TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.
PROBLEM: Context: It has been shown that maternal mental health is associated with poorer skills development in the offspring. However, the evidence evaluating the association between social anxiety disorder (SAD) and cognitive or language development, is scarce.', 'To evaluate the association between maternal SAD and performance in cognitive and language tests in 30-month old children.', 'This was a cohort study involving young women evaluated since pregnancy.', 'We evaluated 520 mother-child dyads who received prenatal medical assistance through the National Public Health System in a southern Brazilian city, from October 2009 to March 2011.', 'We used the Mini Neuropsychiatric Interview Plus (MINI Plus) to assess SAD among young mothers. Cognitive and language performance in their offspring was analyzed using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - 3rd Edition.', 'We found an association between maternal SAD and performance in cognitive and language tests. Children of mothers with SAD had in average 4.5 less points in the Bayley scale, when compared to those with mothers without SAD: in the cognitive (β=-4.53 [95% CI -7.8; -1.1] p=0.008) and language subscales (β=-4.54 [95% CI -9.0; -0.5] p=0.047).\Question: Is cognitive and language performance in children associated with maternal social anxiety disorder : A study of young mothers in southern Brazil?

SOLUTION: Our findings suggest that children with mothers suffering from SAD have poorer cognitive abilities and language skills.

PROBLEM: Context: To evaluate the efficacy of continuous low-level heat wrap therapy for the treatment of various sources of wrist pain including strain and sprain (SS), tendinosis (T), osteoarthritis (OA), and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).', 'Prospective, randomized, parallel, single-blind (investigator), placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial.', 'Two community-based research facilities.', 'Ninety-three patients (age range, 18-65 y) with wrist pain.', 'Subjects with moderate or greater wrist pain were randomized and stratified to 1 of the following treatments: efficacy evaluation (heat wrap, n=39; oral placebo, n=42) or blinding (oral acetaminophen, n=6; unheated wrap, n=6). Data were recorded over 3 days of treatment and 2 days of follow-up.', 'The primary comparison was between the heat wrap and the oral placebo group among SS/T/OA subjects for pain relief. Outcome measures included pain relief (0-5 scale), joint stiffness (101-point numeric rating scale), grip strength measured by dynamometry, and perceived pain and disability (Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation [PRWE]); subjects with CTS also completed the Symptom Severity Scale and Functional Status Scale.', 'Heat wrap therapy showed significant benefits in day 1 to 3 mean pain relief (P=.045) and increased day 3 grip strength (P=.02) versus oral placebo for the SS/T/OA group. However, joint stiffness and PRWE results were comparable between the 2 treatments. For the CTS group, heat wraps provided greater day 1 to 3/hour 0 to 8 mean pain relief (P=.001), day 1 to 3 mean joint stiffness reduction (P=.004), increased day 3 grip strength (P=.003), reduced PRWE scores (P=.0015), reduced symptom severity (P=.001), and improved functional status (P=.04). In addition, the heat wrap showed significant extended benefits through follow-up (day 5) in the CTS group.\Question: Is continuous low-level heat wrap therapy effective for treating wrist pain?

SOLUTION: Continuous low-level heat wrap therapy was efficacious for the treatment of common conditions causing wrist pain and impairment.

PROBLEM: Context: In order to determine the synergistic effects of human placental mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs) on hematopoiesis in vivo, we compared the intrabone marrow injection (IBMI) with the conventional intravenous injection (IVI).', 'C57BL/6 recipient mice conditioned with lethal doses of irradiation were transplanted with bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from BALB/c mice by IBMI or IVI. NOD/SCID recipient mice conditioned with sublethal doses of irradiation were transplanted with human umbilical cord blood MNCs (UCB-MNCs) and PMSCs by IBMI or IVI.', 'The number of hematopoietic cells was significantly higher in mice transplanted with BMSCs by IBMI than in those transplanted by IVI in a murine transplantation model (BALB/c→C57BL/6). Moreover, the percentage of human hematopoietic cells in the tibiae of the NOD/SCID mice that were transplanted with PMSCs plus UCB-MNCs was higher than that in mice transplanted with UCB-MNCs alone. In addition, in mice that were transplanted with PMSCs, PMSCs injected by IBMI were more efficient than those injected by IVI.\Question: Does intrabone marrow injection enhance placental mesenchymal stem cellmediated support of hematopoiesis in mice?

SOLUTION:
Our results not only elucidated the role of PMSCs in promoting hematopoiesis, but also revealed the therapeutic potential of the combination of PMSCs and IBMI in transplantation.
