You should probably reword it tho

Many statistics are taken from a small group of people used to represent the general population. Say a news channel reported that 81% of teenagers in America were planning on going to a four-year college. This statistic is most likely taken from a randomly selected group of teenagers, and calculated with a margin of error. Because after all, it's nearly impossible to survey every single teenager in America. This can lead to some statistics that are not really representative of the actual percentage of people. This only gets more likely the larger the general population being "surveyed" is. Another reason is that the media is not always truthful with statistics. Things can be altered and not many people will notice.

ss7ja [257]

Pulmonary embolism occurring in up to 3 in every 1,000 births is a major cause of death.

One of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs can get blocked, causing a pulmonary embolism. The majority of the time, blood clots from deep leg veins or, rarely, veins in other parts of the body that go to the lungs cause pulmonary embolism (deep vein thrombosis).

Pulmonary embolism, which occurs when blood clots obstruct the flow of blood to the lungs, can be fatal. But the danger of dying is significantly decreased with quick treatment. By taking precautions to avoid leg blood clots, you can lessen your risk of developing pulmonary embolism.

How does CLIA classify handheld hemoglobin meters?
maksim [4K]
The purpose of this article is to review current principles and criteria for obtaining Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA ’88) waiver, identify existing point-of-care (POC) coagulation and hematology technologies, and analyze regulatory challenges regarding CLIA-waiver for those and future devices. CLIA ’88 documentation requires tests performed by laboratories with a Certificate of Waiver to be so simple that the likelihood of erroneous results by the user is negligible, or poses no unreasonable risk of harm to the patient if performed incorrectly as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. “Simple” means that the test uses unprocessed samples, has a direct read-out of test results, does not have specifications for user training, and includes instructions for confirmatory testing when advisable.

Which chamber of the heart is most likely to be the strongest and why?
Alla [95]
The left ventricle is the strongest because it has to pump blood out to the entire body. When your heart functions normally, all four chambers work together in a continuous and coordinated effort to keep oxygen-rich blood circulating throughout your body.
