### Prions

Prions are infectious agents composed of misfolded proteins

### Father of Psychoanalysis

Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that stay within the boundaries of the original wound and tend to heal over time.

Selling Price Calculation

Profit percentage is calculated as: (Selling price - Cost price) / Cost price * 100.

### Bell Ringing

The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest non-zero number that is a multiple of both.

### Preterm Infant Sign

The Scarf sign is a sign of preterm infants where their elbows easily cross the chest without resistance when the arm is stretched.

### Wellington Trophy

The Wellington Trophy is associated with rowing.

### Number Sequence

The pattern in the sequence 78, 65, 82, 69, 86, ? is adding 14 to the first number, then subtracting 17 from the next, repeating these steps.
The next number in the sequence is 73.

### Sense of Smell
