A32 year old g1p0 at 33 weeks ega comes into the emergency department complaining of a severe headache. she has contractions every 3 minutes. she is experiencing flashes of light in front of her eyes. her pregnancy has been uncomplicated until this time, and her only medical problem is mild asthma. her vital signs are: t 36.5 c (97.7 f), bp 172/114, p 78, r 14, and a room air spo2 99%. her lungs have bilateral crackles at the bases, and her cervix is dilated at 3 cm and effaced at 50%. her urinalysis has 2+ protein, and her complete blood count shows: wbc 8,000/mm3, hematocrit 38%, platelets 215,000/mm3. her bun and creatinine are normal, her ast is 250 u/l, and her alt is 316 u/l. the electronic fetal monitor shows a reactive and variable heart tracing at a rate in the 150s. what is the appropriate next step in management for her?

Poliovirus is an rna virus of the picornavirus group, which uses its rna as mrna. at its 5' end, the rna genome has a viral protein (vpg) instead of a cap. this is followed by anontranslated leader sequence, and then a single long protein-coding region (~7000 nucleotides), followed by a poly-a tail. observations were made that used radioactive amino acid analogues. short period use of the radioactive amino acids result in labeling of only very long proteins, while longer periods of labeling result in several different short polypeptides. what conclusion is most consistent with the results of the radioactive labeling experiment? a) host cell ribosomes only translate the viral code into short polypeptides. b) the rna is only translated into a single long polypeptide, which is then cleaved into shorter ones. c) the rna is translated into short polypeptides, which are subsequently assembled into large ones. d) the large radioactive polypeptides are coded by the host, whereas the short ones are coded for by the virus.
