Answer: B. Paroxetine

Explanation:

The answer to the question is Paroxetine and this is because there has been a series of researches conducted at different laboratories and found undetectable serum levels in infants and there were also no reports of short term adverse effects.

As for valproic acid, it is usually passed into the infant through breastfeeding and makes the infant susceptible to liver liver toxicity.

Methotrexate on its part is a drug with known harmful effects and though there are very few researches that can actually prove its harmful effects in infant, it is a drug that can be passed to infants in small amounts and this logically implies that it can be dangerous to infants breastfeeding.

As for Fluoxetine, there has been a lot of researches which proved colic, fussiness and drowsiness in infants breastfeeding from mothers taking the drugs

Answer:

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Cytokines act as mediators responsible for the inflammatory process.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

<u>Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)</u> is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis and progressive destruction of the joint cartilage and underlying bone, together with diverse extra-articular manifestations. Cytokines act as soluble effector mediators of the inflammatory process. Therapeutic neutralization with monoclonal antibodies against the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and interleukin 1 (IL-1) has shown a clear efficacy on inflammation and clinical manifestations of RA, although a percentage of patients do not respond.

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Cytokines act as mediators responsible for the inflammatory process.</u>
