  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. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Relative risk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_risk

    In practice the odds ratio is commonly used for case-control studies, as the relative risk cannot be estimated. [1] In fact, the odds ratio has much more common use in statistics, since logistic regression, often associated with clinical trials, works with the log of the odds ratio, not relative risk. Because the (natural log of the) odds of a ...

    36530115 TTT and 36381293 AAA (ratio % = 1.00409). 2087242 TCG and 2085226 CGA (ratio % = 1.00096), etc... In 2020, it is suggested that the physical properties of the dsDNA (double stranded DNA) and the tendency to maximum entropy of all the physical systems are the cause of Chargaff's second parity rule. [ 13 ]

  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. Financial ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_ratio

    Liquidity ratios measure the availability of cash to pay debt. [3] Efficiency (activity) ratios measure how quickly a firm converts non-cash assets to cash assets. [4] Debt ratios measure the firm's ability to repay long-term debt. [5] Market ratios measure investor response to owning a company's stock and also the cost of issuing stock. [6]
