Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Schistosomiasis is a common problem in many tropical areas where the snail that is necessary in the life cycle of the fluke lives. Trichinosis is caused by eating undercooked pork and can occur in any part of the world. Filariasis and platyhelminths are not restricted to tropical areas.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Carbamazepine is often the drug of choice for treatment of partial seizures. It has the ability to inhibit polysynaptic responses and to block sodium channels to prevent the formation of repetitive action potentials in the abnormal focus. Clorazepate is indicated for anxiety and alcohol withdrawal and used as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures. Felbamate has been associated with severe liver failure and aplastic anemia and is now reserved for those patients who do not respond to other therapies. Gabapentin is used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial seizures and for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
