Answer to Question 1

A temporary disturbance of a system is called perturbation, while a more persistent disturbance of a system is called a forcing.

Answer to Question 2

The equilibrium states of a system can be represented as peaks (unstable) and valleys (stable). On disturbance, the system returns to stable equilibrium states but moves away from unstable equilibrium states. A system with a single feedback loop has a stable equilibrium state if the feedback loop is negative and an unstable equilibrium if the feedback loop is positive.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

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.
