sustained blood pressure >135/80 mm Hg be screened for
type 2 diabetes mellitus
FVC and FEV1/FVC are both less than the lower limit of normals FV
An FEV1/FVC less than the LLN is consistent with an obstructive defect.
A mixed pattern exists when both values are below the LLN, as in this case.

In North America, the most common conditions associated with uveitis are the seronegative
spondyloarthropathies, sarcoidosis, syphilis, rheumatoid arthritis, and reactive arthritis. All of the
conditions listed may be associated with uveitis, but given the chest radiograph findings and clinical
scenario in this case, sarcoidosis is most likely.
Which one of the following is a significant risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma? (
Esophageal adenocarcinoma has become the predominant type of esophageal cancer in North America and
Europe, and gastroesophageal reflux and obesity are the main risk factors.
In older patients with aortic stenosis and a systolic murmur, which one of the following would
