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.

Q: The clinical significance of the hepatitis B virus core-related antigen (HBcrAg) assay in monitoring the antiviral effects of lamivudine is reviewed.', 'The HBcrAg assay simultaneously measured serum levels of hepatitis B core (HBc) and e (HBe) antigens using monoclonal antibodies which recognize common epitopes of these two denatured antigens.', 'Although serum HBcrAg levels correlated linearly with those of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in natural course, the decrease in HBcrAg was significantly slower than in HBV DNA after initiation of lamivudine administration. We analyzed the clinical significance of HBV DNA and HBcrAg levels to predict the occurrence of lamivudine resistance. HBV DNA measurement may be useful to identify patients who are at high risk of developing lamivudine resistance, and HBcrAg measurement may help to detect patients who are at low risk of drug resistance. The measurement of HBcrAg was also found to be a useful prognosticator for reactivation of hepatitis after cessation of lamivudine administration.

A: Is hepatitis B core-related antigen assay useful for monitoring the antiviral effects of nucleoside analogue therapy?

Q: The author addresses whether the face bow is irrelevant for all types of prosthetic work and for planning orthognathic surgery.', 'The author searched electronic databases to find studies whose investigators used the strongest clinical evidence (that is, randomized clinical trials) and studies whose investigators incorporated the use of cinefluorography. The author found 13 studies and 1 Internet video that provided strong evidence to support the irrelevancy of the face bow transfer.', 'Evidence indicates that the face bow has nothing\xa0to do with speech, the fit and comfort of the prostheses, ridge morphology, facial contours, the color of\xa0the teeth and denture bases, the arrangement of the artificial teeth, chewing efficiency stability, and the psychological aspects of prosthodontic treatment. The cinefluorographic example showed that there was no condylar axis\xa0of rotation\xa0during functional activity, a sawing action of the\xa0mandibular incisors during the incising of\xa0toast and\xa0the\xa0mandible moving in a back and forth,\xa0rocking\xa0chair-like movement during functional activity.

A: Is the face bow irrelevant for making prostheses and planning orthognathic surgery?

Q: Records of patients who had repair of sinus venosus defect (SVD) between 1970 and 2008 were reviewed to predict very long-term outcome.', 'Repairs occurred in 104 consecutive patients (51 men), aged 29 +/- 23 years (range, 1 to 70 years). Seven had isolated SVD and 97 had associated lesions that required concomitant operations. Five patients had preoperative arrhythmias; 24 (23%) were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III to V. Single-patch repair was done in 91 patients, caval translocation (Warden) in 7, and double-patch in 6.', 'Ten late deaths during 38 years of follow-up (mean, 15 +/- 20 years). Survival was 97% +/- 2% and 79% +/- 7% at 10 and 30 years. Thirty-one (29%) long-term survivors experienced 47 complications, including chronic/recurrent supraventricular tachycardia in 28, heart failure in 5, permanent pacing in 8, cerebrovascular accident in 3, and unrelated cardiac reoperation in 3. At 30 years, freedom from adverse cardiac events was 47% +/- 9%, from supraventricular tachycardia, 50% +/- 9%; from permanent pacing, 83 +/- 6%; and from cerebrovascular accident, 96% +/- 2%. Follow-up age was 42 +/- 23 years (range, 5 to 82 years); 74 patients (79%) were in NYHA class I, and 15 and 5 were in class II and III to IV, respectively. Baseline cardiac rhythm was sinus in 75 patients (84%), atrial fibrillation in 11 (12%), and paced in 8. Nine patients had moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension, and 8 had left ventricular dysfunction. Only older age at operation was associated with lower survival (p = 0.003), freedom from cardiac events (p = 0.001), supraventricular tachycardia (p = 0.009), and permanent pacing (p = 0.002). Repair before age 20 was associated with lower NYHA class at follow-up (p = 0.01).

A:
Does age at repair affect the very long-term outcome of sinus venosus defect?
