The nursing shortage is global according to 2022 World Health Organization fact sheet. [2] The nursing shortage is not necessarily due to the lack of trained nurses. In some cases, the scarcity occurs simultaneously with increased admission rates of students into nursing schools. Potential factors include lack of adequate staffing ratios, lack ...
Murphy's sign has a high sensitivity and negative predictive value, although the specificity is not high. [2] However, in the elderly the sensitivity is markedly lower; a negative Murphy's sign in an elderly person is not useful for ruling out cholecystitis if other tests and the clinical history suggest the diagnosis.
In mathematics, the supersilver ratio is a geometrical proportion close to 75/34. Its true value is the real solution of the equation x 3 = 2 x 2 + 1. The name supersilver ratio results from analogy with the silver ratio , the positive solution of the equation x 2 = 2 x + 1 , and the supergolden ratio .
Cholecystitis accounts for 3–10% of cases of abdominal pain worldwide. [43] Cholecystitis caused an estimated 651,829 emergency department visits and 389,180 hospital admissions in the US in 2012. [44] The 2012 US mortality rate was 0.7 per 100,000 people. [44] The frequency of cholecystitis is highest in people age 50–69 years old. [43]
The ratio of width to height of standard-definition television. In mathematics, a ratio (/ ˈ r eɪ ʃ (i) oʊ /) shows how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).

Common aspect ratios used in film and display images. The common film aspect ratios used in cinemas are 1.85:1 and 2.40:1. [1] Two common videographic aspect ratios are 4:3 (1. 3:1), [a] the universal video format of the 20th century, and 16:9 (1. 7:1), universal for high-definition television and European digital television.
Among the six principles, proportion interrelates and supports all the other factors in geometrical forms and arithmetical ratios. [2] The word symmetria, usually translated to "symmetry" in modern renderings, in ancient times meant something more closely related to "mathematical harmony" [3] and measurable proportions. Vitruvius tried to ...
