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 aim of this study was to develop an assay system that can quantify the amount of biomass in biofilms formed by different isogenic mutants of an Escherichia coli K-12 strain.', 'The reported assay, which is based on the BacTiter-Glo assay from Promega, uses bioluminescence to detect the intracellular concentration of ATP, which correlates with viable bacterial cell numbers. The quantitative data obtained with this ATP assay were compared to those obtained with the conventional crystal violet assay. As a qualitative control, scanning electron microscopy was performed.

A: Does a combination of assays reveal biomass differences in biofilms formed by Escherichia coli mutants?

Q: Traditionally cerebellar functions are thought to be related to control of tone, posture, gait, and coordination of skilled motor activity. However, there is an increasing body of evidence implicating the cerebellum in cognition, language, memory, and motor learning. Preterm infants are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental delay, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioral and emotional disturbances. The role of the cerebellum in these adverse outcomes is unclear.', 'The objective of this study was to determine whether absolute cerebellar volumes differ between term-equivalent preterm infants and term-born control infants and to assess whether cerebellar volume is influenced by any possible antenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors.', 'The study compared the MR imaging cerebellar volume by using a manual quantification program of 113 preterm infants at term-equivalent age and 15 term-born control infants.', 'The median cerebellar volume of preterm at term-equivalent age was 25.4 cm3 and that of term-born control infants was 26.9 cm3. On initial analysis, there was a significant median difference of 2.0 cm3 (95% CI, 1.2 cm3 to 2.7 cm3) (2-sided P < .0001). However multiple regression analysis of perinatal variables showed that only infants with supratentorial lesions (P = .003) were significantly associated with the reduction in cerebellar volumes. The median cerebellar volumes were the following: supratentorial lesions, 18.9 cm3; no supratentorial lesions, 26.1 cm3; and term infants, 26.9 cm3 (analysis of variance, P < .0001). Hence, there was no significant difference in cerebellar volumes of preterm infants at term-equivalent age in the absence of supratentorial lesions. The median vermal volumes were 0.7 cm3 and were significantly related to cerebellar volumes both in preterm infants with and without lesions and in term-control infants.

A: Are smaller cerebellar volumes in very preterm infants at term-equivalent age associated with the presence of supratentorial lesions?

Q: Severe generalized spastic movement disorders of various aetiologies often involve the jaw muscles and lead to a spastic trismus with masseter muscle hypertonia. We report a placebo-controlled randomized study on patients with spastic trismus.', 'Eleven patients with masseter hypertonia because of stroke, hypoxic encephalopathy or traumatic brain injury were allocated to either botulinum toxin serotype B (BoNT/B) injections into the masseter muscles or placebo treatment. The dental gap, the amount of saliva, salivation scales, and a clinical goal attainment were evaluated.', 'Three weeks after injection the BoNT/B group showed a significantly increased mouth opening compared with placebo treatment (P < 0.05). In addition to the muscle paralysing effect, a goal attainment scale demonstrated a clinical benefit for the BoNT/B group (P < 0.01).

A:
Does botulinum toxin B increase mouth opening in patients with spastic trismus?
