Question 2

  b. The doctor uses a probe with an antenna that releases microwave energy to heat and coagulate prostatic tissue.

Answer to Question 1

C
Stress increases the gastric secretions, which irritate and finally ulcerate the gastric mucosal lin-ing.

Answer to Question 2

B
The TUMT procedure uses heat to coagulate the prostatic tissue with a probe. A resectoscope trims excess tissue in a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) . A transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) uses a cystoscope to guide needles directly into the prostate. A transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TUVP) vaporizes and desiccates prostatic tissue.
