  2. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

    An ejection fraction (EF) is the volumetric fraction (or portion of the total) of fluid (usually blood) ejected from a chamber (usually the heart) with each contraction (or heartbeat). It can refer to the cardiac atrium , [ 1 ] cardiac ventricle , [ 2 ] gall bladder, [ 3 ] or leg veins, [ 4 ] although if unspecified it usually refers to the ...

  3. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    Heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), previously called "heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction", [63] is defined by an ejection fraction of 41–49%. [ 63 ] Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF): Synonyms no longer recommended include "diastolic heart failure" and "heart failure with normal ...

  4. Gallbladder cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallbladder_cancer

    Gallbladder cancer is a relatively uncommon cancer, with an incidence of fewer than 2 cases per 100,000 people per year in the United States. [7] It is particularly common in central and South America, central and eastern Europe, Japan and northern India; it is also common in certain ethnic groups e.g. Native American Indians and Hispanics.

  5. Extracellular fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_fluid

    The volume of body fluid, blood glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels are also tightly homeostatically maintained. The volume of extracellular fluid in a young adult male of 70 kg (154 lbs) is 20% of body weight – about fourteen liters. Eleven liters are interstitial fluid and the remaining three liters are plasma. [7]

  6. Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    In US and many international publications, BAC levels are written as a percentage such as 0.08%, i.e. there is 0.8 grams of alcohol per liter of blood. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In different countries, the maximum permitted BAC when driving ranges from the limit of detection ( zero tolerance ) to 0.08% (0.8 g/L ).

  7. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    The attraction allows closer spacing between molecules than is usually found in non-polar mixtures. [citation needed] Thus, alc/vol is not the same as volume fraction expressed as a percentage. Volume fraction, which is widely used in chemistry (commonly denoted as v/v), is defined as the volume of a particular component divided by the sum of ...

  8. Neptune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune

    There do exist orbits within these empty regions where objects can survive for the age of the Solar System. These resonances occur when Neptune's orbital period is a precise fraction of that of the object, such as 1:2, or 3:4. If, say, an object orbits the Sun once for every two Neptune orbits, it will only complete half an orbit by the time ...
