Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The maternal serum level of alpha-fetoprotein is used to screen for Down syn-drome, neural tube defects, and other chromosome anomalies.
B The quadruple marker test would not detect this fetal anomaly. Additional test-ing such as ultrasonography and amniocentesis would be required to diagnose it.
C The quadruple marker test would not detect this fetal anomaly. Additional test-ing such as ultrasonography and amniocentesis would be required to diagnose it.
D The quadruple marker test would not detect this fetal anomaly. Additional test-ing such as ultrasonography and amniocentesis would be required to diagnose it.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Feedback
Correct Structural abnormalities of the ear, a family history of hearing loss, and
trauma are risk factors for hearing loss. Other risk factors include
persistent otitis media and developmental delay. The American Academy
of Pediatrics suggests that infants who demonstrate hearing loss be eligible
for early intervention and specialized hearing and language services.
Incorrect Prenatal alcohol or drug intake and gestational diabetes are not risk factors
for hearing loss in the infant.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
