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.

[EX Q]: Diastolic runoff in the abdominal aorta, with subsequent circulatory mesenteric insufficiency, has been postulated as a cause of necrotizing enterocolitis in term infants with congenital heart disease. With this study we sought to determine whether Doppler-flow characteristics in the abdominal aorta can predict which infants are at specific risk, independent of gestational age and type of congenital heart disease.', 'We conducted a case-control study of term infants with congenital heart disease and proven necrotizing enterocolitis (n = 18) compared with gestational age-matched and diagnosis-matched control subjects (n = 20). Abdominal aortic Doppler velocities, time intervals, and reversals were analyzed. Groups were compared, and independent risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis were determined.', 'The groups were similar with regard to weight, pulse pressure, use of prostaglandins or inotropes, presence of a patent ductus arteriosus, and systolic function. However, 47% of the case subjects with necrotizing enterocolitis had persistent retrograde diastolic flow in the abdominal aorta compared with 15% of the control subjects. When adjusting for multiple risk factors, persistent diastolic flow reversal remained the only factor significantly associated with necrotizing enterocolitis.
[EX A]: Is persistent diastolic flow reversal in abdominal aortic Doppler-flow profiles associated with an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in term infants with congenital heart disease?

[EX Q]: To reach and grasp an object in space on the basis of its image cast on the retina requires different coordinate transformations that take into account gaze and limb positioning. Eye position in the orbit influences the image's conversion from retinotopic (eye-centered) coordinates to an egocentric frame necessary for guiding action. Neuroimaging studies have revealed eye position-dependent activity in extrastriate visual, parietal and frontal areas that is along the visuo-motor pathway. At the earliest vision stage, the role of the primary visual area (V1) in this process remains unclear. We used an experimental design based on pattern-onset visual evoked potentials (VEP) recordings to study the effect of eye position on V1 activity in humans.", 'We showed that the amplitude of the initial C1 component of VEP, acknowledged to originate in V1, was modulated by the eye position. We also established that putative spontaneous small saccades related to eccentric fixation, as well as retinal disparity cannot explain the effects of changing C1 amplitude of VEP in the present study.
[EX A]: Are early visual evoked potentials modulated by eye position in humans induced by whole body rotations?

[EX Q]: This study assessed modulation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) in isolated perfused rat lungs during sepsis induced by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) at different times and its relationship to nitric oxide synthases (NOS).', 'Prospective controlled trial in a university research laboratory.', '102 male Sprague-Dawley rats.', "Groups 1-3 received sham laparotomy 6 h before lung isolation: group 1, only laparotomy; group 2, concurrently L- N6-(1-iminoethyl)-lysine (L-NIL, 3 mg/kg); group 3, concurrently N(Omega)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, 5 mg/kg). Groups 4-6 received CLP 6 h before lung isolation: group 4, only CLP; group 5, concurrently L-NIL; group 6, concurrently L-NAME. The same experiments were carried out with sham and CLP treatment for 24 h (groups 7-12). Exhaled NO from rats' lungs was measured after anesthesia and tracheostomy. After the pulmonary circuit was isolated and perfused, angiotensin II (0.1 microg) was injected into the inflow tract. The lungs were ventilated with the hypoxic mixture (HPV, 3% O2) for 10 min and then again with the normoxic mixture (21% O2) for an equal period. Changes in perfusion pressure were measured. Endothelial (eNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) expression of the lungs was determined.", 'Treatment with L-NAME but not L-NIL increased HPV in sham lungs. HPV was unaltered after CLP 6 h and decreased after CLP 24 h compared to sham. In CLP animals eNOS protein expression was reduced whereas iNOS expression was increased compared to sham animals. Exhaled NO, reflecting NOS activity was twice as high in the CLP 24 h group than in the CLP 6 h group.
