Answer to Question 1

image reveals that OML was not quite perpendicular to the IR

Rationale: The orbits appear only three quarters full with the petrous pyramids indicating the chin was not tucked enough; OML was not quite perpendicular to the IR.

Answer to Question 2

10

Rationale: An ambulatory chest should be evaluated for inclusion of the entire lung field, no rotation at the SC joints, removal of scapulae from the lung field and a minimum of 10 ribs above the diaphragm.

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.

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.
