Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Total cycle time = 60 s  frequency = 60  30 = 2 s. There are four equal parts to the total cycle time (add the I from the inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio to the E from the inspirato-ry time-to-expiratory time ratio, or 1 + 3 = 4). Inspiratory time = Total cycle time  (I + E) = 2  4 = 0.5 s.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Inspiratory time = Tidal volume (in liters)  Flow rate (in liters/second) = 0.6 L  1 L/s = 0.6 s.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

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.
