A 12-month-old girl is brought to the emergency department for evaluation of fever.  Two days prior to admission the patient developed a fever to 39.1⁰C (102.3⁰F) and became irritable with nasal discharge and decreased oral intake.  His birth history is unremarkable.  He lives at home with his mother and 6-year-old brother, who attends elementary school where several kids have been absent recently for illness.  His heart rate is 137/min, blood pressure is 72/48 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 35/min, and rectal temperature is 39.3⁰C (102.7⁰F).  Neurologic examination is remarkable for a lethargic-appearing child who is responsive to stimulation.  His anterior fontanel is open and bulging.  The resident caring for the patient is certain that he has acute bacterial meningitis and orders a lumbar puncture.  Which of the cerebrospinal fluid results from the lumbar puncture in the table below would be most consistent with acute bacterial meningitis?   Choice Pressure (cm H₂O) WBC Count (/mm³)(predominant cells) Protein (mg/dL) Glucose (mg/dL) A 6.0 2 (lymphocytes) 30 70 B 22.8 3780 (polymorphonuclear leukocytes) 327 32 C 11.5 980 (mononuclear cells) 123 62 D 12.3 300 (mononuclear cells) 194 42 E 9.7 415 (lymphocytes) 138 69

A 25-year-old woman is brought to the ER by ambulance after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure at home. She has had headache, neck stiffness and fever for the past several days and has been somewhat confused and not acting like herself. The patient stops seizing with institution of anticonvulsant therapy. A lumbar puncture is performed. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reveals 10 WBCs (normal 0-4) with a lymphocytic predominance, 76 red blood cells (normal 0), a protein level of 63 mg/dL (normal 15-45), and a normal glucose level. The opening pressure was slightly elevated. An electroencephalogram (EEG) shows sharp wave discharges in the temporal lobes. These findings are most likely to result from infection by what organism?

The following numbers are inserted into an empty binary search tree (BST) in the given order:  7, 18, 4, 3, 6, 8, 22, 13, 11, 28   a. After each insertion, how many times does the resulting tree become a full binary tree? [full] b Left to right Level order traversal of the BST after all the items inserted in the above order [insertion] c. The number of internal (non-leaf) nodes in this tree created in Step b. [internal] d. Left to right Level order traversal of the BST after deleting node 4 in this tree created in Step b with prioritisation of  inorder predecessor replacement for the two child case  [deletion]   Note: Please separate your answer with one whitespace, e.g. 1 2 3 4 …. and any valid replacement for deletion is acceptable.
