Explanation:

Giant cell arteritis (aka temporal arteritis) occurs almost exclusively in patients over 55 years of age. The classic clinical findings are fever, anemia, high ESR, and headache. Other anifestations may include malaise, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, sweat, and arthralgias. Headache may be associated with a tender, thickened, or nodular temporal artery. Diagnosis often is made clinically and can be confirmed by a temporal artery biopsy. Patients respond well to glucocorticoid therapy.

Ninety percent of patients are women in childbearing years and the disease is more common in African Americans. Multiple organ system manifestations can occur, including musculoskeletal (arthralgias, myalgias), cutaneous (malar rash, photosensitivity, hair loss), renal (nephritis, nephritic syndrome), nervous (seizures, headaches), cardiopulmonary (pericarditis, pleuritis), hematologic (anemia, leukopenia)

  9. sarcoidosis

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Rheumatoid arthritis affects approximately 0.8% of the population. Women are affected three times more often than men. Synovial inflammation causes tenderness, swelling, and limitation of motion. Most often the arthritis is symmetric and characteristically involves joints such as the wrist and the proximal interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints.

question 8 - can cloudtrail be used for storing jobs? based on aws - aws cloudtrail is used for governance, compliance and investigating api usage across all of our aws accounts. every action that is taken by a user or script is an api call so this is logged to [aws] cloudtrail. something seems incorrect here.
