    Sample of arsenic trioxide in powder form. Medical use of arsenic trioxide refers to the use of arsenic trioxide (Latin: Arsenum trioxydatum, [1] also known as "arsenic") as an chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Arsenic trioxide has orphan drug status [2] and is available as the pharmaceutical preparation ...

  4. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined ...

  5. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    Explicitly state the number of significant figures (the abbreviation s.f. is sometimes used): For example "20 000 to 2 s.f." or "20 000 (2 sf)". State the expected variability (precision) explicitly with a plus–minus sign, as in 20 000 ± 1%. This also allows specifying a range of precision in-between powers of ten.

  6. Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_ratios_in...

    For diagnostic testing, the ordering clinician will have observed some symptom or other factor that raises the pretest probability relative to the general population. A likelihood ratio of greater than 1 for a test in a population indicates that a positive test result is evidence that a condition is present. If the likelihood ratio for a test ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    Blood samples for BAC analysis are typically obtained by taking a venous blood sample from the arm. A variety of methods exist for determining blood-alcohol concentration in a blood sample. [ 18 ] Forensic laboratories typically use headspace-gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry or flame ionization detection, [ 19 ] as this method ...

  9. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    An inch is defined as exactly 25.4 mm. Using scientific notation, this value can be uniformly expressed to any desired precision, from the nearest tenth of a millimeter 2.54 × 10 1 mm to the nearest nanometer 2.540 0000 × 10 1 mm , or beyond.
