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 purpose was to investigate whether patient-specific factors (PSF) and surgically modifiable factors (SMF), measured by means of a computer-assisted navigation system, can predict the Knee Society Scores (KSS) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).', 'Data from 99 patients collected during a randomized clinical trial were used for this secondary data analysis. The KSS scores of the patients were measured preoperatively and at 4-years follow-up. Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate which combination of variables would be the best to predict the 4-years KSS scores.', 'When considering SMF alone the combination of four of them significantly predicted the 4-years KSS-F score (p\u2009=\u20090.009), explaining 18\xa0% of its variation. When considering only PSF the combination of age and body weight significantly predicted the 4-years KSS-F (p\u2009=\u20090.008), explaining 11\xa0% of its variation. When considering both groups of predictors simultaneously the combination of three PSF and two SMF significantly predicted the 4-years KSS-F (p\u2009=\u20090.007), explaining 20\xa0% of its variation.

[Q]: Psychomotor abnormalities characterize both unipolar (UP) depression and bipolar (BP) depression. We aimed to assess their neurobiological correlates in terms of motor activity (AL) and resting-state cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and investigate their association in BP, UP, and healthy controls (HC).', 'We enrolled 42 depressed patients (22 BP, 20 UP) and 19 HC matched for age, gender, education, income. AL and rCBF were objectively assessed with the use of wrist actigraphy and arterial spin labeling. Group differences and the association of AL and rCBF were computed.', 'Activity level was significantly reduced in patients, but no difference was found between BP and UP. Increased perfusion was found in BP compared with UP and HC, in multiple brain areas. We found positive correlations of rCBF and AL in BP and UP, in different parts of the insula and frontal regions. Only BP showed a cluster in the left precentral gyrus. In HC, only inverse correlations of AL and rCBF were found.
[A]: Do distinct resting-state perfusion patterns underlie psychomotor retardation in unipolar vs. bipolar depression?


[Q]: Chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by a remodeling process which involves the development of fibrosis. Since angiotensin II has been suspected to be involved in this process, the aim of our study was to investigate a possible influence of an ACE-I therapy in patients with chronic AF regarding the occurrence of left atrial structural remodeling.', 'Atrial tissue samples were obtained from patients with lone chronic AF or sinus rhythm (SR). Collagen I, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) protein expression were measured by quantitative Western Blotting techniques and calculated as mean +/- SEM. Histological tissue samples were used for calculating microvessel density (microvessel/mm(2) +/- SEM).', 'In AF, the collagen amount was higher (1.78 +/- 0.21; p = 0.01) vs. SR (0.37 +/- 0.07) accompanied by declining microcapillary density (AF: 145 +/- 13 vs. SR: 202 +/- 9; p = 0.01). Additionally, a negative correlation (p = 0.01) between collagen content and microcapillary density was observed. To investigate the influence of an ACE-I therapy on this remodeling process, patient groups were divided into AF and SR both with or without ACE-I. Interestingly, there was a significantly lower expression of collagen I in AF with ACE-I (1.04 +/- 0.26) vs. AF without ACE-I treatment (2.07 +/- 0.24, p = 0.02). The microcapillaries were not diminished in AF with ACE-I (180 +/- 15) vs. SR with ACE-I (196 +/- 9), but there was a significant rarification in AF without ACE-I (123 +/- 18; p = 0.03). The expression of VEGF and bFGF did not reveal any significant differences.
