  2. Urinary retention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_retention

    A post-void residual urine greater than 50 ml is a significant amount of urine and increases the potential for recurring urinary tract infections. [ citation needed ] In adults older than 60 years, 50-100 ml of residual urine may remain after each voiding because of the decreased contractility of the detrusor muscle . [ 7 ]

  3. Residual volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_volume

    Residual volume, air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation; see lung volumes Residual volume, urine remaining in the bladder after voiding; see urinary retention Gastric residual volume (GRV) is the volume of food or fluid remaining in the stomach at a point in time during enteral tube nutrition feeding .

  4. Benign prostatic hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_prostatic_hyperplasia

    Voiding position when urinating may influence urodynamic parameters (urinary flow rate, voiding time, and post-void residual volume). [62] A meta-analysis found no differences between the standing and sitting positions for healthy males, but that, for elderly males with lower urinary tract symptoms, voiding in the sitting position-- [ 63 ]

  5. Forecasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forecasting

    Forecasting is the process of making predictions based on past and present data. Later these can be compared with what actually happens. For example, a company might estimate their revenue in the next year, then compare it against the actual results creating a variance actual analysis.

  6. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    a) top soil and colluvium b) mature residual soil c) young residual soil d) weathered rock Soil deposits are affected by the mechanism of transport and deposition to their location. Soils that are not transported are called residual soils —they exist at the same location as the rock from which they were generated.

  7. Overactive bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overactive_bladder

    Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition where there is a frequent feeling of needing to urinate to a degree that it negatively affects a person's life. [2] The frequent need to urinate may occur during the day, at night, or both. [4]

  8. Lung volumes and capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiratory_reserve_volume

    Tidal volume: that volume of air moved into or out of the lungs in 1 breath (TV indicates a subdivision of the lung; when tidal volume is precisely measured, as in gas exchange calculation, the symbol TV or V T is used.) RV: Residual volume: the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation: ERV

  9. Functional residual capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_residual_capacity

    Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration. [1] At FRC, the opposing elastic recoil forces of the lungs and chest wall are in equilibrium and there is no exertion by the diaphragm or other respiratory muscles.
