Research has laid the foundation for the development not only of new medications and drugs that have dramatic effects on the practice of medicine, but for the development of a variety of modern medical technologies ranging from sophisticated scanning technologies to surgical procedures such as a coronary artery bypass, which were at one time very difficult things to do but are now commonplace.
La recherche a posé le fondement de l'élaboration de nouveaux médicaments qui ont des effets considérables sur la pratique de la médecine, en plus d'être à la base d'une variété de technologies médicales modernes allant des technologies de scintigraphie haut de gamme aux interventions chirurgicales, tel le pontage aorto-coronarien, qui étaient auparavant des interventions très difficiles, mais qui sont maintenant chose courante.
