Conclusions
Dr Fujiwara’s paper introduces a potentially-important scientific technique to our specialty. Transferfunction analysis holds promise of clarifying why so many of the drugs that we inject or vaporise alter the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems in the way they do.
Conclusion
L’article du docteur Fujiwara présente une technique scientifique potentiellement importante. L’analyse de la fonction de transfert est prometteuse, car elle pourrait expliquer pourquoi tant de médicaments injectés ou vaporisés modifient les systèmes respiratoire, cardiovasculaire et nerveux comme ils le font.
