The daily puzzle:
What does '*****' mean in the following text?
"A ***** is the end of a medical condition; the substance or procedure that ends the medical condition, such as a medication, a surgical operation, a change in lifestyle, or even a philosophical mindset that helps end a person's sufferings. It may also refer to the state of being healed, or *****d. A remission is a temporary end to the medical signs and symptoms of an incurable disease. A disease is said to be incurable if there is always a chance of the patient relapsing, no matter how long the patient has been in remission. The proportion of people with a disease that are *****d by a given treatment, called the ***** fraction or ***** rate, is determined by comparing disease-free survival of treated people against a matched control group that never had the disease."--++--++--
