Answer to Question 1

If the packages touch the walls of the autoclave, the material will scorch or even catch fire. If
the packages touch each other, they will block the flow of steam through the package.

Answer to Question 2

Size 3/0 suture material is 6 times thinner than size 3 suture material.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
