Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 18.7 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.30. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.30 = 7.14.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A voltage of 61.5 mV is developed for every pH unit difference between the sample and the measuring electrode, which remains 6.84. Therefore, the voltage difference is 44.90 mV divided by 61.5 mV, or 0.73. The resultant pH can be calculated as 6.84 + 0.73 = 7.57.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
