A pericardial effusion is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space around the heart. It is commonly known as fluid around the heart.

A shot really refers to a portion of liquor being served in a shot glass, and the same is true for a jigger.. A pint is 16 fluid ounces and a fifth (as the name implies, 1/5 of a gallon) is 25.6 ounces. So for the three most commonly quoted sizes for a shot (1, 1.25, and 1.5 ounces), a pint is 16, 12.8, or 10.7 shots and a fifth is 25.6, 20.5, or 17 shots.
