Why does cyclohexanol have a pKa of 18 and phenol, despite its similarities in structure, have a pKa of 10?
◦ Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the stability of the base and favors its formation
◦ Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which increases the stability of the base and favors its formation
◦ Cycohexanol has a resonance-stabilized structure, which increases its stability and reduces the likelihood that it will react to form a conjugate base
◦ Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of the base and favors its formation
◦ Phenol has a resonance-stabilized conjugate base, which decreases the stability of the base and inhibits its formation

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
