Another major difference between the two is that Alzheimerâs is not a reversible disease. It is degenerative and incurable at this time. Some forms of dementia, such as a drug interaction or a vitamin deficiency, are actually reversible or temporary.
If the total value of a nation's exports exceeds the total value of imports, the nation has a trade surplus. The current account deficit is a broader measure that includes the trade deficit and is itself part of a broader measure, the balance of payments. The balance of payments is the sum of all transactions between a nation and all of its international trading partners.
The term balance of payments is sometimes misused by non-economists to mean just relatively narrow parts of the BOP such as the trade deficit, which means excluding parts of the current account and the entire capital account. Another cause of confusion is the different naming conventions in use.
