Answer to Question 1

D
Although surfactant normally begins to be secreted in the lungs at 28 weeks gestation, it takes at least another 8 weeks for sufficient surfactant to be secreted and distributed throughout the alveoli. Adrenal cortical steroids and alpha-fetoproteins are appropriate causes for neonatal respiratory distress but are not the most likely cause in this situation. Also, amino acids is not the primary reason for neonatal respiratory distress in a preterm neonate.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. In partial previa, the placenta only partially covers the internal os.
2. In low-lying previa, the placenta is in the lower uterine segment in close proximity to the cervix.
3. In marginal previa, the placenta just touches the edge of the internal os.
4. Complete placental previa occurs when the placenta completely covers the internal cervical os.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Prostaglandins were first isolated from human semen in Sweden in the 1930s. They were so named because the researcher thought that they came from the prostate gland. In fact, prostaglandins exist and are synthesized in almost every cell of the body.
