Apgar. 4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua. I've left 5 Easy Pieces' wording of the question alone, but what they called a list of "five criteria" is really a *mnemonic* for the criteria -- derived by reinterpreting the eponym as an acronym! In her original 1952 paper, Virginia *Apgar* identified the five criteria as: heart rate, respiratory effort, reflex irritability, muscle tone, color... or in the terms of the mnemonic, "prgaa". > 2. These contractions, also known as prodromal labor, are typically > felt in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and can > indicate dehydration in the mother. What are they called? Braxton Hicks. (Both words required; I accepted "Branston".) 4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua. > It can occur in individuals with neurological or serious > conditions. Under what circumstances could a healthy person > experience this breathing pattern? Being at a high elevation. I'm also accepting sleep apnea, because it was accepted in the original game, although it doesn't exactly fit with "healthy person". 4 for Calvin. > patient has difficulty producing words, especially connected > speech; in the other the difficulty is in understanding words. > Name either. Broca, Wernicke. 4 for Dan Blum. > 5. The Coombs test is a blood test often performed on the blood > of pregnant women and donated blood samples before transfusion. > What does it test for? Blood type/compatibility. (Also accepting autoimmune blood diseases.) > 6.

With unreasonable generosity, I accepted "NY Mets" as almost correct although the full name was specifically required. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Jason, Dan Tilque, and Pete. 3 for Gareth. > 22.
