Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most recently developed operative procedure, which is now the most common treatment for cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, is done by way of endoscopy. It is called laparoscopic cholecystectomy and uses laser cautery to remove the gallbladder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The buildup of ammonia can be prevented with the use of lactulose (Chronulac) and neomycin. Ammonia is produced in the gut by bacterial action. By reducing the bacteria, less ammonia is produced.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
