Alcohol by volume … is the standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage, expressed as a volume percent. That is, how many milliliters of pure ethanol in 100 milliliters of liquid, at 68 °F (20 °C). Temperature is relevant because it influences alcohol density: alcohol is "lighter" when warm and "heavier" when cold. 2, record 1, English, - alcoholic%20strength%20by%20volume

El uso de quimioterapia en [el tratamiento del sarcoma de] Kaposi ha ido disminuyendo al mejorar la utilización de fármacos antirretrovirales combinados. Se emplea comúnmente vincristina y bleomicina. Ahora se sabe que no debe usarse adriamicina, ya que el pronóstico de los pacientes que la utilizaron fue peor, con reactivaciones graves. Otra combinación muy usual es bleomicina, vincristina y vinblastina. 1, record 2, Spanish, - vinblastina%20bleomicina%20adriamicina
