receive和undergo的區別
表達病人接受某種治療常用receive或undergo,那麼二者有什麼區別呢?
一般來說,receive後面多接藥物或無創性的治療方法(如radiotherapy或chemotherapy),比如:
- Patients received 150 mg oral dabrafenib twice a day.
- Patients have received radiotherapy or chemotherapy for cancer.
undergo後面多接手術(如liver transplantation/RECP),比如:
- Patients underwent cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.
另外,undergo也常用於表示接受檢查,比如:
- Patients underwent MRI scans prior to mastectomy.
幾個值得注意的小處
Parameter A decreased with the increasing parameter B.
Advantage of fluoxetine over placebo
Therapy A is superior to therapy B
Satisfaction with nursing.
繪製生存曲線如何表達
一看到「繪製」,很多同學的第一反應就是draw。其實有幾個高大上的動詞與survival curves更為搭配,如下:
- To generate survival curves
- To plot survival curves
- To construct survival curves
