What is considered the “gold standard” for the detecting and the diagnosis of histoplasmosis?

An 83-year-old female presents to your acute care clinic complaining of dull pain in her right side, fever, fatigue, cough, and mild shortness of breath. She states that she started feeling bad after she attended her card club’s holiday party where lots of people were coughing. After a CXR, the physician diagnoses her with right lower lobe pneumonia. What type of pneumonia does this patient have?

What is the nickname for histoplasmosis?

The drug of choice for the treatment of fungal lung disease is:

TB is classified as either:

Regarding the patient in question 17, what is the most likely pathogen of her bacterial pneumonia?

What medication is used to treat a person who has a positive TB skin test but does not have active disease or who needs prophylactic treatment after exposure?

An annulus of narrow clearance causes a large pressure drop and can be used to measure fluid viscosity accurately. A smooth annulus has:L=1.0 m,a=50 mm,b=49 mmOil flows through the annulus at Q=2.00×10−3 m3/s If the measured pressure drop isΔp=250 kPa What is the oil viscosity μ in kg/m.s?  

Water at 20∘C20^\circ\text{C} (ρ=998 kg/m3)(\rho = 998\ \text{kg/m}^3) flows through an inclined pipe of diameter 8 cm8\ \text{cm}. At sections AA and BB, the following data are measured: pA=186 kPa,VA=3.2 m/s,zA=22.50 mp_A = 186\ \text{kPa}, \quad V_A = 3.2\ \text{m/s}, \quad z_A = 22.50\ \text{m}pB=260 kPa,VB=3.2 m/s,zB=9.1 m   Determine the head loss hfh_f​ for the flow in m.

Heat exchangers often consist of many triangular passages. Consider the triangular duct shown in the figure with:   L=78.0 cm,a=2.0 cm, β=80∘L = 52.0\ \text{cm}, \qquad a = 2.0\ \text{cm}, \qquad \beta = 80^\circT The average fluid velocity isV=2.0 m/sV = 2.0\ \text{m/s} The fluid is SAE 10 oil at 20∘C20^\circ\text{C}, with properties ρ=870 kg/m3,μ=0.104 kg/(m.s)\rho = 870\ \text{kg/m}^3, \qquad \mu = 0.104\ \text{kg/(m\cdot s)} Estimate the pressure drop Δp\Delta p in Pa through the triangular passage.
