What are two of the primary ways in which N. gonorrhoeae spreads?
Choose 2 answers.

A. Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for hyperlipidemia due to the associated abnormalities in lipid metabolism, leading to elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.

B. Vascular damage can be a consequence of hyperlipidemia but is not a risk factor itself.

C. Overexertion is not a recognized risk factor for hyperlipidemia.

D. Gastric ulceration is unrelated to lipid metabolism and does not contribute to hyperlipidemia.

E. Hypercoagulability refers to an increased tendency for blood clotting, which is not directly related to lipid levels in the blood.

F. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder that leads to extremely high levels of cholesterol in the blood, significantly increasing the risk of hyperlipidemia and associated cardiovascular diseases.

A. A complication of a medical or surgical procedure: This describes an iatrogenic pneumothorax, not a primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

B. A wound that allows air into the pleural cavity but not out: This describes a tension pneumothorax, not a primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

C. No underlying lung disease and no inciting event: A primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs without any apparent cause or underlying lung disease, often in healthy individuals, especially young, tall, thin men.

D. Underlying lung disease as well as air entering the pleural space via ruptured blebs: This describes a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax, not a primary one.
