Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

<em>Study Design - Partially double-blinded study</em>

  • The <u>cohort study </u>will be composed of 80 adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of constant coughing present as a result of a cold, which would be measured by semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor.
  • This study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group:
  1. No medication (natural drops; <em>e.g.</em> water; saline solution) - <em>Control group </em>
  2. Cough treatment - <em>Experimental group</em>
  • Data to be collected:

Participant cough will be recorded <u>every hour</u> (until 8 hours are reached) for two consecutive days (for repetitions) in both groups using semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor and analyzed statistically.

  • Observations:

Experimental group: <u>If coughing is significantly (statistical analysis) reduced within the 8 hours </u>(<em>after repetitions</em>) and a symptom improvement is observed, <u>the hypothesis that cough drops are effective is valid</u>.

Control group: To determine that cough drops treatment is effective, the no-treatment group should score worst and participant should not show significant improvement.

*<em>In scientific experiments, repetitions are important to prevent bias and error.</em>

What are the reasons for the several day delay in a primary response. Infection______. A. transport to secondary lymphoid tissue
Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.

Explanation:

Primary immune response occurs due to the first exposure of an antigen to the immune system. The primary immune response is generally delayed by many days because it takes time for B and T cells to become cloned and to proliferate and differentiate.

Then after several days of proliferation and differentiation of activated T and B cells, T cells become effector T cells and B cell becomes plasma cells which then eliminates the antigen. Memory B and T cells are also produced during this process which helps in generating a quick immune response during the second and subsequent exposure of that antigen.

So the correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.
