Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
These investigators demonstrated that ARDS, regardless of the cause, is associated with an in-flux of neutrophils (PMNs) and PMN-derived inflammatory byproducts, such as neutrophil elas-tase and myeloperoxidase, into the lung.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Although many seemingly unrelated risk factors for ARDS have been identified, all causes of ARDS evoke disruption of endothelial and epithelial barriers and typically occur under condi-tions associated with widespread microvascular injury to the lungs.

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.
