Which one of the following is correct? Question 6 options: None of these responses is correct. Protease inhibitors can be used for hair growth. Minoxidil was discovered in a search for cancer drugs. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a deficiency in acetylcholine. Proton pump inhibitors are used to decrease blood pressure. No patient with an HIV infection has lived more than ten years after diagnosis.

Which of the following would help to differentiate between Scarlet fever and other possible infections? Personality changes and foaming at the mouth Extremely watery diarrhea A bullseye shaped rash on the upper arms or legs The presence of a red tongue and mouth Two of the above would help differentiate Scarlet fever from other infections Human Papillomavirus: Is a viral etiology for warts Is capable of oncogenesis Can be treated with neuraminidase inhibitors Is a sexually transmitted infection More than one of the above are true of Human Papillomavirus Which of the following drugs does not target bacterial protein synthesis? Tetracycline Streptomycin Chloramphenicol Erythromycin Bacitracin Viruses: Assemble proteins using 70S ribosomes Have spike proteins only when they are enveloped Always cause acute infection Can sometimes be treated with protease inhibitors None of the above are true of viruses Annual variations in the Influenza virus are due to minor mutations in the genes encoding the H and the N antigens. This phenomenon is known as: Antigenic shift Silent mutation Antigenic drift Both antigenic shift and antigenic drift None of the above describe annual variations in the Influenza virus Prolonged antibiotic use to treat Strep throat can result in an infection of the mouth caused by a depletion of beneficial oral microbiota that are killed by the antibiotic. Which organism takes advantage of the depleted microbial community and causes this oral infection? Candida albicans Streptococcus mutans Staphylococcus aureus Blastomyces dermatitidis None of the above cause oral infection when the microbial community has been disturbed Which of the following cell types plays an important role in the destruction of parasites present inside the body? Eosinophils Neutrophils Cytotoxic T cells T helper cells Natural killer cells Prions: Are infectious pieces of protein Are infectious protein coats that contain RNA inside Are easily destroyed by boiling Are treated with azoles None of the above are true of prions Which of the following would be the best treatment option for diphtheria? Isoniazid Miconazole Protease inhibitors Vancomycin Amoxicillin

2. Imagine that a drug interacts with baroreceptors, causing them to increase their firing rate. What would you expect to be a result of taking this drug? A. The drug would be protective against hemorrhage B. The drug would raise heart rate C. The drug would raise blood pressure D. The drug would lower blood pressure 3. Anti-inflammatory medication would suppress A. the release of cytokines B. vasodilation C. leukocyte movement through the capillary wall D. the release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells E. all of these statements are correct 4. A neurologist diagnoses a patient with damage to the hippocampus. This observation is consistent with the difficulties with patient reports with A. perceiving tactile stimulation from different regions of their body B. Forming memories of recent events C. effectively coordinating movements once initiated D. maintaining a steady and regular heartbeat E. planning movements 5. Imagine a drug that causes an increase in the signaling pathways activated by nitric oxide (NO). What might be the effect of such a drug? A. produce an erection B. initiate ovulation C. downregulate testosterone D. increase sperm production 6. The 1918 influenza pandemic was notable for the number of people who died, particularly young people with healthy immune systems. Scientists believe that the deaths may have been caused by an overreaction of the immune system to infection. An out-of-control positive feedback loop can occur because helper T cells and macrophages can both respond to and also secrete __________. A. Immunoglobulins B. proteases C. cytokines D. perforin E. T cell receptors
