Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
Infections caused by bacteria can be treated and usually cured with antibiotics, but those caused by viruses cannot be cured this way. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilisall bacterialand trichomoniasisparas itic are easily treated with antibiotics and cured if diagnosed early. Human papillomavirus and herpes simplex are viral infections that are not treatable.

Feedback:
Any person is in a high-risk group for STIs if they have multiple sexual partners, do not use a condom during sex, have other STIs, and/or have a sexual partner who has had an STD.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

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).

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Did you know?

More than 2,500 barbiturates have been synthesized. At the height of their popularity, about 50 were marketed for human use.
