Forward

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Forward is a term often used in various fields such as mathematics, physics, finance, and sports. In the context of medicine, the term "forward" is used to describe the direction of movement or progression of a disease or condition.

Medicine

In the medical field, "forward" is used to describe the progression of a disease or condition. For example, a disease may be said to be moving "forward" if it is progressing or getting worse. This can be in terms of the severity of symptoms, the spread of the disease to other parts of the body, or the development of complications.

Progression of Disease

The progression of a disease is often described in terms of stages. The stages of a disease are typically defined by the severity of symptoms, the extent of the disease in the body, and the impact of the disease on the patient's overall health and quality of life. A disease that is moving "forward" is typically progressing from one stage to the next.

Forward in Treatment

In the context of treatment, "forward" can refer to the progression of a treatment plan. This can involve moving from one type of treatment to another, increasing the intensity or frequency of treatment, or adding new treatments to a patient's regimen.

Finance

In finance, a forward contract is a non-standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified future date for a price agreed upon today. This is in contrast to a spot contract, which is an agreement to buy or sell an asset today.

Sports

In sports, "forward" is a position in many team sports. The role and responsibilities of a forward vary depending on the sport. In general, forwards are expected to score goals and create opportunities for their team to score.

Mathematics and Physics

In mathematics and physics, "forward" can refer to a direction in space or time. For example, in physics, time is often considered to move "forward" from the past to the future.
