"The skin changes seen in the following two photographs are most likely the result of
$$mechanical trauma%%thermal injury^^profound vascular narrowing&&bacterial infection",
"Mr. Jones died suddenly five days after having a myocardial infarction. He had been doing well, although about twenty-four hours before he died he became aphasic and flacid on the right side.
The following picture is of his spleen. Microscopic examination of these splenic lesions is most likely to show
$$acute inflammation%%coagulation necrosis^^granulomatous inflammation&&scar",
"Considering the previous question and photograph, the most likley underlying cause for Mr. Jones terminal event was$$extension of his myocardial infarction%%sudden thrombosis of a middle cerebral artery^^heart failure secondary to decreased pumping capacity&&embolization of mural thrombus",
"Mrs. Herbert is a 74 year old woman who died with congestive heart failure. Microscopic sections of her liver (gross photo of liver shown below) would reveal
$$central vein and sinusoidal congestion%%absence of bile ducts^^normal architecture&&periportal inflammation",
"Mr. Filmore is a 78 year old widower with know history of congestive heart failure. His condition had been in reasonably good control for several months. He was found dead in his apartment by his daughter.

"All of the following distinguish an exudate from a transudate. However, the one that is of the greatest clinical consequence is$$protein content%%its reason for being^^specific gravity&&cell count"
