In most types of liver disease, the ALT level is higher than AST and the AST/ALT ratio will be low (less than 1). There are a few exceptions; the AST/ALT ratio is usually increased in alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and in the first day or two of acute hepatitis or injury from bile duct obstruction.
The modern number system was invented by the Indians. Despite that, the numeral system used today is called Arabic or Hindu-Arabic because the Arabs were the ones to bring it to Europe.
One of the first examples of this is The Sand Reckoner, in which Archimedes gave a system for naming large numbers. To do this, he called the numbers up to a myriad myriad (10 8) first numbers and called 10 8 itself the unit of the second numbers. Multiples of this unit then became the second numbers, up to this unit taken a myriad myriad times, 10 8 Â·10 8 =10 16.
