Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

No chemotherapeutic regimens for bladder cancer have been established. Instillation of chemotherapeutic drugs into the bladder is currently done using thiotepa, mitomycin C, and doxorubicin. BCG vaccine causes a significant reduction in the rate of relapse and prolongs relapse-free intervals in people with cancer in situ. Inhibitors of tumor angiogenesis and inhibitors of EGF drugs are proving effective with bladder cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

After breakdown, by pancreatic lipase, triglycerides are absorbed primarily in the upper jejunum. Long-chain fatty acids are absorbed less easily than medium-chain triglycerides, while stool often contains a certain amount of fat.

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.

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.
