Question 71-79


Narcolepsy is a disease characterized by malfunctioning sleep mechanics. It can consist of a sudden and uncontrollable bout of sleep during daylight hours and disturbed sleep during nighttime hours. It occurs more often in men than in women, and it commonly makes its appearance during adolescence or young adulthood. At least a half million Americans are believed to be affected by narcolepsy.


Narcolepsy can take a number of forms during daylight hours. One common symptom of the disease during daytime hours is a sudden attack of REM (rapid-eye-movement) sleep during normal waking hours. This occurs in some people hundreds of times in a single day, while others only have rare occurrences. During a sleep attack, narcoleptics may experience automatic behavior; even though asleep, they may continue automatically performing the activity they were involved in prior to falling asleep. They may, for example, continue walking, or driving, or stirring a pot until the activity is interrupted by external forces. Other experience cataplexy during daytime hours; cataplexy involves a sudden loss of muscle tone that may cause the head to droop or the knees to wobble in conjunction with intense emotion or excitement.


During sleep hours, narcolepsy can also manifest itself in a variety of ways. During the transitional phase that precedes the onset of sleep, it is common for hallucinations to occur. These hallucinations, known as hypnagogic phenomena, consist of realistic perceptions of sights and sounds during the semi-conscious state between wakefulness and sleep. Narcoleptics may also suffer from night wakening during sleep paralysis, the inability to move, perhaps for several minutes, immediately after waking.


Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

a)

A Good Night’s Sleep

b)

A Cure for Narcolepsy

c)

An Unusual Sleep Disturbance

d)

Hallucinations during Sleep

e)

A Daylight Sleep Disorder

During sleep hours, narcolepsy can also manifest itself in a variety of ways. During the transitional phase that precedes the onset of sleep, it is common for hallucinations to occur. These hallucinations, known as hypnagogic phenomena, consist of realistic perceptions of sights and sounds during the semi-conscious state between wakefulness and sleep. Narcoleptics may also suffer from night wakening during sleep paralysis, the inability to move, perhaps for several minutes, immediately after waking.


Approximately how many narcoleptics are there in the United States?

a)

Fewer than 500,000

b)

More than 500,000

c)

Question 71-79


Narcolepsy is a disease characterized by malfunctioning sleep mechanics. It can consist of a sudden and uncontrollable bout of sleep during daylight hours and disturbed sleep during nighttime hours. It occurs more often in men than in women, and it commonly makes its appearance during adolescence or young adulthood. At least a half million Americans are believed to be affected by narcolepsy.


Narcolepsy can take a number of forms during daylight hours. One common symptom of the disease during daytime hours is a sudden attack of REM (rapid-eye-movement) sleep during normal waking hours. This occurs in some people hundreds of times in a single day, while others only have rare occurrences. During a sleep attack, narcoleptics may experience automatic behavior; even though asleep, they may continue automatically performing the activity they were involved in prior to falling asleep. They may, for example, continue walking, or driving, or stirring a pot until the activity is interrupted by external forces. Other experience cataplexy during daytime hours; cataplexy involves a sudden loss of muscle tone that may cause the head to droop or the knees to wobble in conjunction with intense emotion or excitement.

Question 80-82


The novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that emerged in the city of Wuhan, China, last year and has since caused a large scale COVID-19 epidemic and spread to more than 70 other countries is the product of natural evolution, according to findings published today in the journal Nature Medicine. The analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered.


Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illnesses ranging widely in severity. The first known severe illness caused by a coronavirus emerged with the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in China. A second outbreak of severe illness began in 2012 in Saudi Arabia with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). On December 31 of last year, Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization of an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus causing severe illness, which was subsequently named SARS-CoV-2. As of February 20, 2020, nearly 167,500 COVID-19 cases have been documented, although many more mild-cases have likely gone undiagnosed. The virus has killed over 6,600 people.


Shortly after the epidemic began, Chinese scientists sequenced the genome of SARS-CoV-2 and made the data available to researchers worldwide. The resulting genomic sequence data has shown that Chinese authorities rapidly detected the epidemic and that the number of COVID-19 cases have been increasing because of human to human transmission after a single introduction into the human population. Andersen and collaborators at several other research institutions used this sequencing data to explore the origins and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 by focusing in on several tell-tale features of the virus.


The scientists analyzed the genetic template for spike proteins, armatures on the outside of the virus that it uses to grab and penetrate the outer walls of human and animal cells. More specifically, they focused on two important features of the spike protein: the receptor-binding domain (RBD), a kind of grappling hook that grips onto host cells, and the cleavage site, a molecular can opener that allows the virus to crack open and enter host cells.


According to the passage, which is not true about corona virus?

a)

The coronavirus, called Covid-19 by the WHO, originated in China

b)

The coronavirus is the cousin of the SARS virus

c)

MERS virus is different family with coronavirus

d)

The number of Covid-19 cases have been increasing because human to human transmission

e)

The coronavirus has been passed from Wuhan to more than 70 other countries

Question 83-90


It is well-known that if a mother smokes during pregnancy, it can have long-term effects on the physical health of the child, including increased risk for respiratory disease, ear infections and asthma. New research shoes that prenatal smoking also can lead to psychiatric problems and increase the need yins for psychotropic medications in childhood and young adulthood.


Researchers from Finland found that adolescents who had been exposed to prenatal smoking were at increased risk for use of all psychiatric drugs especially those uses to treat depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addiction compared to non-exposed youths. The study is being presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.


Recent studies show the maternal smoking during pregnancy may interfere with brain development of the growing fetus “said Mikael Ekblad lead author of the study and a pediatric researcher at Turku University Hospital in Finland. “By avoiding smoking during pregnancy, all the later psychiatric problems caused by smoking exposure could be prevented. Ekblad and his colleagues collected information from the Finnish Medical Birth Register on maternal smoking, gestational age, birth weight, and S-minute Apgar scores for all children born in Finland from 1987 through 1989. They also analyzed records on mothers’ psychiatric inpatient care from 1969-1989 and children’s use of psychiatric drugs. Results showed that 12.3 percent of the young adults had used psychiatric drugs, and of these, 19.2 percent had been exposed to prenatal smoking.


The rate of psychotropic medication use was highest in young adults whose mothers smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day while pregnant (16.9 percent), followed by youths whose mothers smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day (14.7 percent) and unexposed youths (11.7 percent). The risk for medication use was similar in males and females, and remained after adjusting for risk factors at birth, such as Apgar scores and birth weight, and the mother’s previous inpatient care for mental disorders.

Exposure to prenatal smoking increased the risk for use all psychotropic drugs, especially stimulants used to treat ADHD (unexposed 0.2 percent, less than 10 cigarettes/day: 0.4 percent; and more than 10 cigarettes/day: 0.6 percent) and drugs for addiction. An increased risk for use of drugs to treat depression was also seen (unexposed: 6 percent, less than ‘10 cigarettes/day: 8.6 percent; and more than 10 cigarettes/day: 10.3 percent).

They also analyzed records on mothers’ psychiatric inpatient care from 1969-1989 and children’s use of psychiatric drugs. Results showed that 12.3 percent of the young adults had used psychiatric drugs, and of these, 19.2 percent had been exposed to prenatal smoking.


The rate of psychotropic medication use was highest in young adults whose mothers smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day while pregnant (16.9 percent), followed by youths whose mothers smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day (14.7 percent) and unexposed youths (11.7 percent). The risk for medication use was similar in males and females, and remained after adjusting for risk factors at birth, such as Apgar scores and birth weight, and the mother’s previous inpatient care for mental disorders.

Exposure to prenatal smoking increased the risk for use all psychotropic drugs, especially stimulants used to treat ADHD (unexposed 0.2 percent, less than 10 cigarettes/day: 0.4 percent; and more than 10 cigarettes/day: 0.6 percent) and drugs for addiction. An increased risk for use of drugs to treat depression was also seen (unexposed: 6 percent, less than ‘10 cigarettes/day: 8.6 percent; and more than 10 cigarettes/day: 10.3 percent).

It is well-known that if a mother smokes during pregnancy, it can have long-term effects on the physical health of the child, including increased risk for respiratory disease, ear infections and asthma. New research shoes that prenatal smoking also can lead to psychiatric problems and increase the need yins for psychotropic medications in childhood and young adulthood.


Researchers from Finland found that adolescents who had been exposed to prenatal smoking were at increased risk for use of all psychiatric drugs especially those uses to treat depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addiction compared to non-exposed youths. The study is being presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
