The complete question is:

A) Immunized against measles several month ago and well: IgG +/ IgM -

B) Never immunized and never contracted measles: IgG -/ IgM -

C) Recovering with measles that he contracted two weeks ago: IgG +/ IgM +

D) Never immunized and ill with measles for 3 days: IgG +/ IgM -

Answer:

D) Never immunized and ill with measles for 3 days: IgG +/ IgM -

Explanation:

Measles is an infectious disease and is extremely contagious due to measles virus. The common symptoms are shown in 10–12 days after coming in contact with the an infected person , and reamins for 7–10 days. Initial signs include fever, runny nose, cough, and inflamed eyes.

Which of these prescription drugs are commonly abused? Pick all that apply. A.Ritalin B.heroin C.ecstasy D.Adderall E.OxyContin

malfutka [58]

Heroin for one. A big percentage OD's on that substance.

Ecstasy well not so much. I haven't heard much about Ecstasy lately so that's pretty much on the DL.

OxyContin is definite. People used to use OxyContin as a substance that could help with emotions and is commonly abused from time to time.

Adderall could be a definite because it helps people with ADHD and people with narcolepsy or uncontrollable desire to sleep. So it could easily b abused for one or more purposes.

I'm almost sure that Ritalin is one of them.

a synthetic drug that stimulates the sympathetic and central nervous systems and is used to improve mental activity in attention deficit disorder and other conditions.

The more blood there is, the more heat there will be because of blood. An easy example is when someone's ears get all red due to a blood rush to the ears. At that time, ears are also very warm.
