Vitamins are nutrients required in very small _________(1) for essential metabolic reactions in the body. Vitamins are biomolecules that act both as _________(2) and substrates in chemical reactions. When acting as a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are _________(3) cofactors, for example vitamin K forms part of the proteases _________(4) in blood _________(5) . Vitamins also act as coenzymes to carry chemical groups between enzymes, for example folic _________(6) carries various forms of carbon groups (methyl, formyl or methylene) in the cell. Until the 1900s, vitamins were obtained solely through food _________(7). Many food sources contain different ratios of vitamins. Therefore, if the only source of vitamins is food, changes in diet will alter the types and amounts of vitamins _________(8). However, as many vitamins can be _________(9) by the body, short-term deficiencies do not usually cause disease. Vitamins have been produced as commodity chemicals and made widely-available as inexpensive pills for several _________(10), allowing supplementation of the dietary intake. biomolecule catalyst clotting cofactor

In 1747, the Scottish surgeon James Lind discovered that citrus foods helped prevent scurvy, a particularly deadly disease in which collagen is not properly formed, and is characterized by poor wound _________(4), bleeding of the gums, and severe pain. In 1753, Lind published his Treatise on the Scurvy, which recommended _________(5) lemons and limes to avoid scurvy, which was adopted by the British Royal Navy. This led to the nickname Limey for sailors of that organization. Lind's discovery, however, was not widely _________(6) by individuals in the Royal Navy's Arctic expeditions in the 19th century, where it was widely believed that scurvy could be prevented by _________(7) good hygiene, regular exercise, and by _________(8) the morale of the crew while on board, rather than by a diet of fresh food. As a result, Arctic expeditions continued to be _________(9) by scurvy and other deficiency diseases.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: Risk Factors for Vitamin D Deficiency Exclusively breast fed infants: Infants who are exclusively breast fed and do not receive vitamin D supplementation are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency, particularly if they have dark skin and/or receive little sun exposure. Human milk generally provides 25 IU of vitamin D per liter, which is not enough for an infant if it is the sole source of vitamin D. Older infants and toddlers exclusively fed with milk substitutes and weaning foods that are not vitamin D fortified are also at risk of vitamin D deficiency. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants that are not consuming at least 500 ml (16 ounces) of vitamin D fortified formula or milk be given a vitamin D supplement of 200 IU/day. Dark skin: People with dark skin synthesize less vitamin D on exposure to sunlight than those with light skin. The risk of vitamin D deficiency is particularly high in dark-skinned people who live far from the equator. In the U.S., 42% of African American women between 15 and 49 years of age were vitamin D deficient compared to 4% of white women. Aging: The elderly have reduced capacity to synthesize vitamin D in the skin when exposed to UVB radiation, and are more likely to stay indoors or use sunscreen. Institutionalized adults are at extremely high risk of vitamin D deficiency without supplementation. Covering all exposed skin or using sunscreen whenever outside: Osteomalacia has been documented in women who cover all of their skin whenever they are outside for religious or cultural reasons. The application of sunscreen with an SPF factor of 8 reduces production of vitamin D by 95%. Fat malabsorption syndromes: Cystic fibrosis and cholestatic liver disease impair the absorption of dietary vitamin D. Inflammatory bowel disease: People with inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn’s disease appear to be at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency, especially those who have had small bowel resections. Obesity: Obesity increases the risk of vitamin D deficiency. Once vitamin D is synthesized in the skin or ingested, it is deposited in body fat stores, making it less bioavailable to people with large stores of body fat. bioavailable sinh khả dụng institutionalized ở hoài trong nhà bowel ruột malabsorption hấp thu kém cholestatic ứ mật obesity chứng béo phì cystic fibrosis xơ nang osteomalacia nhuyễn xương deposit(v,n) lắng đọng resection cắt bỏ equator xích đạo substitute (n,v) thay thế exclusively chỉ riêng mỗi sunscreen chất chống nắng fortify tăng cường toddler trẻ mới biết đi infant trẻ em wean cai, dứt, kiêng Questions MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

2.2. PASSAGE 2: Vitamin C Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin used to treat and prevent a wide variety of conditions. Often, people use it to prevent or treat the common cold. However, there are other claimed uses of vitamin C as well, such as for reducing the risk of heart disease. Some of these uses are more valid than others. The vitamin has several different effects in the human body, such as: - Antioxidant -- Many of the effects of vitamin C can be attributed to its antioxidant effects. As an antioxidant, it helps prevent the formation of free radicals, damaging molecules or atoms that can start a chain reaction of cellular damage. Free radicals play a role in various age-related conditions, such as cancer and heart disease. - Immune function -- There are numerous different proposed mechanisms by which vitamin C may improve immune function. At this time, it is not entirely clear how the vitamin stimulates the immune system. - Iron absorption -- Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron from the digestive tract into the body. - Various metabolic pathways and synthesis processes -- It is important for many different crucial processes in the body, including forming cartilage and proteins and building or breaking down numerous other compounds or tissues in the body. Vitamin C may be effective for several different uses. However, there is much controversy about some uses, such as for the common cold. Most people do not experience side effects with vitamin C (at normal doses). However, some people may experience side effects (especially with high doses), including, but not limit to nausea, vomiting, heartburn or indigestion, insomnia, kidney stones. Normal doses are probably safe for most people, but high doses can cause problems. Some people may be more likely to experience problems due to vitamin C. Questions 1. 2. 3. 4.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: Relationship with parasites Some recent research has also begun to show that some kinds of common parasites, such as intestinal worms (e.g. hookworms), secrete immunosuppressant chemicals into the gut wall and hence the bloodstream which prevent the body from attacking the parasite. This gives rise to a new slant on the "hygiene hypothesis" — that co-evolution of man and parasites has in the past led to an immune system that only functions correctly in the presence of the parasites. Without them, the immune system becomes unbalanced and oversensitive. Gut worms and similar parasites are present in untreated drinking water in undeveloped countries, and in developed countries until the routine chlorination and purification of drinking water supplies. This also coincides with the time period in which a significant rise in allergies has been observed. So far, there is only sporadic evidence to support this hypothesis — one scientist who suffered from seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) infected himself with gut worms and was immediately 'cured' of his allergy with no other ill effects. Full clinical trials have yet to be performed however. It may be that the term 'parasite' could turn out to be inappropriate, and in fact a hitherto unsuspected symbiosis is at work. chlorination xử lý bằng clo hygiene vệ sinh clinical trial thử nghiệm lâm sàng hypothesis giả thuyết, lí thuyết co-evolution đồng tiến hoá immunosuppressant ức chhé miễn dịch coincide with trùng với purification làm tinh khiết evidence bằng chứng significant đáng kể gut wall thành ruột slant thiên kiến hence sau đó sporadic đơn lẻ hitherto từ nay trở đi symbiosis cộng, đồng sinh hookworm giun móc unsuspected không nghi ngờ TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS 1. _________ Intestinal worms harm the human body by secreting immunosuppressant chemicals. 2. _________ According to the text the human immune system cannot function correctly without the parasites. 3. _________ It can be inferred that a significant rise in allergies in developed countries is related to MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

2.2. PASSAGE 2: Read the passage and answer the questions below Medical scientists are becoming more and more interested in allergies. An allergy is a condition caused by an excessive reaction in some people to a substance or substances which would not normally cause a disease. In fact, some researchers do not classify allergies as diseases, although they can be just as troublesome. Severe reactions can even result in death. Substances that cause allergies are called allergens. The most common natural allergens are dust and pollen. Some plants and flowers give out pollen to the atmosphere during spring and early summer. Many people develop symptoms like those of the common cold such as watery eyes and nose, sneezing and a slight rise in temperature. This is commonly called the hay fever. Allergic reactions can also be caused by food. Milk and eggs are known to be allergenic for some people. However, almost anything eaten, drunk, inhaled or touched can cause a reaction. Drugs, even the common ones like aspirin, can result in distressing symptoms. Some are dangerous. When penicillin was first manufactured on a large scale, it proved to be effective against many pathogens. But it had a tendency to cause reactions so strong that patients sometimes died. The sulpha drugs were also quite dangerous, although they did not kill as many people as penicillin did. We now have better antibiotics, but they must be taken with great care. There is no sure remedy for allergies. Sometimes the body cures itself. Treatment might consist of giving drugs either to reduce the symptoms or to suppress the reaction. Drugs of the second type are called antihistamines. They are not always effective, and they tend to make the patient sleepy. Some doctors think it is better to identify and avoid the allergen, but this in not always possible. A. Circle the letter of the best answer. 1. A good title for this passage is A. Treatment of Allergies B. Causes of Allergies C. Definition and Classification of Allergies D. Allergies 2. Sulpha drugs were _______ than penicillin. A. less dangerous B. more dangerous C. more common D. less common 3. The word ‘they’ refers to _______ A. drugs B. sulpha drugs C. penicillin drugs D. better antibiotics 4. The word ‘antibiotics’ means _______. A. chemicals that work with life B. chemicals that work for life C. drugs that work against allergies D. drugs that work against life 5. From the last paragraph you can infer that antihistamines are _______ A. allergy causing substances. B. disease causing agents. C. drugs to suppress allergic reactions D. drugs to reduce the severity of the symptoms. 6. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? A. Dust and pollen are the rarest allergens in nature. B. There is no definite treatment for allergies. C. Antibiotics are given to patients to reduce the symptoms. D. People should avoid milk and eggs to prevent allergies. B. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Say whether the following statements are true or false. _______ A substance causing an allergy can easily be avoided. _______ Some scientists do not think allergies are diseases. _______ Early antibiotics were quite dangerous. _______ Penicillin is an effective antihistamine. _______ The common cold is also known as the hay fever.

Chemicals in the smoke paralyse the tiny _______(8) which normally clear the mucus out of the air passages. The only way to clear this is by _______(9). Because the lungs cannot be kept clean, smokers often develop bronchitis and chest infections. Repeated coughing causes the delicate walls of the alveoli to be _______(10), which reduces the surface area for gas exchange. This is one of the reasons why smokers are often short of breath. The lungs can develop large holes which blow up like balloons. This condition is called emphysema (khí phế thủng).

Chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), mental health disorders, and injuries and violence are major problems, _________(1) for over 40 per cent of the disease burden in high mortality developing countries, and over 75 per cent in lower mortality developing countries. NCDs, such as cardiovascular disease, _________(2), chronic respiratory disease and major cancers, are often _________(3) to be "diseases of affluence". However, the majority of their disease burden occurs in developing countries, and at rates, particularly in _________(4) areas, that are often higher than in _________(5) countries. As the populations of developing countries age, and with rapid urbanisation and globalisation driving increases in the risk _________(6) for chronic NCDs, their burden is increasing rapidly. Of the _________(7) 400 million persons affected by mental disorders, most live in developing countries which command only a fraction of global mental health resources. Mental disorders account for 5-10 per cent of the burden of disease in these countries. _________(8) populations, such as the poor and those affected by disasters, are at greater risk. Mental disorders can be effectively and affordably treated at the local _________(9). However, most of those in need do not receive any treatment. Injuries, including those caused by violence, are also a major public health concern, leading to over five million deaths worldwide each year.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: Non-communicable Diseases are not disease of Affluence Non-industrialized regions often have lower life expectancies, even for non-communicable causes of death. Although these diseases, including heart disease and stroke, are the largest proportional killers of people in the industrialized world, they often kill a large population in non-industrialized world, and at a younger age. For example in 1990, of the 6.3 million people that died of heart disease, 57% were in the non-industrialized regions; among the 4.4 million people that died of stroke, 68% were in non-industrialized countries. When one looks at the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60, the industrialized and non-industrialized worlds have similar rates for non-communicable diseases. For people between the ages of 60 and 70, some non-industrialized regions have a higher rate of death from noncommunicable diseases than the industrialized regions. This shows that unequal access to treatment and other factors causes premature mortality rates in non-industrialized countries. This refutes the myth that non-communicable diseases, such as stroke and heart disease, mainly impact the affluent. Instead, it highlights that communicable diseases kill children in non-industrialized countries most often, and these deaths have a significant impact on overall world mortality rates. Controlling these diseases, through immunization and other means, can be one large step toward achieving health equality. access to equality expectancy highlight immunization impact (n,v) industrialized killer 1.

2.2. PASSAGE 2: CANCER It would be much easier to detect and treat cancer if it were a single disease, as many people think. There are actually some 200 different diseases that can be called cancers. They all have different causes; originate in various tissues; develop for various reasons and in different ways; and demand very different types of treatment. Cancers can be categorized into three major groups: those arising in epithelial (covering) tissue are called carcinomas; those originating in connective tissue, such as bones and muscle, are sarcomas; and the third group called leukemias and lymphomas are cancerous diseases of blood tissue and lymphatic system respectively. The last group is very different from the previous two in that it does not produce solid tumors. Carcinomas are the most common type of cancer that people suffer from. They develop on the surface of an organ such as the skin, the lining of the uterus, mouth, nose, throat, air tubes in the lungs, inside a duct in the breast or any other site. Most of these cancers can be treated successfully as long as the cancerous (malignant) cells remain as a separate mass— without invading the nearby tissues. Sarcomas include tumors of the kidney, pancreas, liver and brain, and bone tissue like the spine, pelvis, ribs and femur. Cancers of muscle, tendons and ligaments are very rare. The bone cancers, named separately as myelomas, usually cause the bone to break easily or collapse under pressure. Again, as in many forms of cancer, early detection can lead to treatment by excision or destruction (using radiation) of the affected part or area of an organ. The third category is that of cancers of blood tissue and the lymphatic system known as leukemias and lymphomas. Leukemias (usually referred to in the plural) are different forms of cancer affecting various white blood cells. Children under 12 outnumber adults of all ages in developing leukemias. Lymphosarcomas and lymphomas are cancers of lymph nodes and reticular cells respectively. Cancer of the thyroid glands is the most common example in this group. Whatever the type, cancer remains one of the fatal diseases of modern times. It is the second biggest killer in the developed world and may soon become the number one killer. After detection, only one out of five survives—only for a period of five years. A. Circle the letter of the best answer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: Types of Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is marked by elevated blood glucose (commonly referred to as blood sugar). A large portion of the food that we eat is converted by the body into glucose. The blood delivers glucose throughout the body, but the hormone insulin is needed in order for it to be transported into most cells. Insulin comes from the pancreas. If the pancreas does not make sufficient insulin or cells are resistant to its activity of promoting glucose uptake, the blood glucose level becomes elevated. Type I diabetes represents approximately 5-10% of diabetic patients. It usually has a rapid onset and most frequently manifest in children and adolescents. Because the body cannot use dietary glucose, the level in the blood is elevated and excess glucose is lost in the urine, causing weakness, thirst and hunger. The treatment for type I diabetes is insulin replacement. MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

23

Type II diabetes is found in some 120 million adults, who are able to produce insulin but the liver and body cells are resistant to its actions. Some type II diabetics can be effectively treated with diet alone, but many require oral medications. Historically, this has been thought of as maturity onset diabetes because it tends to occur after age 50, but there has been a dramatic increase in the number of adolescents with the disease. This is thought to be due to increased obesity and decreased physical activity in this age group. The major complication of diabetes is damage to the heart and blood vessels, which can cause heart attacks, strokes, and poor circulation. The effects on blood vessels also increase the risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension). Diabetics have an increased risk of eye disease. Damage to the retina associated with diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults under age 65 in the US. When blood glucose is high, nerve cells swell and scar. The disease associated with damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord is referred to as peripheral neuropathy. The most common type of neuropathy in diabetics involves impairment of sensory nerves. Impaired nerve signals to the brain about sensations such as the detection of heat or pain may lead to burns or undetected cuts that can become infected. If untreated, infected foot and leg ulcers can spread to the bone and may require amputation. Burning, pain or tingling sensations in the hands, legs and feet are also common. adolescent convert detection dietary impairment peripheral neuropathy promote

2.2. PASSAGE 2: Type 2 diabetes Type 2 diabetes is the most common of the two forms of diabetes, affecting 90% or greater of the people with diabetes. In type 2 diabetes the pancreas produces insulin but the cells of the body become resistant or the amount of insulin produced is not enough. Glucose builds up in the blood stream (hyperglycemia) and the cells of the body are unable to function properly. MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

Type 2 diabetes can affect anyone at any age but is more common in overweight populations, people with a family history of type 2 diabetes, the elderly, and people with metabolic syndrome (problems with hypertension and cholesterol issues.) Some life-threatening problems that can occur with uncontrolled blood glucose levels. Retinopathy is caused by damage to the small blood vessels of the retina. These blood vessels begin to leak fluid into the retina, which leads to blurred vision. Kidney damage is caused by destruction of the small vessels in the nephrons allowing protein to flow into the urine. As this neuropathy continues, the function of the kidney declines and leads to kidney failure and end-stage kidney disease. Circulatory problems and nerve damage are cause by a hardening of the arteries. This causes loss of sensation, risk of ulcers, infection and can lead to amputation. 51 What is the problem with insulin in type 2 diabetes? . A. The pancreas stops producing insulin. B.

Diabetes -- What Is It? To have _______(1) you need sugar, so there's a little bit of sugar in your blood at all times. Your body uses a _______(2) called "insulin" to let this sugar into your cells. Insulin is produced in the pancreas, which is an organ that sits behind your stomach. Most cells in your body have insulin receptors on their outer _______(3). Insulin fits into these receptors like a key opening a lock. When this connection is made, it signals special transporter MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

proteins to move up to the cell membrane, where they allow more sugar _______(4) to enter the cell. This sugar fuels your body's cells, giving them the energy they need to work properly and _______(5) themselves. Normally, your body is able to maintain proper levels of sugar in your blood and inside your cells. But in people with diabetes, the body's cells stay locked and sugar can't get in to provide energy. This causes too much sugar to _______(6) in the blood. Over time, high levels of sugar in the blood can lead to serious health problems in the eyes, feet and hands, _______(7), and heart. There are two main types of diabetes -- type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes usually begins in young children and _______(8). People with this type of diabetes have a pancreas that doesn't produce enough insulin -- or stops producing it altogether. This means they need to have insulin shots on a _______(9) basis to help keep their blood sugar at the right level. Type 2 diabetes happens in people whose pancreas DOES make insulin. But in a person with this type of diabetes, the insulin receptors on the cells' surface become less _______(10). Since the receptors don't respond to the insulin anymore, sugar stays locked out of the cells and _______(11) in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is usually seen in older people. Also, things like being overweight and _______(12) can make a person more likely to get type 2 diabetes. This is especially true for those who are African American or Hispanic.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: DEMENTIA Dementia is a medical term for mental deterioration (worsening), especially in thought and memory processes. Such worsening of mental condition can be caused by infection, injury, toxins from alcoholism and tumors, and cerebral arteriosclerosis (clogging of small arteries in the brain). The presenile dementias (Alzheimer’s disease) represent a group of degenerative diseases of the brain in which the mental deterioration becomes obvious in the middle age (around 45). Commonly, the first symptom is the patient becomes unusually unreasonable in his actions and judgements. He can no longer fully understand a situation at hand; and therefore, reacts inappropriately. Memory gradually fades and recent events are no longer remembered. However, events that occurred early in life can easily be recalled. The patient may move around aimlessly and get lost in his own house. There is a progressive deterioration of personal care and cleanliness. Eventually, the patient loses his command over language and is unable to express himself clearly. This process, unfortunately, continues weakening the patient’s muscular system to the extent that he is finally confined to bed, completely helpless and dependent on others until he dies. The mental deterioration in aged patients (above 60) is known as senile dementia. Whether it is caused by the degenerative processes of the brain or cerebral arteriosclerosis is not clear yet. However, it does appear that senile dementia is probably secondary to a degenerative process similar to that of Alzheimer’s disease but occurring late in life. Whether or not dementia can be halted depends very much on its cause. If, for example, the dementia is the result of some brain infection or exposure to toxins from alcohol or any other drug, killing the infectious agent or removing the toxins may be very useful in arresting it. There is no specific cure for any of the degenerative diseases of the brain. A. Circle the letter of the best answer. 1. The word ‘it’ refers to _______ A. presenile dementia C. senile dementia 2.

2.2. PASSAGE 2:

Lead poisoning

Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness, and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioural problems. This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to leadbased paint. Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster, or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in older, dilapidated houses are particularly at risk. absorb attention span chipped paint concern dilapidated 1.

Coronary heart disease and atherosclerotic heart disease Coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary _________(1) disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic heart disease, is the end result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the _________(2) (the muscle of the heart). While the _________(3) and signs of coronary heart disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary heart disease show no evidence of disease for _________(4) as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arise. After decades of progression, some of these atheromatous plaques may rupture and (along with the activation of the blood clotting system) start limiting blood _________(5) to the heart muscle. The disease is the most common cause of sudden _________(6), and is also the most common _________(7) for death of men and women over 65 years of age. Atherosclerotic heart disease can be thought of as a wide spectrum of disease of the heart. At one end of the spectrum is the asymptomatic individual with atheromatous streaks within the walls of the coronary arteries (the arteries of the heart). These streaks represent the early stage of atherosclerotic heart disease and do not obstruct the flow of blood. A coronary angiogram performed during this stage of disease may not show any _________(8) of coronary artery disease, because the lumen of the coronary artery has not decreased in calibre. Over a _________(9) of many years, these streaks increase in thickness. While the atheromatous plaques initially expand into the walls of the arteries, eventually they will expand into the lumen of the vessel, affecting the flow of blood through the arteries. While it was originally believed that the growth of atheromatous plaques was a slow, gradual process, some recent evidence suggests that the gradual _________(10) of plaque may be complemented by small plaque ruptures which cause the sudden increase in the plaque burden due to accumulation of thrombus material. asymptomatic atheromatous streak atherosclerotic blood clotting system burden complement evidence expand

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below. 2.1. PASSAGE 1: Heart disease and life style As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising. Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An earlymorning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.

2.2. PASSAGE 2: Arthritis MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

Arthritis is a general term that refers to over a hundred different types of joint inflammation. This joint inflammation causes swelling, pain and stiffness. The typical signs of arthritis are swelling of the joint that is warm to the touch, pain, tenderness, stiffness, redness and loss of function. Arthritis is not always limited to the joints of the body and can affect soft tissues and internal organs. In the joint, inflammation causes damage to the cartilage and synovial lining. When the cartilage is worn down, the bones may rub together. Damage to the synovial lining cause synovial fluid to leak and produce fluid in the joint lining. This adds to the swelling. If the joint lining continues to grow, it can permanently damage the bone. All of this causes pain, swelling and distress for the patient. The most common types of arthritis are: Osteoarthritis. This is the most prevalent. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage covering the bone slowly wears away with age and the bones rub together. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA.) In rheumatoid arthritis the body’s immune system begins to attack the joints of the body causing the joint lining to swell. Gout. Gout is a condition where the body cannot effectively remove uric acid and the uric acid crystallizes in the joints like needles, causing swelling and severe pain.

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Coronary heart disease is when the arteries that carry blood to the heart become blocked with cells, _______(1), and fatty deposits, called plaque. The purpose of the blood inside these vessels is to bring oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. If an artery becomes narrowed or _______(2), oxygen and nutrients cannot be _______(3) to areas of the heart tissue. This can cause temporary changes to these areas. If heart tissue goes too long without oxygen or nutrients, heart tissue can die. This is called a heart _______(4). There are many tests available to look for coronary heart disease. The choice of which and how many tests to perform depends on your history of heart problems and current _______(5). If coronary heart disease is diagnosed there are many ways to _______(6) it. These can include lifestyle changes such as _______(7) exercise, changes in diet, and quitting smoking. Or you may need medication. However, medication can only help treat the symptoms of blocked coronary arteries, it cannot fix them. In more _______(8) cases of heart disease, surgery is needed to make a new path for blood, going around a narrowed or blocked vessel. This surgery is called coronary artery bypass graft. During coronary artery bypass graft surgery a blood vessel is taken from somewhere else in the body and is used to bypass a _______(9) or blocked vessel in the heart. This improves the blood _______(10) to the heart and in turn, improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.

Infectious disease results from the interplay between those few pathogens and the _________(1) of the hosts they infect. The appearance and severity of disease resulting from any pathogen depends upon the ability of that pathogen to damage the host as well as the ability of the host to _________(2) the pathogen. Infectious _________(3), or microbes, are therefore classified as either primary pathogens or as opportunistic pathogens according to the status of host defenses. Primary pathogens _________(4) disease as a result of their presence or activity within the normal, healthy host, and their intrinsic virulence (the severity of the disease they cause) is, in part, a necessary consequence of their need to reproduce and spread.

Agents and vectors Infectious disease requires an agent and a mode of transmission (or vector). A good example is malaria, which is caused by Plasmodial parasites, chiefly Plasmodium falciparum but does not affect humans unless the _________(1), the Anopheles mosquito, is around to _________(2) the parasite into the human bloodstream. The vector does not have to be biological. Many infectious diseases are _________(3) by droplets which enter the airway (e.g. common cold and tuberculosis). Infection with most _________(4) does not result in death of the host and the offending organism is ultimately cleared after the symptoms of the disease have waned. This process requires immune _________(5) to kill or inactivate the inoculum of the pathogen. Specific acquired immunity against infectious diseases may be mediated by antibodies and/or T lymphocytes. Immunity mediated by these two factors may be _________(6) by: - a direct effect upon a pathogen, such as antibody-initiated complement-dependent bacteriolysis, phagocytosis and killing, as occurs for some bacteria, - neutralization of viruses so that these organisms cannot enter cells, - or by T lymphocytes which will kill a cell _________(7) by a microorganism. The immune response to a microorganism often causes _________(8) such as a high fever and inflammation, and has the potential to be more devastating than direct damage caused by a microbe. Resistance to infection (immunity) may be acquired following a disease, by asymptomatic carriage of the pathogen, by harboring an organism with a similar structure (crossreacting), or by _________(9). Knowledge of the protective antigens and specific acquired host immune factors is more complete for primary pathogens than for opportunistic pathogens. Immune resistance to an infectious disease requires a critical level of either antigen-specific antibodies and/or T cells when the host _________(10) the pathogen. Some individuals develop natural serum antibodies to the surface polysaccharides of some agents although they have had little or no contact with the agent, these natural antibodies confer specific protection to adults and are passively transmitted to newborns. antibody-initiated do kháng thể khởi đầu inoculum chất tiêm truyền, cấy MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

When a culture has proven to be positive, the sensitivity (or, conversely, the antibiotic resistance) of an agent can be determined by exposing it to test doses of antibiotic. This way, the microbiologist determines how sensitive the target bacterium is to a certain antibiotic. This is usually reported as being: Sensitive, Intermediate or Resistant. The antibiogram can then be used to determine optimal therapy for the patient. This can reduce the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and lead to a decrease in antibiotic resistance. Doctors who specialise in the medical treatment of infectious disease are called infectiologists or infectious disease specialists. Generally, infections are initially diagnosed by primary care physicians or internal medicine specialists. For example, an "uncomplicated" pneumonia will generally be treated by the internist or the pulmonologist (lung physician). The services of the infectious disease team are called for when: - The disease has not been definitively diagnosed after an initial workup - The patient is immunocompromised (for example, in AIDS or after chemotherapy); - The infectious agent is of an uncommon nature (e.g. tropical diseases); - The disease has not responded to first line antibiotics; - The disease might be dangerous to other patients, and the patient might have to be isolated. The work of the infectiologist therefore entails working with patients and doctors on one hand and laboratory scientists and immunologists on the other hand.

that results in a lack of fresh water. When sewer systems fail so that waste travels into the rivers or streams and piped water is not available so that people must take their drinking and cooking water from the rivers or streams, the disease will frequently strike.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below.

2.1. PASSAGE 1: Tannins and Cancer Botanists and biomedical scientists have been collecting evidence for decades that tannins, compounds of plant origin that are found in tea and red wine, can cause cancer of the esophagus, which is almost always fatal. In 1962, they began to investigate a fivefold increase in the rate of cancer of the esophagus among the Bantu of Africa from 1943 to 1953 Soon after, they began to search for causes of the disease among the inhabitants of Curacao and other Caribbean islands. Interviews with victims and surviving relatives led them to suspect that something in the diet was causing the cancer. Three of the dietary plants that they had collected produced tumours in 100 percent of their experimental animals. The suspect plants were all native teas with medicinal application. Though the plants were not related botanically, the one thing they had in common was condensed tannin. Tannins, like caffeine and nicotine, serve plants as defenses against insects and other predators. Tannins were found in the sorghum that serves both the Bantu and the people of Curacao as a dietary staple. The botanists theorized that a drought had been indirectly responsible for the cancer MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

epidemic among the Bantu, because it forced them to rely more on tannin-rich sorghum, which is extremely drought resistant, after their other staple crops died out. While studies have shown that tannins produce liver cancer in lab animals, human studies involving tannins so far have been only field observations, under controlled conditions. Some scientists believe other factors, such as smoking and drinking ethanol (beverage alcohol) also contribute to esophageal cancer in humans. beverage biomedical botanist compound condensed tannin drought resistant field observation fivefold 1.

2.2. PASSAGE 2: Measles Measles is an extremely contagious, febrile disease of high morbidity characterized by rash and catarrhal inflammation of the eyes and respiratory tract. It is principally a benign disease of childhood, but may afflict with equal frequency persons of any age not previously attacked by the virus. It is a disease of cosmopolitan distribution, endemic in all but isolated populations. It may occur at any time of the year, but most outbreaks are in late winter and early spring, with a peak at the end of April.


49

Throughout most of the world measles is a disease of children; most adults possess acquired immunity. Beyond the age of ten more than 90% of the population have specific antibody. Morbidity and mortality rates do not appear to be influenced by sex or race. Case fatality rates are highest in children less than five years of age, and are also relatively high in the aged. Congenital infection has occurred. There is no evidence that the virus may vary in virulence in nature. The oft-cited and notorious (được biết đến nhiều) virulence of the disease in primitive, isolated or crowded populations may be explained by (1) more prevalent (thịnh hành, phổ biến) infection of feeble and aged adults, (2) poor environmental conditions, (3) inadequate medical care, and (4) secondary bacterial infections. Because measles rarely induces fatal disease, it is evident that fatalities attributable to measles may vary in incidence according to the prevalence of bacterial pathogens and the resistance of the population to their presence. 1.

II. READING PASSAGES Read the passages and answer the questions below.

2.1. PASSAGE 1: DIAGNOSIS A hundred years ago a doctor had to recall all his experience and use his judgment to diagnose what was wrong with a patient. Quite often he would be right, but sometimes he would make mistakes. A doctor’s mistake can be dangerous, even fatal, for a patient.


53

Nowadays, a doctor usually follows certain procedures when he diagnoses a patient. First, he looks at the patient for any visible symptoms such as skin, fingernails or eye discoloration, or to observe his posture or the way he moves. Then he asks the patient to describe his own problems. For example, if there is any pain, what kind and where it is. The doctor can usually make a good guess at this stage. However, for further confirmation he might physically examine the patient. This includes checking the pulse, examining the eyes and the tongue, the skin (to see if it is dry), checking how the patient breathes, measuring the temperature and the blood pressure etc. If the physician is still not quite sure of the patient’s problem, he then sends the patient to the lab for some tests like blood or urine test or for x-ray pictures of certain parts of the body. This will confirm his prognosis. He’ll then suggest suitable line of treatment and prescribe medicines. Diagnosis is becoming better all the time because of new methods and machines. Computers have made a big difference in diagnosis. They, now, can store a lot of information about the patient, and can even suggest suitable lines of treatment. Many laboratory machines depend on them—without them machines like CAT, MRI or Ultrasound could not have developed at all. We also have new kinds of endoscopes (which enable us to look inside the body) and electronic sensors; therefore, getting rid of a lot of guesswork. 1.

C. tool to examine the exterior of the body. D. instrument to examine the inside of the body.

2.2. PASSAGE 2: ASTHMA Asthma is a disease of the lungs that causes wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. It can be very scary for the patient. Luckily, asthma and its effects are reversible with medication. Asthma attacks are the periods when symptoms suddenly become worse. Some common triggers for these attacks are exercise, infections, dust, tobacco smoke, allergens, cold air and nervousness. Limiting exposure to these triggers may help improve quality of life. When an asthma attack occurs, take your medication according to your asthma action plan, and wait 10 to 15 minutes if symptoms worsen or don’t improve immediate medical attention may be necessary.

II. READING PASSAGE Read the passage and answer the questions below. Joseph Lister Joseph Lister (1827-1912), British surgeon, whose discovery of antiseptics in 1865 greatly reduced the number of deaths due to operating-room infections. Born in Upton, Essex, and educated at the universities of London and Edinburgh, Lister began to study the coagulation of blood and the inflammation that resulted from injuries and surgical wounds. In 1861 he was appointed surgeon of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary in a new surgery unit designed to reduce gangrene and other infections, then thought to be caused by bad air. Despite his efforts to keep surgical instruments and rooms clean, the death rate remained close to 50 percent. Believing infections to be caused by airborne dust particles, Lister sprayed the air with carbolic acid, a chemical that was then being used to treat foul-smelling sewers. In 1865 he came upon the germ theory of the French bacteriologist Louis Pasteur, whose experiments revealed that fermentation and putrefaction were caused by micro-organisms brought in contact with organic material. By applying carbolic acid to instruments and directly to wounds and dressings, Lister reduced surgical mortality to 15 percent by 1869. Lister's discoveries in antisepsis met initial resistance, but by the 1880s they had become widely accepted. In 1897 he was made baron by Queen Victoria, who had been his patient for sometime.

Read the passage and answer the True/False questions below. Hysteroscopy has recently been performed either for diagnostic or operative purposes. Many reports confirm that operative hysteroscopy is safe and effective, but as more gynecologists perform an increasing number of procedures, we must be aware of potential complications and do our best to minimize the risk for our patients. When the AAGL surveyed its members in 1993, it found a complication rate of 2% for operative hysteroscopy. The rate of major complications such as perforation, hemorrhage, and bowel or urinary tract injury was less than 1%. Complications of operative hysteroscopy cannot be completely avoided, and may occur even when a procedure is done correctly by experienced doctors. They are far more likely if techniques or equipment are used improperly. One of the most common complications of operative hysteroscopy is uterine perforation, which is illustrated by this case. It could have been avoided if the obstetrician had stopped the procedure when bleeding first occurred, removed the instrument and allowed the uterus to contract. This is just one of the strategies that can reduce the risks of hysteroscopic surgery. We can reduce the risk of complications if attention is paid to contradictions, equipment is thoroughly checked and the surgeon goes through a mental checklist and plans each procedures. Hysteroscopy: soi tử cung Uterus: tư cung Perforation: thủng, khoan thủng 1. Hysteroscopy is always done to diagnose, not for any other purposes of treatment. 2. Operative hysteroscopy is not always safe and effective as many reports confirm. 3. It is essential for surgeons to be aware of the possibility of complications and try to reduce the risk. 4.

PART 3: Read the passage and answer the TRUE/FALSE questions below Some infections, such as measles, malaria, typhus and yellow fever, affect the entire body. Other infections, however, affect only one organ or system of the body. The most frequent local infections, including the common cold, occur in the upper respiratory tract. Other common sites of infection include the digestive tract, the lungs, the reproductive and urinary tracts, and the eyes and ears. Local infections can cause serious illnesses if they affect vital organs such as the heart, brain or liver. They also can spread through the blood stream to cause widespread symptoms. The outcome (kết thúc bệnh) of any infection depends on the number and virulence of infectious agents, and the response of the immune system. A compromised (thỏa hiệp) immune system, which can result from diseases such as AIDS or treatment of diseases such as cancer, may allow organisms that are ordinarily harmless to proliferate (sinh sản) and cause life-threatening illness.

READING WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS Read the passage and answer the question given below it. People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are "developmental", i.e., they occur prior to the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered "adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces. Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have been denied on the basis of disability. In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights. Congress responded by passing laws recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes. Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level. Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is excluded from community and social activities which might lead MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

Lately she has been experiencing numbness and occasional tingling in the feet. Is there any alternative treatment? Will her condition lead to amputation? Answer: She may be suffering from diabetic neuropathy. Prolonged _______(41) to high glucose levels can _______(42) nerve damage due to glucose oxidation. The common _______(43) of diabetic neuropathy include pain, numbness, tingling and burning sensation. The key prevention is to _______(44) her blood sugar levels at near normal levels. She may consider taking alpha lipoic acid, which protects microcirculation to nerves, making it especially effective for diabetic neuropathy. It is a recognised _______(45) for diabetic neuropathy. Increasing her _______(46) of B-vitamins may also be beneficial. B-vitamins are necessary for normal nerve function and supplementing is a good _______(47) measure. Her diet should be high in fibre and complex carbohydrates but low in simple sugars and fats. A high fibre intake may _______(48) control sugar levels as well as reduce oral anti-diabetic medication. Grains, fresh fruits and _______(49) are highly recommended. Start off with gentle exercises such as walking and cycling three times a week. Physical activity can enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glucose tolerance in those with diabetes. You should check on her feet everyday for cuts and break of the skin, injury, and toenail infection. This is because untreated injuries may _______(50) to amputation. numbness: tê; tingling: cảm giác kiến bò, kim châm; alternative: thay thế; amputation: cắt cụt chi 3.2. READING WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS Read the passage and answer the question given below it. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver due to five hepatitis viruses - A, B, C, D or E. In its early stages, the disease may be mistaken for flu, with fever, fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, muscle and joint aches. These are followed by the characteristic jaundice or yellowing of the eyes and skin due to a build-up of bile in the blood. Excessive bile can also cause severe itchiness and a darkening of urine. Hepatitis A is transmitted through contaminated food. Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood, semen, saliva and other body fluids. It is spread by blood transfusion, sharing of needles, sexual contact and other exposure to bodily fluids. Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through blood transfusion. For unknown reasons, people with alcoholic liver disease often have hepatitis C as well. Hepatitis D & E occur only in people who already have infection with hepatitis B virus and it makes the hepatitis B infection more severe. Follow a diet that is low in animal fats, oily fried foods and carbohydrates but high in dietary fibre like fruits and vegetables. All water should be boiled before drinking, and if you are traveling use bottled water. Eat home-cooked food, where you can be assured of hygiene. Alcohol and medications that are potentially toxic to the liver must be avoided. You may check with your doctor before taking any medications. Lecithin, being exceptionally rich in a compound called phosphatidylcholine, is MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

75

excellent for optimum liver function. Regular intake of high phosphatidylcholine (35 per cent) has been shown to accelerate liver regeneration in the treatment of chronic liver disease resulting from viral infection, drug poisoning or excessive alcohol consumption. Nutritional anti-free radicals such as beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and minerals zinc are essential in protecting the liver from free radical damage.

LISTENING 1: CDBA SCRIPT1:In recent years, research has suggested more health value from vitamin D than had once been thought. Vitamin D is produced naturally in the blood. Sunlight is a major source. It is also found in some foods. These include eggs, liver and some fish. Vitamin D is also found in pills. Vitamin D helps to increase levels of calcium in the blood. It helps build strong bones and teeth. It also helps in muscle development. It also appears to do more than just protect against rickets. That serious bone disease was the reason vitamin D was added to milk. Rickets is now rare in the western world. But it is still a common childhood disease in developing countries. Rickets can cause bone pain and weakness, teeth problems and muscle loss. UNIT 2: I. CLOZE TEST 1 2 1. refer which 2. 3.

CBACC- Script In California about 9,000 people will die this year because of skin cancer. There are two types of skin cancer. One type is caused by the sun. The second type of skin cancer happens when the skin cells are turned into cancer cells. Your risk for getting skin cancer depends on a number of things. Your chances are higher if you have light-colored skin, have blue eyes, are getting older, or are in the sun a lot. The survival rate for skin cancer is 80% when found and treated early. Depending on how deep the skin tumors are, different therapies can be tried. They are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Skin cancer can be prevented by staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day. Using sun block with a protective factor of at least 15 will also help. Other ways of protecting yourself would be to wear hats and long-sleeve shirts. It is also good to look at your skin each month to find any skin cancers early. Watching for any changes in your skin and staying out of the sun during peak hours are the two best ways to prevent skin cancer. UNIT 4: I.

Protect them by keeping small items out of their reach. Some foods can cause young children to choke. Round, hard foods are especially dangerous to young children. Ask your doctor if your child is old enough to have foods like hot dogs, nuts, carrots, and grapes. These foods can lodge in a child's throat and be very hard to get out. There are other safety tips you should keep in mind. Do not let your child run with anything in his or her mouth. Do not let your child lie down while eating. Never leave your baby alone with a propped up bottle. Being aware of what your child puts in his or her mouth may save his or her life. UNIT 6: I. CLOZE TEST 1 2 1. affect caused 2.

VI. LISTENING 10&11 6.1. BCADB. Scrip In September 2006 many people became sick all around the United States. Doctors were very puzzled. The doctors thought that the people had all gotten stomach flu. Then they discovered it was something worse. The doctors and health officials discovered that all of the people ate fresh spinach around the same time. The spinach that was eaten was not good. It had bacteria on it or in it called "E. coli". The E. coli bacteria cause lots of health problems. If a plant is near contaminated water it can become infected with E. coli. There are other ways E. coli can get on or into fruits and vegetables. When someone gets E. coli their symptoms are very similar to the flu. Most healthy adults can recover from it. Some people can get very sick and die from it. About 166 people in 25 states got sick from the bacteria that was in fresh spinach. Many of them had to go to the hospital because they were so sick. One person did not recover and died. The Food and Drug Administration investigated the problem. They wanted to make sure that no one was tampering with food and making people sick on purpose. They found that there was probably a problem with the way growers handled the food. They did not think there was any tampering. People were told not to eat fresh or bagged spinach while the FDA was investigating. Washing the produce will not solve the problem. They told grocery stores to throw the spinach away and not sell it. Many companies who process spinach had to throw what they had away so that no more people would get sick. Frozen and canned spinach were safe. The bacteria can not live if it is frozen or cooked at a very high heat in a can. It is not known where exactly the outbreak started. Other outbreaks were caused by water that was contaminated by cow waste and other things. The state of California is trying to figure out where the problem started. Knowing where the spinach came from helps investigators figure out how it became contaminated. MEDICAL ENGLISH 2 – WORKBOOK – [email protected]

The Food and Drug Administration said that it warned California farmers to do more to make _______(18) sure their spinach and lettuce was safe to eat. Since 1995 there have been 20 cases of spinach or lettuce contaminated with E. coli. Food growers in California and other states wanted to _______(19) prevent this from happening again. They put together new guidelines for produce growers. The guidelines are like rules that produce growers should follow when planting, _______(20) picking, and packaging food. The plan is designed to protect food from E. coli so that people do not get sick again. 6.2. 1minor 2 untreated. 3 antibiotic 4injury 5 ocean 6 soap. 7 iodine.8 remove 9ointment 10 daily UNIT 8: I.

AIDS program and other groups wanted to bring greater attention to the needs of children affected by AIDS. The report on the "Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS" campaign says there are signs of progress. One of the biggest problems is the spread of HIV from mothers to children. Mother-to-child transmission was the main cause of the estimated half-million new infections last year in children under the age of fifteen. UNICEF reports that several countries in eastern and southern Africa have made what it calls breakthroughs. It says they greatly increased the number of mothers who receive antiretroviral drugs. These medicines can prevent mother-to-child transmission. For example, the report says Namibia increased coverage from six percent of mothers to twentynine percent. That was between two thousand four and two thousand five. And in South Africa, it says, the number rose during that same period from twenty-two percent of mothers to thirty percent. However, the report says there are still far too many pregnant women infected with HIV who do not get antiretroviral treatment. Only nine percent of them in poor countries were getting the medicines in two thousand five. UNIT 10: I.

6.2. CBBBD Script In 1970, a man was mowing his lawn. He felt a pain in his throat. He saw a little bit of blood. The man said that he was not too worried, but a few hours later it really started to hurt. The next day, the man said that it felt like he had a hot knife cutting him when he coughed. He also had a high fever. His family rushed him to the hospital. The doctors found a small nail that had embedded itself in the man’s rib cage. Doctors gave the man some medicine to help fight an infection. They said that he should be okay. They thought that the nail would seal itself off in his body. They did not think that he needed surgery to remove the nail. More than 35 years after the incident, doctors saw the nail again in the man’s body. The nail was no longer in his rib cage. It was now in his lung. Doctors decided that the nail needed to be removed. They made the 84- year old man an appointment to have it taken out. Before the day of the appointment, the man was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. He said that he felt a tickle in his throat. He started coughing. The nail popped right out. Doctors said that the man is doing fine. They do not think that the nail caused any damage to his health. VI. TERMINOLOGY 1. KEYS 1 2 3 4 B
