Given a passage, 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.

Input: Consider Input: This study addresses the potential utility of preoperative functional imaging with magnetoencephalography (MEG) for the selection of glioma patients who are likely to benefit from resective surgical treatment regarding postoperative morbidity.', 'One hundred and nineteen patients with gliomas adjacent to sensorimotor, visual and speech related brain areas were investigated preoperatively with a MAGNES II biomagnetometer. In each patient the pre-surgical evaluation was focussed on the visual, sensorimotor cortex and/or of the speech related brain areas. A grading system was then used according to the distance of the MEG activation sources to the nearest tumour border to determine the further treatment. The therapeutic options consisted in conservative treatment, stereotactic biopsy and/or a radiation and chemotherapy, substantial cytoreduction and the gross total removal of the lesion.', 'From 119 investigated patients, 55 patients (46.2%) were not considered for surgery due to tumour invasion to functional cortex. Sixty four patients (53.8%) were chosen for resective surgery. In the surgical group only four patients (6.2%) suffered from neurological deterioration.

Output: Does magnetic source imaging support clinical decision making in glioma patients?


Input: Consider Input: It is well established that African Americans (AA) experience greater pain associated with a variety of clinical conditions, and greater pain sensitivity to experimental pain tasks relative to non-Hispanic Whites (W). Notably, African Americans do not show the same relationships involving endogenous pain regulatory mechanisms and pain sensitivity documented in Caucasians, including positive associations between blood pressure, norepinephrine, cortisol and greater pain tolerance.', 'The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between plasma oxytocin (OT) and pain sensitivity and to explore the relation of OT to other factors known to influence pain perception.', 'OT concentration and sensitivity to ischemic, cold pressor, and thermal pain tasks were assessed in African American (n=25) and non-Hispanic White (n=23) pre-menopausal women.', 'African American women demonstrated significantly lower pain tolerance across tasks compared with Whites (F(1,46)=6.31, p=0.0156) and also exhibited lower plasma OT levels (AA: 3.90, W: 7.05 pg/mL; p=0.0014). Greater OT levels were correlated with greater tolerance to ischemic pain (r=0.36, p=0.013) and accounted for a marginally significant portion of the ethnic difference in ischemic pain tolerance (B=+0.29, p=0.06). Greater OT was also correlated with greater tolerance of cold pressor pain (r=0.31, p=0.03); however, this association was no longer seen after the variance due to ethnicity was accounted for.

Output: Is ethnicity associated with alterations in oxytocin relationships to pain sensitivity in women?


Input: Consider Input: Allergic asthma is an inflammatory lung disease caused by a T(H)2-driven immune response. However, intranasal exposures to soluble antigen lead to mucosal tolerance, and the mechanism involved in generation of T(H)2 responses to inert inhaled allergens is unknown.', 'The aim of this study was to investigate whether CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells can contribute to the induction of T(H)2-dependent allergic asthma in a mouse model.', 'To investigate the effect of NKT cells on the development of asthma, NKT cell ligand, alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGC), was used with antigens. We intranasally sensitized Balb/c mice with various combinations of antigen and alphaGC for 3 consecutive days and challenged them 2 weeks later with an aerosol of ovalbumin. NKT cell-deficient or T(H) cell-deficient mice were immunized by administering ovalbumin and alphaGC together, and ovalbumin inhalation.', 'Only when immunized with ovalbumin plus alphaGC, airway hyperreactivity, airway eosinophils, elevated IgE level, and T(H)2-cytokine production were observed in Balb/c mice. Ovalbumin alone, alphaGC alone, or BSA plus alphaGC-immunized mice did not induce asthma. Studies in NKT cell-deficient, or CD4(+) T-cell-deficient mice intranasally exposed to ovalbumin plus alphaGC did not show the development of asthma. An increase of NKT cells in bronchoalveolar lavage was observed in the pathologic states.


Output: Is asthma induced by intranasal coadministration of allergen and natural killer T-cell ligand in a mouse model?
