Answer to Question 1

Answer: mesoscale convective system

Answer to Question 2

Answer: With diameters that range from about 20 to 50 km (12 to 30 mi), supercells are smaller than either squall lines or MCCs. On the other hand, they are usually more violent and provide the setting for most very large tornadoes. Unlike MCCs and squall lines, a supercell storm consists of a single, extremely powerful cell rather than a num-ber of individual cells. Supercell storms also undergo a large-scale rotation absent from squall lines and MCCs. The typical life span of a supercell is 2 to 4 hours. Despite their single-cell structure, supercell storms are remarkably complex, with the updraft and downdraft bending and wrapping around each other due to strong wind shear.

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.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

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.
