Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Portal hypertension can lead to the development of esophageal varices, splenomegaly, hemorrhoids, and caput medusae. Portal hypertension does not lead to gastritis or gallstone formation.

Answer to Question 2

1
Osteomalacia is a metabolic disease that causes poor and delayed mineralization of the bone cells in mature bones. The main cause of osteomalacia is a vitamin D deficiency. Osteomalacia presents with generalized skeletal pain and pain in the hips, ribs, and feet. Paget's disease is a chronic bone disorder with no definitive cure. Osteomyelitis is a serious infection of the bone. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer.

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.
