In addition to describing the primary endpoint and how the endpoint was assessed, the “Methods” section of a clinical paper outlines how patients were selected, the treatment groups or “arms” that were included, the treatments that were administered, and how the results were statistically analyzed.

The “Abstract” section of a clinical paper will also include a summary of the methods used in the study.

Answer explanation:
The heart is a large muscular organ that constantly pushes oxygen-rich blood to the brain and extremities and transports oxygen-poor blood from the brain and extremities to the lungs to gain oxygen. Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle, and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle, and out to the body's tissues through the aorta.

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is no longer able to pump out enough oxygen-rich blood. This causes symptoms to occur throughout the body.

"Aspirin reduces a lot of bad things. If it were patentable, it would be even more popular than either Brad Pitt or Beyonce. It reduces body-wide inflammation, decreasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, wrinkles, and impotence, and lowers cancer risk. It’s as close to a miracle drug for under three dollars a year." - Dr. Michael Roizen, Internal Medicine, Cleveland Clinic

Answer explanation:
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycemia (or higher than normal blood glucose levels). People with type 2 diabetes cannot use insulin properly. The pancreas makes extra insulin to compensate but over time, it cannot make enough to keep blood glucose levels within a normal range. People with diabetes often have high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
