Income Statement Uses. Analysts use the income statement for data to calculate financial ratios such as return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), and earnings before interest taxes and amortization (EBITDA). The income statement is often presented in a common-sized format, which provides each line item on the income statement as a percent of sales.
An aortic dissection is an emergency with your aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in your body and the main artery that takes blood from your heart to the rest of your body. During an aortic dissection the inner layer of your aorta tears, letting blood in where it usually doesnât go.
The aorta is the largest and most important blood vessel in the body. Originating from the heart, this aorta transports much-needed nutrients to the chest, abdomen, and legs. An aortic dissection occurs when the inner lining of the artery ruptures. Blood then floods the tear resulting in the separation (dissection) of its inner and central layers. If blood overflows beyond the outer wall of the aorta, aortic dissection can often result in death. Aortic dissection represents the most frequent trauma of the aorta and is 2-3 times more prevalent than abdominal aortic tearing.
