Answer to Question 1

A
Similar to OSA, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has customarily been the first-line therapy for patients with hyperventilation-related CSA. Patients who do not respond well to CPAP should receive a trial of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) with the variable positive airway pressure adapt (VPAP Adapt).

Answer to Question 2

B
In allergic asthma, the airway mucosa is infiltrated with eosinophils and inflammatory cells. When the eosinophils break down, microscopic crystals, called Charcot-Leyden crystals, form.
