Answer to Question 1

Answer: Troughs in the jet stream cause divergence aloft and cause the rise of air over the polar front. This causes the polar front boundary to kink and a wave to form.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The central low pressure causes a gradient and the three forces of the winds cause the winds to spiral into the low at an angle across the isobars. Yet, the low moves along in a predictable direction because it is caused and steered by the winds of the polar front jet stream.

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.
