Question:
The discovery of the element argon by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay had its origins in Rayleigh's measurements of the density of nitrogen with an eye toward accurate determination of its molar mass. Rayleigh prepared some samples of nitrogen by chemical reaction of nitrogencontaining compounds; under his standard conditions, a glass globe filled with this 'chemical nitrogen' had a mass of $2.2990 \mathrm{~g}$. He prepared other samples by removing oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour from atmospheric air; under the same conditions, this 'atmospheric nitrogen' had a mass of $2.3102 \mathrm{~g}$ (Lord Rayleigh, Royal Institution Proceedings 14, 524 (1895)). With the hindsight of knowing accurate values for the molar masses of nitrogen and argon, compute the mole fraction of argon in the latter sample on the assumption that the former was pure nitrogen and the latter a mixture of nitrogen and argon.

Question:
A 43-year-old man with a history of self-mutilation comes to the emergency department because of pain in his right thigh and shaking chills during the past 3 days. He says he intentionally burned his right thigh several times with a cigarette lighter 6 days ago. This morning he soaked his thigh in a tub of hot water and massaged it, after which a large amount of "greenish fluid" drained from the wound sites. The patient normally takes lithium carbonate but stopped 3 months ago after he lost his job. Medical history is otherwise unremarkable. Vital signs are temperature 39.2°C (102.5°F), pulse 170/min, respirations 18/min, and blood pressure 120/60 mm Hg. Physical examination shows an edematous right lateral thigh with multiple burn sites with a white exudative appearance. There is erythema surrounding the burn areas with red streaks extending up the thigh. Palpation of the burn sites discloses fluctuance. Results of laboratory studies show a hemoglobin concentration of 14 g/dL and a leukocyte count of 19,000/mm3 . In addition to beginning antibiotic therapy, which of the following is the most appropriate next step?

Options:
A. Application of a pressure bandage
B. Intravenous fluid resuscitation
C. Recommencement of lithium carbonate treatment
D. Transfer to a burn center

Question:
A 49-year-old man, who is recovering in the hospital 2 days after uncomplicated left femoral-popliteal bypass grafting for claudication, has now developed increasing pain in his left foot. Until now, the patient's postoperative course had been unremarkable and he has been treated with low-dose morphine for pain control. Medical history is remarkable for type 2 diabetes mellitus controlled with metformin and diet. Vital signs now are temperature 36.8°C (98.2°F), pulse 80/min and regular, respirations 20/min, and blood pressure 150/92 mm Hg. The surgical incision appears clean and well approximated without abnormal erythema or swelling. The left lower extremity and foot appear pale. Palpation of the left lower extremity discloses a strong femoral pulse, a weak popliteal pulse, and a cool, pulseless foot. Which of the following is the most appropriate management?

Options:
A. Intraoperative angiography
B. Intravenous heparin therapy
C. Immediate surgical exploration
D. Initiate antibiotic therapy
E. Computed Tomography (CT) of the lower extremity
F. Intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy

Question:
Differentiate between an isometric and an isotonic contraction.

Options:
A. Isotonic contractions are used for maintaining posture and isometric contractions are used for movement
B. An isotonic contraction is when the muscle length remains constant and an isometric contraction is when the muscle length changes
C. An isotonic contraction is when a muscle maintains the same tension as it lengthens, while an isometric contraction is when a muscle shortens without any load.
D. An isotonic contraction is when a muscle lengthens and an isometric contraction is when a muscle shortens
E. An isotonic contraction is when a muscle shortens and lifts a load, with the load remaining constant. An isometric contraction is the development of muscle tension at a constant muscle length, typically used for maintaining posture.
F. Isometric contractions result in muscle lengthening under tension, while isotonic contractions maintain a constant muscle length without tension.
G. An isotonic contraction results in a change in muscle tension but no movement or change in muscle length.
H. Isometric contractions involve dynamic movements that change muscle length, while isotonic contractions are static and involve no movement.
I. Isotonic contractions occur without any external load, while isometric contractions involve lifting varying weights.
J. An isometric contraction occurs when a muscle both shortens and lengthens simultaneously while lifting a load.
