Answer to Question 1

B
Because neonates are nose breathers, respiratory distress is a common characteristic of choanal atresia, because of the obstruction caused by the bony separation between the nose and the pharynx. Choanal atresia may be immediately recognizable at birth by signs of respiratory distress, especially if the atresia is bilateral.

Answer to Question 2

vibroacoustic stimulation
Also referred to as VAS or acoustic stimulation, the vibroacoustic stimulator (similar to an
electronic larynx) is applied to the maternal abdomen over the area of the fetal head.
Vibration and sound are emitted for up to 3 seconds and may be repeated. A fetus near
term responds by increasing the number of gross body movements, which can be easily
seen and felt. The procedure can confirm reassuring NST findings and shorten the length
of time necessary to obtain NST data.

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).
