Of the US workers that died from injury at work in 2005, males accounted for 93% of all deaths and had a work-related fatality rate about 12 times the rate for females. Rates increased with age. Most fatal workplace injuries were due to highway incidents, falls, being struck by an object, and homicides. To help prevent highway incidents, use seat belts, exercise highway safety, stay alert, get adequate sleep before driving, and avoid drinking and driving. Use workplace safety systems to help prevent falls and other injuries

Explanation
More men and women die from lung cancer than from any other type of cancer. Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke to lower your risk for lung cancer, heart disease, and other diseases and conditions. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men.

Explanation
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men. This is because smoking is the primary risk factor for developing lung cancer, and historically, smoking rates have been higher among men. Lung cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, making it more difficult to treat. Additionally, lung cancer tends to spread quickly to other parts of the body, further contributing to its high mortality rate.

Explanation
People with gonorrhea can more easily contract HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Also, HIV-infected people with gonorrhea are more likely to transmit HIV to someone else. Untreated gonorrhea can cause other serious and permanent health problems in both women and men, including infertility.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may or may not have symptoms. The surest way to avoid transmission of STDs is to abstain from sexual intercourse or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission of gonorrhea

Explanation
The correct answer is "all of the above." This is because all the symptoms listed - blood in the urine, frequent urination (especially at night), weak or interrupted urine flow, and the inability to urinate - can be potential symptoms of prostate cancer. It is important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Explanation
Untreated gonorrhea can result in epididymitis, which is the inflammation of the epididymis, a tube located at the back of the testicles. It can also lead to a higher risk of getting or transmitting other sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, the correct answer is "both a and b".
