Answer to Question 1

C
About 20 of patients with cystic fibrosis will develop a spontaneous pneumothorax. The other listed problems are not typically associated with cystic fibrosis.

Answer to Question 2

B
If an infant with MAS has air trapping, he or she can suddenly develop a pneumothorax (about 10 to 15 of the time) or pneumomediastinum. PPHN and cardiomegaly are slow to develop.

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).
