In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

[EX Q]: Context: Linitis plastica-type gastric carcinoma remains a disease with poor prognosis despite an aggressive surgical approach. Although a prominent pattern of disease failure is peritoneal carcinomatosis, some patients experience rapid disease progression without signs of the peritoneal disease.', 'Clinicopathologic data from 178 patients with linitis plastica-type gastric cancer operated on between 1991 and 2000 were analyzed. Survival stratified by curability of surgery, pN stage, and patterns of failure were evaluated by using the Kaplan-Meier method, and chi(2) test was used to evaluate correlation between the number of metastatic lymph nodes in terms of pN categories and the incidence of various patterns of metastasis and recurrence. Cox regression hazard model was used to identify independent prognostic factors.', 'R0 resection was performed only among 82 patients (46% of those who underwent laparotomy). Node metastasis was frequent with only 22 patients classified as pN0. Peritoneal carcinomatosis was observed in 131 patients and was the commonest pattern of recurrence. Bone metastasis, found in 13 patients, was associated with poor outcome, and its incidence was significantly correlated with the number of metastatic nodes. pT4 status and pN3 status were identified as significant independent prognostic determinants.\Question: Is the number of metastatic lymph nodes a significant risk factor for bone metastasis and poor outcome after surgery for linitis plastica-type gastric carcinoma?
[EX A]: Treatment strategy for the linitis plastica should in general combine surgery with aggressive treatment directed toward peritoneal disease. However, patients with >16 metastatic nodes more often are associated with bone metastasis than those with modest nodal involvement and suffer from poor prognosis.

[EX Q]: Context: To investigate the impact of prophylactic hyperoxic ventilation with Fio2 0.6 on the physiologic limit of acute normovolemic anemia.', 'Prospective, controlled, randomized experimental study.', 'Experimental animal laboratory of a university hospital.', 'Fourteen anesthetized domestic pigs.', 'Animals were randomly ventilated with either Fio2 0.21 (group 0.21, n = 7) or Fio2 0.6 (group 0.6, n = 7), and acute anemia was induced by isovolemic blood-for-hydroxy-ethylstarch (HES) exchange using a 6% HES solution (130/0.4).', 'The blood-for-HES-exchange was continued until a sudden decrease of total body oxygen consumption indicated the onset of oxygen supply dependency (primary end point); the corresponding hemoglobin (Hb) concentration was defined as "critical" (Hb(crit)). Secondary end points were changes in myocardial function, central hemodynamics, oxygen transport, and tissue oxygenation. Compared with room air ventilation (Fio2 0.21), hyperoxic ventilation with Fio2 0.6 enabled a larger blood-for-HES-exchange (139%, 124/156) of circulating blood volume vs. 87% (68/94, p < .05), until Hb(crit) was reached (1.5 g/dL [1.4/2.1] vs. 2.4 g/dL [2.0/2.8], p < .05). At Hb 2.4 g/dL (i.e., Hb(crit) in group 0.21), animals of group 0.6 still presented with superior oxygen transport, tissue oxygenation, and hemodynamic stability. However, hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables were found deteriorated more severely at Hb 1.5 g/dL (i.e., Hb(crit) of group 0.6) compared with group 0.21 at Hb 2.4 g/dL.\Question: Does hyperoxic ventilation increase the tolerance of acute normovolemic anemia in anesthetized pigs?
[EX A]: During cell-free volume replacement, hyperoxic ventilation with Fio2 0.6 generates a readily usable plasmatic oxygen reserve and thereby increases the tolerance toward acute normovolemic anemia.

[EX Q]: Context: Cognitive decline is part of the long-term outcome for many individuals with bipolar disorder (BD). The ε4 allele (APOE*4) of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a well-established risk factor for dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its contribution to the risk of cognitive deterioration in BD has not yet been determined. Our aim was to analyze the APOE genotype association with cognitive status in a sample of older adults with BD and compare this to the association in individuals with AD, individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and healthy controls.", "Participants (n\xa0=\xa0475) were allocated to four groups: individuals with BD (n\xa0=\xa077), those with AD (n\xa0=\xa0211), those with MCI (n\xa0=\xa043), and healthy controls (n\xa0=\xa0144) according to clinical and neuropsychological assessment. APOE was genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Tukey's honest significant difference test and Pearson's chi-squared test were used to compare diagnostic groups.", 'Subjects with BD were similar to controls with respect to the distribution of the APOE genotype (p\xa0=\xa00.636) and allele frequencies (p\xa0=\xa00.481). Significant differences were found when comparing the AD group to the BD group or to controls (APOE genotype: p\xa0<\xa00.0002; allele frequencies: p\xa0<\xa00.001). APOE*4 was significantly increased in the AD group when compared to the BD group (p\xa0=\xa00.031) and controls (p\xa0<\xa00.0001). The cognitively impaired BD subgroup (Mini-Mental State Examination below the cutoff score and/or neuropsychological assessment compatible with MCI) had a statistically significant higher frequency of APOE*2 compared to the AD group (p\xa0=\xa00.003).\Question: Is apolipoprotein E genotype associated with cognitive impairment in older adults with bipolar disorder?
[EX A]:
APOE*4 is not associated with the diagnosis of BD and does not impact the occurrence of dementia in BD. Given the distinct clinical and biological features of cognitive impairment in BD, we hypothesized that dementia in BD is unrelated to AD pathological mechanisms.
