* Acute Type II Fasciolosis: infectious dose is 1000-5000 ingested metacercariae.

This practice is based on the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Studies ( NASCIS ) I and II, though other studies have shown little benefit and concerns about side effects from the drug have changed this practice.

Other features include the Acute Care for Elders Unit, or ACE Unit and a Level I Trauma Center, one of only three in the entire Greater Houston area .< Ref name = trauma1 >

Acute neutron radiation, such as from a nuclear criticality accident, converts some of the stable < sup > 23 </ sup > Na in human blood to < sup > 24 </ sup > Na ; by measuring the concentration of < sup > 24 </ sup > Na in relation to < sup > 23 </ sup > Na, the neutron radiation dosage of the victim can be calculated.

* Acute respiratory acidosis with partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( p ) > 50 mmHg and pH < 7. 25, which may be due to paralysis of the diaphragm due to Guillain-Barré syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis, spinal cord injury, or the effect of anaesthetic and muscle relaxant drugs

Acute liver failure is the appearance of severe complications rapidly after the first signs of liver disease ( such as jaundice ), and indicates that the liver has sustained severe damage ( loss of function of 80-90 % of liver cells ).

Acute measles encephalitis has a mortality rate of 15 %.

However, for others such as Acute Myeloid Leukemia, the reduced mortality of the autogenous relative to allogeneic HSCT may be outweighed by an increased likelihood of cancer relapse and related mortality, and therefore the allogeneic treatment may be preferred for those conditions.

Acute subdural hematomas that are due to trauma are the most lethal of all head injuries and have a high mortality rate if they are not rapidly treated with surgical decompression.

Acute subdural bleeds have a high mortality rate, higher even than epidural hematomas and diffuse brain injuries, because the force ( acceleration / deceleration ) required to cause them causes other severe injuries as well.

Acute tests are not valid if mortality in the control sample is greater than 10 %.
