The following abstract appeared after the presentation of first results of the new antizombitic. Again, read the abstract carefully and answer the related questions:Title: Complex detoxification protocol as an alternative treatment for zombie infection: A pilot studyBackground: The use of alternative medicine has become increasingly popular in recent years, and many people are turning to holistic therapies to treat various conditions. In the case of zombie infection, a local doctor has developed a complex detoxification protocol based on Ayurvedic-Chinese herbs and acupuncture bite treatment.Methods: In this pilot study, 63 patients who presented with symptoms of a zombie bite were treated with the complex detoxification protocol. The patients were instructed to administer the herbal mix at home twice within 7 days, and they received two acupuncture treatments during the same period. An additional acupuncture session was provided 6 days after the initial treatment, and a final review was conducted a week later. The physician verified by telephone whether the patients were still human.Results: Out of the 63 patients treated, for only 12 there is an evidence that they transformed into zombies during the follow-up period. However, it should be noted that seven patients received only one of the two recommended acupuncture sessions due to financial reasons, and it is questionable whether they followed the recommended herbal regime.Conclusion: Although this is only a pilot study, the physician and many other experts believe that the results are hopeful and deserve further investigation.What is the comparison this pilot study?1 pointHerbal mix and acupuncturePlaceboSpecially developed alternative protoclThere is no comparisonWhat is the follow-up period for this study?1 point7 daysCirca 3 weeksMore than a monthNot possible to say based on the abstract

What is the primary route of administration for many antihelminthic drugs?*1 pointa) Intravenous (IV)b) Oral (by mouth)c) Topical (on the skin)d) Inhalation

The use of two antimicrobial agents to treat an infectious disease sometimes produces a degree of pathogen killing that is far greater than that achieved by either drug alone. This is known as synergism. Many urinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal infections respond particularly well to a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a combination referred to as co-trimoxazole; brand names include Bactrim and Septra. There are situations, however, when two drugs are prescribed (perhaps by two different clinicians who are treating the patient’s infection) that actually work against each other. This is known as antagonism. The extent of pathogen killing is less than that achieved by either drug alone. (1 Point)TrueFalse

#3 Time Heals All Wounds, But Not for Zombies20        Before the advent of antibiotic creams and pills, simple scrapes and cuts were a treacherous endeavor even for healthy-as-a-horse humans. Cuts allow dirt and germs to get a little wiggle room and make their way into your body, but with proper hygiene, including wound rinsing and hand washing, most people eventually recovered from these kinds of injuries.21        While humans have tissues that can regenerate and heal themselves, zombies do not. Their wounds, no matter how mild or severe, are permanent. Imagine, if you will, a paper cut that not only doesn't heal but actually becomes wider and deeper by the day. As the flesh continues to divide, more bone is visible, and eventually, the last drooping flaps of flesh fall to the ground. A small scrape would blister into peels of skin that sag and slide right off of a zombie's body. Skin charred by burns would curdle into a goopy, grimy mess. *1 pointBecause zombies wounds cannot heal, their injuries would only get worse and worse until their body began to fall apart.Humans have tissues that can regenerate and heal themselves, zombies do not.Cuts and open wounds allow dirt and germs to make their way into your body, causing damage.Zombies wounds are permanent.
