Solvents can cause considerable confusion in reactions, because they’re listed along with the reagents of a reaction but often don’t actually participate in the reaction itself. [masterorganicchemistry.com]
While a company also needs liquidity to thrive and pay off its short-term obligations, such short-term liquidity should not be confused with solvency. A company that is insolvent will often enter bankruptcy. [investopedia.com]

Treatment
MeOH fraction treatment also arrested HepG2 cells in the S phase, with decreased expression of cyclin A, CDK2, and CDC25A. Also, treatment with this fraction reduced the expression of retinoblastoma (RB) protein and the transcription factor E2F. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
However, its clinical application is limited by cardiotoxicity, such as cardiomyopathy, that once developed carries a poor prognosis and is frequently fatal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He is understood to be pessimistic about the prognosis. His first significant groin injury in 2014 ruled him out for 15 months. Together with other injury problems, Tuilagi did not start a Test match for four-and-a-half years. [telegraph.co.uk]
