Answer to Question 1

The one-way analysis of variance test assumes that samples have been drawn from normally distributed populations with equal variances. In addition, data must be of the interval or ratio scale. The Kruskal-Wallis test requires neither normal populations nor equal variances. The data must be at least ordinal, and the samples are assumed to be randomly selected. The one-way ANOVA test is preferred whenever the necessary assumptions are met.

Answer to Question 2

The parametric counterpart to the Wilcoxon rank sum test is the two-sample pooled-variances t-test for independent samples. The t-test assumes data on the interval or ratio scale, independent random samples, normally-distributed populations, and equal variances. The Wilcoxon rank sum test assumes data on the ordinal, interval, or ratio scale and that the samples are independent random samples from populations with similar shapes.

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.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
