Interest Rate
The percentage of the value of a balance or debt that one pays or is paid each time period. For example, if one holds a bond with a face value of $1,000 and a 3% interest rate payable each quarter, one receives $30 each quarter. The percentage of the interest rate remains constant (usually), but the amount one pays or is paid changes according to the amount of the balance or debt. For example, if one pays off part of the principal on a loan each month, the amount one pays in interest decreases even though the rate remains the same. See also: Time Value of Money.

The latest figures for hospital associated infections, such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, show hospitals in Wales, including the University Hospital of Wales, have achieved a major reduction in infection rates among patients in the past few years, topping the NHS league for the UK.
China, for example, boasted a malware infection rate -- as defined by the number of computers cleaned for each 1,000 executions of the MSRT -- of just 6.
Now, the MRSA Working Group, an influential group of doctors and scientists, and patient representatives have written to all NHS Hospitals and called for the early discharge of appropriate MRSA patients to prevent a potential rise in MRSA infection rates.
