    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascending_aorta

    The ascending aorta (AAo) [1] is a portion of the aorta commencing at the upper part of the base of the left ventricle, on a level with the lower border of the third costal cartilage behind the left half of the sternum.

  3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    This may also be called standard range. In contrast, optimal (health) range or therapeutic target is a reference range or limit that is based on concentrations or levels that are associated with optimal health or minimal risk of related complications and diseases. For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_range

    The standard definition of a reference range for a particular measurement is defined as the interval between which 95% of values of a reference population fall into, in such a way that 2.5% of the time a value will be less than the lower limit of this interval, and 2.5% of the time it will be larger than the upper limit of this interval, whatever the distribution of these values.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_aorta

    The aorta then arches back over the right pulmonary artery. Three vessels come out of the aortic arch: the brachiocephalic artery, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. These vessels supply blood to the head, neck, thorax and upper limbs. Behind the descending thoracic aorta is the vertebral column and the hemiazygos vein.

  6. Hyperbilirubinemia in adults - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbilirubinemia_in_adults

    Extremely high levels of unconjugated bilirubin in plasma enables bilirubin to cross the blood-brain-barrier to reach the brain and central nervous system to impart damage. This is termed kernicterus, or bilirubin encephalopathy. Kernicterus is rare in adults but is prevalent in newborns with underdeveloped blood-brain barriers and lower ...

    The superior limit of the fibrous pericardium surrounding the ascending aorta [2]: 350 Termination of the azygos vein into the superior vena cava [7]: 193 Ligamentum arteriosum [citation needed] Loop of left recurrent laryngeal nerve around aortic arch [citation needed] The beginning and end of the aortic arch [2]: 383 [7]: 190

  8. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    When total bilirubin levels exceed 40 μmol/L, bilirubin deposition at the sclera, skin, and mucous membranes will give these areas a yellow colour, thus it is called jaundice. [6] The increase in predominantly unconjugated bilirubin is due to overproduction, reduced hepatic uptake of the unconjugated bilirubin and reduced conjugation of bilirubin.

  9. Thoracic aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_aortic_aneurysm

    A thoracic aortic aneurysm is an aortic aneurysm that presents primarily in the thorax. A thoracic aortic aneurysm is the "ballooning" of the upper aspect of the aorta, above the diaphragm. Untreated or unrecognized they can be fatal due to dissection or "popping" of the aneurysm leading to nearly instant death.
