Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Metformin decreases androgen levels, which helps to regulate periods. It does not induce ovulation but increases the possibility of ovulation by its antiandrogenic effects. Clomiphene citrate promotes a dominant follicle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Menorrhagia is defined as regular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Metrorrhagia is irregular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Menorrhea is normal uterine bleeding. Menometrorrhagia is a combination of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

In Eastern Europe and Russia, interferon is administered intranasally in varied doses for the common cold and influenza. It is claimed that this treatment can lower the risk of infection by as much as 60–70%.

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).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
