Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

SCLS is associated with several types of paraneoplastic syndromes, including Cushing's. Answer choice B refers to superior vena cava syndrome; answer choice C refers to hypercalcemia; and answer choice D refers to tumor lysis syndrome. All of these are complications that can occur with cancer and treatment of cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Increased sympathetic activity causes constriction of the afferent and efferent arterioles and thus a marked decrease in renal blood flow. Intense sympathetic stimulation can produce marked decreases in renal blood flow and GFR. Humoral substances, including angiotensin II, ADH, and endothelins, produce vasoconstriction of renal blood flow. Aquaporin-2 channels, potassium ions, and albumin do not have vasoconstriction properties.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
