Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Progressive or deep muscle relaxation (PMR) involves a physical component-usually the tensing and relaxing of various muscle groups in the body in a sequential pattern-and a mental component-focusing on the distinction between the feelings of tension and relaxation. A physician named Edmund Jacobson developed PMR in the early 1920s to help patients relax their muscles before surgery so they would respond better and recover more quickly. Since muscle tension accompanies anxiety, he theorized that learning how to relax the muscles could reduce anxiety. Jacobson spent more than seven decades documenting the effectiveness of PMR as a preventive measure to reduce stress and as part of the treatment for problems such as hypertension and insomnia.

Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age.

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.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth.

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.
