Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As inspired gas moves into the lungs, it achieves BTPS conditions (body temperature, 37 C; barometric pressure; saturated with water vapor 100 relative humidity at 37 C). This point, normally approximately 5 cm below the carina, is called the isothermic saturation boundary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Currently, the American Heart Association recommends an initial energy level, if a biphasic de-fibrillator is available, of 120 to 200 J for defibrillation of adults and 2 to 4 J/kg for children and infants.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Did you know?

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.

Vampire bats have a natural anticoagulant in their saliva that permits continuous bleeding after they painlessly open a wound with their incisors. This capillary blood does not cause any significant blood loss to their victims.

Only one in 10 cancer deaths is caused by the primary tumor. The vast majority of cancer mortality is caused by cells breaking away from the main tumor and metastasizing to other parts of the body, such as the brain, bones, or liver.
