Mach F, et al. (2018). Adverse effects of statin therapy: perception vs. the evidence — Focus on glucose homeostasis, cognitive, renal and hepatic function, haemorrhagic stroke and cataract. Teams might be a better solution than Skype in almost all regards, but we believe Microsoft didn't have to present it as a full-on replacement. Or try to "hide" Skype to promote Teams.

On a related note: the faux equation x = ±b is mathematical shorthand for the disjunction x=-b or x=b of two equations. Plus and minus signs are often used in tree view on a computer screen—to show if a folder is collapsed or not. In physics, the use of plus and minus signs for different electrical charges was introduced by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. Even though there’s no dedicated key for the Plus or Minus symbol on the keyboard, you can still get this symbol using the keyboard for both Windows and Mac. Some annuities charge fees, Brabham says, while others don’t. But for those that do, the fees might be 2% to 3% per year. That fee range is higher than the range for some other investment types. Investors and financial advisors might find annuity fees “troubling, ” Brabham says.plus". Oxford English Dictionary (Onlineed.). Oxford University Press.

the mathematical equation 1 ± 1. We can say "plus or minus one". May I omit "or" to say "plus minus one"?

The side-effects of statins

Eventually, we want students to read the calculation as "Four add negative two, subtract positive five, subtract negative one, add positive seven" (or replacing the operation words add/subtract with plus/minus, but always insisting on positive and negative for the signs accompanying the numbers), and think to themselves "Four, down two, down five, up one, up However, all medicines carry risks as well as benefits, and as a doctor I weigh up these risks and benefits every time I prescribe a medicine. If you're otherwise healthy and not on other medicines, there's a good chance that you won't have any side-effects, but up to one in 10 people taking statins have minor side-effects and a far smaller number have severe ones. A prefix of a numeric constant. When it is placed immediately before an unsigned numeral, the combination names a negative number, the additive inverse of the positive number that the numeral would otherwise name. In this usage, ' −5' names a number the same way 'semicircle' names a geometric figure, with the caveat that 'semi' does not have a separate use as a function name.

This article is an expanded version of one published on NRICH in 2008. The original article is contained within this version. In grading systems (such as examination marks), the plus sign indicates a grade one level higher and the minus sign a grade lower. For example, B− ("B minus") is one grade lower than B. In some occasions, this is extended to two plus or minus signs (e.g., A++ being two grades higher than A). The + sign is a simplification of the Latin: et (comparable to the evolution of the ampersand &). [7] The − may be derived from a tilde written over ⟨m⟩ when used to indicate subtraction; or it may come from a shorthand version of the letter ⟨m⟩ itself.

Are statins a good thing?

Ley, Willy (April 1965). "Symbolically Speaking". For Your Information. Galaxy Science Fiction. pp.57–67. Rarely, statin use causes rhabdomyolysis. This is a severe syndrome caused by the death of muscle tissue. When this occurs, the muscles release their contents into the bloodstream. This can damage the kidneys and may cause kidney failure.

The overall risk of side effects may be low. According to the research article in the journal Medicina Clínica, over the course of 5 years, about 0.5% to 1% of people taking statins experience side effects. However, side effects are the primary reason that people stop taking statins. My balloon starts at height +4. I add two sandbags (down two), subtract five puffs of hot air (down five), subtract one sandbag (up one), then add seven puffs of hot air (up seven). My balloon ends up at height +5.
