Answer to Question 1

A
Similar to OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has customarily been the first-line therapy for patients with hyperventilation-related CSA. Patients who do not respond well to CPAP should receive a trial of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) with the variable positive airway pressure adapt (VPAP Adapt).

Answer to Question 2

B
In allergic asthma, the airway mucosa is infiltrated with eosinophils and inflammatory cells. When the eosinophils break down, microscopic crystals, called Charcot-Leyden crystals, form.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
