Answer to Question 1

D
Because alternative therapies are not regulated by the FDA and are most often used instead of biomedical treatment, they can pose health hazards. Not all alternative therapies are natural biologic substances. The FDA does not regulate alternative therapies except herbal remedies, but these are regulated only as dietary supplements. Alternative therapies are used instead of biomedical therapies, so these have not been endorsed for use in the treatment of diseases.

Answer to Question 2

B
Anger or tantrums are some of the behaviors exhibited by older children in a stressful situation like a new baby in the house. Pinching or slapping the new baby are expressions of anger and attention-getting behaviors. The mother should not leave the child unattended near the newborn. The mother should also try to involve the son in the baby's care to reaffirm that the older child is an important part of the family.

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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

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).
