Il nome deriva dal latino libra ("bilancia").=scale La libbra ha avuto valori differenti in diversi paesi ed epoche; attualmente è ancora in uso nel Regno Unito(United Kingdom) e in altri paesi anglosassoni(U.S.A.-Namibia) la libbra inglese (pound, abbreviazione lb), con un valore pari a 453,59237 grammi, ma non fa parte del sistema internazionale. Sottomultiplo della libbra è l'oncia (ounce): una libbra è pari a 16 once. Da Carlo Magno in avanti la parola libra denotò anche una moneta. L'uso di unità di peso come unità monetarie (es. una libbra d'oro o una libbra d'argento) era comune nel mondo antico. Da questa moneta deriva il nome lira. In inglese tuttora la stessa parola pound indica sia la libbra che la sterlina, il cui simbolo £ deriva dalla lettera L.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
