Question:
By photographic and optical means, an image can be enlarged almost indefinitely. However, most light microscopes offer magnifications of only 1000 to 1500 times the actual size, while electron microscopes offer magnifications of 100,000 times or more. Explain.

Options:
A. Light microscopes offer higher magnification than electron microscopes, but electron microscopes have better resolution.

C. Light microscopes can distinguish objects closer than 275 nanometers.
D. Light microscopes use laser technology to achieve magnification levels comparable to those of electron microscopes.
E. Electron microscopes can magnify up to 10,000 times the actual size, while light microscopes can magnify up to 2000 times.
F. Both electron and light microscopes are capable of magnifying objects to the same degree, but electron microscopes are more expensive.
G. Microscopes are limited by their size and weight.
H. Electron microscopes only provide high magnification, not high resolution.
I. The resolution limit for electron microscopes is determined by the wavelength of electrons, which cannot be improved beyond a certain point.

Question:
1.7(a) In an attempt to determine an accurate value of the gas constant, $R$, a student heated a container of volume $20.000 \mathrm{dm}^3$ filled with $0.25132 \mathrm{g}$ of helium gas to $500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and measured the pressure as $206.402 \mathrm{cm}$ of water in a manometer at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the value of $R$ from these data. (The density of water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $0.99707 \mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$; a manometer consists of a U-shaped tube containing a liquid. One side is connected to the apparatus and the other is open to the atmosphere. The pressure inside the apparatus is then determined from the difference in heights of the liquid.)

Question:
A randomized controlled trial is conducted to assess the effectiveness of a new combination-drug antihypertensive therapy (Drug X) compared with a standard antihypertensive single-drug therapy. Study participants include 140 women (70%) and 60 men (30%) ages 30 to 60 years, with baseline blood pressure measurements of 150/95 mm Hg or higher. The investigators defined antihypertensive therapy as effective if the treatment resulted in a blood pressure measurement below 140/90 mm Hg. When designing the study, the investigators set the probability of wrongly finding that Drug X is more effective than the standard therapy as 1%; they set the probability of wrongly finding that the effectiveness of the two drugs is the same as 10%. Which of the following is the most accurate estimate of the statistical power in this study?

Question:
Even though 1, 3, 5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) has more shattering power (more brisance) and is no more dangerous to handle, 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) has always been the high ex-plosive in more general use. Can you suggest a reason (connected with manufacture) for the popularity of TNT? (Benzene and toluene are both readily available materials; for many years benzene was cheaper.)

Options:
A. Toluene is more easily nitrated, and therefore more easily polynitrated than benzene.
B. The nitrating agents required for TNB are less readily available than those needed for TNT.
C. The production of TNB generates more harmful byproducts compared to TNT.
D. TNT is more stable than TNB.
E. Benzene is more easily nitrated than toluene.
F. The cost of manufacturing TNT is lower.
G. TNB is more sensitive to friction and shock, making it less safe to manufacture.
H. The purification process for TNB is more costly and time-consuming than that for TNT.
I. The chemical process for synthesizing TNB is more complex and requires higher temperatures than TNT.
J. TNB has a shorter shelf life than TNT, making it less suitable for long-term storage.

Question:
A 31-year-old man with a 5-year history of HIV infection comes to the office because of anal pain, particularly on defecation, for the past 4 months. He says he has seen spots of blood on the toilet tissue but has not had any other noticeable bleeding. He reports no change in bowel habits and has not had recent fever, chills, or rectal drainage. He says he and his partner engage in anal-receptive intercourse. His most recent CD4+ T-lymphocyte count 2 months ago was 350/mm3 ; HIV viral load at that time was undetectable. He currently is being treated with antiretroviral therapy. He has had no opportunistic infections. Medical history is also significant for syphilis and genital herpes treated with penicillin and acyclovir, respectively. He does not smoke cigarettes or drink alcoholic beverages. Vital signs are normal. Physical examination shows small bilateral inguinal lymph nodes, but respiratory, cardiac, and abdominal examinations disclose no abnormalities. There are several tender fleshy lesions around the perianal area. Rectal examination produces tenderness, but there is no rectal discharge. Test of the stool for occult blood is trace positive. Which of the following is the most appropriate pharmacotherapy at this time?

Options:
A. Acyclovir
B. Imiquimod
C. Levofloxacin

Question:
A 35-year-old woman comes to the office because of a 3-day history of severe right back pain. She has not had any fever, chills, or weight loss. She has no history of major medical illness. Musculoskeletal and neurologic examinations show no abnormalities. When told that her examination is normal, the patient becomes tearful and demands an MRI of her back because her mother just died from breast cancer metastatic to bone and she fears that she may also have cancer. The patient already contacted her insurance company, who told her that if she has neurologic abnormalities an MRI may be covered by her plan. The patient asks the physician to order the MRI indicating that she has neurologic findings. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial action by the physician?

Options:
A. Advise the patient to change insurance companies as soon as she is able so that she can receive more comprehensive medical care
B. Explain that the patient does not need the MRI and that it is not appropriate to misrepresent her examination findings
C. Immediately inform the patient's insurance company about what the patient has asked the physician to do
D. Order the MRI as the patient requests
