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.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
