The answer is the first one (A): "Tapping into" or perforating procedures.

Explanation for each option:

A. "Tapping into" or perforating procedures

  • Correct. Amniocentesis, thoracentesis, and paracentesis all involve the insertion of a needle or catheter to withdraw fluid from a body cavity. Amniocentesis involves extracting amniotic fluid, thoracentesis involves removing fluid from the pleural space around the lungs, and paracentesis involves removing fluid from the abdominal cavity.

B. Surgical procedures designed to remove lung tissue

  • Incorrect. These procedures do not involve the removal of lung tissue. They are primarily used to withdraw fluid for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

C. Therapeutic procedures for lung diseases

  • Incorrect. While thoracentesis can be used to treat conditions related to the lungs, amniocentesis and paracentesis are not specifically for lung diseases. Amniocentesis is related to pregnancy, and paracentesis is related to the abdominal cavity.

D. Medical procedures to treat asthma

  • Incorrect. None of these procedures are specifically used to treat asthma. Asthma treatment typically involves medications like bronchodilators and corticosteroids.

Summary: Amniocentesis, thoracentesis, and paracentesis are all "tapping into" or perforating procedures used to withdraw fluid from different body cavities.

HIV/AIDS can be categorized as a new or emerging infectious disease. By putting it into this category, we are indicating that the disease has always been in susceptible populations and causing disease but we lacked the technology to detect it. This infection hasn't been observed in the human population prior to recent (within the last 50 years) outbreaks the infectious agent is still evolving and changing, unlike with older more established diseases such as plague or polio. This infection hasn't been observed in the human population prior to recent (within the last 5 years) outbreaks. This disease has been in susceptible populations for centuries, but has only recently achieved infection levels that became detectable.
