Answer to Question 1

Answer: The first step in bone marrow analysis is to establish the overall cellularity of the bone marrow. Next, the number of erythroblasts are counted and expressed as a percentage of the total number of nucleated cells in the marrow. A cutoff of 50 is considered standard. If erythroblasts comprise <50 of all nucleated cells, the nonerythroid precursors (i.e., myeloblasts and monoblasts) are then counted. If erythroblasts comprise >50 of all nucleated cells, a diagnosis of acute erythroleukemia (AEL) is suspected. If myeloblasts and/or monoblasts are >20 of the total count, AML is strongly suspected.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Myeloperoxidase (MPO): black color; positive
Sudan Black B (SBB): black color; positive
Nonspecific esterase (NSE): blue color; negative in myeloid AML; positive in myelomonocytic or monocytic AML
Specific esterase (SE): orange color; positive
Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS): coarse granular pattern; erythroblasts (AML-AEL).

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
