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.

Ex Input:
Context: This study evaluated two surgical procedures, total splenectomy and spleen-preserving surgery, for the treatment of spleen cystic echinococcosis (CE).', 'A total of 21 patients who underwent surgery for removal of spleen CE were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups, those who received a total splenectomy (n=7) and those who underwent spleen-preserving surgery (n=14).', 'Total splenectomy surgery took 127.1±11.1min and spleen-preserving surgery took 104.3±25.3min (p<0.05). The length of hospital stay was the same for both patient groups (10.6 days on average). No patient suffered from recurrence during follow-up and all of the patients made a good recovery. No patient developed post-splenectomy sepsis or serious infectious complications. No patient suffered recurrence.
Answer: The spleen-saving approach is likely an effective method for the removal of CE spleen cysts given that it is a quick procedure and preserves the function of the spleen. Total splenectomy procedures may be performed particularly for larger, centrally located cysts.

Ex Output:
Is spleen-preserving surgery effective for the treatment of spleen cystic echinococcosis?

Context: There is a strong association between migraine and depression. The aim of this study is to identify migraine-specific factors involved in this association.', 'We conducted a cross-sectional study in a large, well-defined cohort of migraine patients (n=2533). We assessed lifetime depression using validated questionnaires, and diagnosed migraine based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders III-beta criteria. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted.', 'Of the 2533 migraineurs that were eligible, 1137 (45%) suffered from lifetime depression. The following independent factors were associated with an increased depression prevalence: i) migraine-specific risk factors: high migraine attack frequency and the presence of allodynia, ii) general factors: being a bad sleeper, female gender, high BMI, being single, smoking, and a low alcohol consumption.
Answer: This study identified allodynia, in addition to high migraine attack frequency, as a new migraine-specific factor associated with depression.

Ex Output:
Is allodynia associated with a higher prevalence of depression in migraine patients?

Context: The aim of this study was to investigate the response of the growth hormone (GH) in rat anterior pituitary to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and its modulation by hypothalamic somatostatin (SS).', 'To observe the hypoxic response, rats were exposed to simulated altitude hypoxia (2 km or 5 km) in a hypobaric chamber for various days (4 h/d); to clarify SS-involvement, rats were pretreated with SS antagonist (cysteamine, CSH, 200 mg/kg/d, s.c.) then exposed to IH (5 km) for 2d. The GH mRNA and immunostaining GH in pituitary as well as immunostaining SS in median eminence (ME) of hypothalamus were assayed by RT-PCR and immuno-histochemistry, respectively.', 'IH of 5 km altitude (IH5) markedly suppressed the body weight gain (BWG) of rats from 1d to 10d, and it was returned to control level henceforth, while no significant influence was showed in the group of IH of 2 km altitude (IH2). IH5 for 2 and 5d significantly decreased GH mRNA expression in the pituitary. The pituitary immunostaining GH was remarkably increased in groups of IH2 for 5, 10, and 15 d, and in groups of IH5 for 2, 5, and 10d. Immunostaining SS in ME was significantly reduced in group of IH2 for 5d, and in groups of IH5 for 2d and 5d. Pretreatments (s.c.) with SS antagonist (CSH) significantly reversed IH5-caused increase of immunostaining GH and reduction of mRNA levels in pituitary.
Answer: IH may cause a short-term and recoverable suppression of GH release, and reduce GH mRNA expression in anterior pituitary, which may depend on the intensity and duration of the hypoxia. This suppression may be due to a modulation of hypoxia-activated SS.

Ex Output:

Does intermittent hypoxia cause a suppressed pituitary growth hormone through somatostatin?
