Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Context: Decisions involving risk often must be made under stressful circumstances. Research on behavioral and brain differences in stress responses suggest that stress might have different effects on risk taking in males and females.', 'In this study, participants played a computer game designed to measure risk taking (the Balloon Analogue Risk Task) fifteen minutes after completing a stress challenge or control task. Stress increased risk taking among men but decreased it among women.
Answer: Acute stress amplifies sex differences in risk seeking; making women more risk avoidant and men more risk seeking. Evolutionary principles may explain these stress-induced sex differences in risk taking behavior.
Does acute stress increase sex differences in risk seeking in the balloon analogue risk task?

Context: This study had investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of a seed lectin (LAL) isolated from Lonchocarpus araripensis.', 'LAL was purified by affinity chromatography (chitin column) and ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-Sephacel). In vitro LAL was tested for hemagglutinating activity against rabbit erythrocytes. In vivo LAL was assessed for the anti-inflammatory activity via intravenous injection (i.v.) in Swiss mice (25-30 g; n = 6/group) in models of paw edema and peritonitis.', 'ANOVA (p < 0.05).', 'LAL revealed two bands of 30 and 60 kDa (SDS-PAGE) and exhibited hemagglutinating activity. LAL (10 mg/kg) inhibited the paw edema (77%) and vascular permeability (26%) induced by carrageenan, and the paw edema induced by serotonin (80%), bradykinin (49%), sodium nitroprusside (83%), TNF-α (75%) and PGE2 (64%). LAL also inhibited the neutrophil migration induced by fMLP (70%) or carrageenan (69%). The intravital microscopy showed that LAL inhibited rolling (83%) and adhesion (70%) of leukocytes. LAL anti-inflammatory effect was reversed by its association with N-acetyl-glucosamine. The nine-daily treatment with LAL (10 mg/kg; i.v.) showed no toxicity.
Answer: The novel N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-binding lectin isolated from L. araripensis seeds presents anti-inflammatory effect involving the lectin domain and the inhibition of 5-HT, BK, PGE2, NO, TNF-α and leukocyte rolling and adhesion.
Does a novel N-acetyl-glucosamine lectin of Lonchocarpus araripensis attenuate acute cellular inflammation in mice?

Context: The outcome of cardiac surgical patients with clinically diagnosed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) was studied.', 'Retrospective, observational study.', 'University hospital.', 'All cardiac surgical patients with diagnosed HIT after cardiac surgery between January 2002 and December 2004, and concurrently, consecutive patients without HIT.', 'None Measurements and Main Results: 3465 patients were treated postoperatively in the cardiac surgical intensive care unit during the study period. Clinical suspicion of HIT arose when platelet count markedly fell several days after surgery and HIT was proven by a positive enzyme immunoassay in 20 patients. Thrombocytopenia (35.5 [22] x 10(9)/L, median [interquartile range]) developed within 7 (6) days. HIT patients received significantly more platelet transfusions perioperatively than controls (p < 0.001). Thromboembolic complications occurred in 70% of HIT patients, but in none of non-HIT patients (14/20 v 0/20, p = 0.001). Intensive care unit stay was longer in HIT patients than in controls (16.5 [11.0] v 1.0 [3.0] days, p < 0.001). Nine HIT patients died (45%), while all control patients survived. Mortality was related to thrombotic complications in seven HIT patients (35%).
Answer: The incidence of HIT in association with low-molecular-weight heparin use after cardiac surgery was low. HIT was associated with perioperative platelet transfusions and carried a remarkably high risk of thromboembolic complications and death. In order to reduce morbidity and mortality, early recognition of heparin-associated antiplatelet antibodies and alternative anticoagulation strategies need to be implemented.

Is heparin-induced thrombocytopenia following cardiac surgery associated with poor outcome?
