You are a physiologist on a space flight to a distant planet. You discover intelligent humanoid aliens inhabiting the planet and they willingly submit to your tests. You discover that the alien's kidneys handle substance X just like human kidneys handle inulin. You also test the alien for its renal handling of substance Y. The data from that experiment are: Plasma substance X concentration: 5 g/100ml; Plasma substance Y concentration: 2 g/100ml; 24 hour urine: 2 liters, containing 150 g substance X and 100 g substance Y. 1) What is the alien's glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? 2) What is the alien's urine clearance rate for substance Y? 3) Assuming substance Y is 100% filtered in the alien’s kidney glomerulus, is there a net reabsorption or net secretion of substance Y in its renal tubules?.

Unfortunately, many tobacco smokers diagnosed with cancer do not stop smoking, which increases their risk of mortality. A randomized controlled trial was performed to determine if extended use of varenicline should be used to treat tobacco use among cancer patients. Varenicline is a prescription medication used to treat nicotine addiction.
Using data from the following table, answer the questions that follow. Be careful…the primary outcome is a beneficial thing (smoking abstinence at 24 weeks).
