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 end result of an aortic dissection is that the amount of oxygen and nutrients available for organs of the body is decreased. As can be seen in Figure 4, the aorta is in close proximity to many organs. The brain, kidneys, intestines, heart, and even the arms and legs may be affected by an aortic dissection.
