Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Rho(D) immune globulin (RhoGAM) is given to Rh-negative women at 28 weeks' gestation to prevent erythroblastosis fetalis in the newborn. It is given intramuscularly. The injection protects the fetus, not the mother.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
A ventricular septal defect, pulmonary valve stenosis, hypertrophic left ventricle, and the aorta positioned over the ventral septal defect are the four characteristic defects of tetralogy of Fallot. Failure of the ductus arteriosus to close after birth is indicative of patent ductus arteriosus.

In Eastern Europe and Russia, interferon is administered intranasally in varied doses for the common cold and influenza. It is claimed that this treatment can lower the risk of infection by as much as 60–70%.

Did you know?

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).

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing for mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures.
