技术,仔细分析临床症状和体征,可减少误诊死亡的发生。     

Obligations In Medical Crises: Treatment and Protocols

This article adduces several lines of argument to try to analyze the need for certain sorts of interventions in medical crises. The recent Ebola crisis is taken as exemplary, and other similarly serious medical situations requiring intervention, such as the endemic presence of Valley fever in parts of California, are alluded to. The overall contention is that our duties in medical crises may be somewhat stronger than previously constructed by analysts. The work of Kuhse and Singer is cited, and the article concludes that there are special moral obligations to respond to international medical emergencies when they arise.
