### failure:

Malfunction
* are capable of short circuits
  - glitches, bugs, breakdowns, natural disasters, and the like
* cause thousands of person-days in lost productivity.
* is failure
  - identified by and within each and every nucleated cell of the colony

Market failure
* arises from externalities like ill-defined property, public property, and monopolies.
* happen when the market has an effect outside the buyers and sellers.
* is the failure of the market system to make economically efficient decisions.
* results when markets depart from perfectly competitive equilibrium.

### failure:

Mechanical failure
* happens, just like it happens to cars.
* occurs when locally high stresses exceed the strength of the material.
+ Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, Background: Storage devices
  * Most mechanical failures result from gradual wear. An eventual failure may be catastrophic. Before complete failure occurs, there are usually certain signs that failure is imminent. These may include increased heat output, a more noisy drive, problems with reading or writing data and a big increase in the number of damaged disk sectors.

Outage
* are breakdowns.
* can also affect traffic lights, residents on life support, and vital public facilities.

Ovarian failure
* develops in most postpubertal women.
* is the absence of follicles and eggs.

Power failure
* are the most common cause of abrupt system failures.
* comes in many forms.

### failure:

Power outage
* Most power outages result from trees and limbs falling on electrical lines during storms.
* are a time of higher risk
  - also common in an ice storm
  - common, especially during storms
  - often widespread and sometimes affect hundreds of thousands of people
  - responsible for loss of refrigeration
  - the greatest threat during a windstorm
* can affect refrigeration and safe cooking practices
  - kill large numbers of pigs very quickly
  - occur when branches come to close to utility power lines

Relapse
* are also extremely unusual in viral encephalitis.
* are common during subsequent episodes of neutropenia
  - when a person is trying to make any kind of behavior change
  - common, especially when stressful situations occur
* occur in more than half of women treated for advanced breast cancer
  - untreated infections
  - mainly due to regrowth of resistant myeloma cells
  - when immunotherapy is discontinued

### failure:

Renal failure
* appears to be due to necrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.
* can also cause hypertension or high blood pressure
  - be either acute or chronic
* condition in which the kidneys lose the ability to function
  - where the kidneys stop working properly
* develops with protein loss in urine.
* frequent complication caused by the excess calcium related to bone destruction.
* is an important clinical condition which is seen frequently in practice
  - characterized by azotemia and isostenuria
  - common
  - defined by functional impairment of the kidney
  - diseases
  - nephrosis
  - of two types that depend up on the onset and characteristic presentations
  - renal diseases
  - the main cause of death in patients with amyloidosis
  - uncommon
* leads to death as there is no dialysate available for the kidney dialysis machines.
* means kidney failure
  - the kidneys have stopped working properly
* possible resulting complication and cause of death.
* requires dialysis.
* serious medical condition affecting the kidneys.
