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.

[EX Q]: Context: Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a pervasive and difficult to treat condition for which deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subcallosal cingulate white matter (SCCwm) is an emerging therapeutic option. However, neuropsychological safety data for this novel treatment have only been published for a small number of subjects. Moreover, little is known regarding the neuropsychological profile present in TRD patients at baseline, prior to initiation of DBS therapy. This report describes the neuropsychological effects of TRD and acute and chronic DBS of the SCCwm in patients with unipolar and bipolar TRD.', 'Patients with TRD (N = 17) were compared to a healthy control group (N = 15) on subtests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery and the Stroop Task. Patients were then tested again at subsequent time points of 1 and 6 months following the initiation of chronic DBS of the SCCwm.', 'Patients with TRD showed similar levels of performance to healthy controls on most neuropsychological measures, with the exception that the TRD group had slower processing speed. Patients with bipolar TRD, relative to those with unipolar TRD, obtained lower scores on measures of executive function and memory only at baseline. With acute and chronic SCCwm DBS, neuropsychological function improved in multiple domains including processing speed and executive function (planning, set shifting, response inhibition), and memory remained stable.\Question: Do neuropsychological function before and after subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation in patients with treatment-resistant depression?
[EX A]: Patients with TRD show slowed processing speed but otherwise largely preserved neuropsychological functioning. DBS of the SCCwm does not result in worsening of any aspect of neuropsychological function and may improve certain domains. Future research is warranted to better understand the effects of TRD and DBS on neuropsychological function.

[EX Q]: Context: In Crohn's disease (CD), rapid response to anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy improves short- and medium-term outcomes, but the relationship between early remission (ER) and long-term remission is unclear.", 'This exploratory analysis of PRECiSE 3 (NCT00160524) assessed whether ER after initiation of certolizumab pegol predicted long-term remission.', 'Patients enrolled in PRECiSE 3 had completed PRECiSE 1 or 2, two randomized placebo-controlled studies for moderate to severe CD, and received open-label certolizumab pegol 400\u2009mg every 4 weeks for a total treatment duration of ≤7.5 years. Time to loss of remission between patients with and without ER (Harvey-Bradshaw Index ≤4 at or before Week 6 of PRECiSE 1 or 2) was compared by log-rank test of Kaplan-Meier estimates.', 'At baseline, patients with (n\u2009=\u2009242) and without (n\u2009=\u2009148) ER had mean (standard deviation [SD]) durations of CD of 6.8 (6.6) and 7.4 (7.8) years, mean (SD) CD Activity Index scores of 280.3 (53.4) and 311.1 (55.5), with 45.5% and 41.9% of patients having ileocolonic CD, and median C-reactive protein concentrations of 8.0 and 5.0\u2009mg/L, respectively. Median certolizumab pegol plasma concentrations during the first 6 weeks of therapy were similar in both groups. Mean time to loss of remission was significantly longer in patients with versus without ER (2.77 vs. 1.14 years, p\u2009<\u20090.0001).\Question: Does early remission status predict long-term outcomes in patients with Crohn 's disease treated with certolizumab pegol?
[EX A]: In certolizumab pegol-treated patients with CD, ER appears to be an important predictor of long-term clinical remission. Prospective trials are needed to determine whether ER improves other long-term outcomes.

[EX Q]: Context: Small arteries and veins up to 7 mm can be sealed safe and divided with a bipolar sealing instrument. The results for the safe sealing of larger vessels were unsatisfactory in the past. Using an ex vivo pulmonary artery model, we aimed to investigate, if a higher compression force and duration will improve the bursting pressures in case of vessels >7 mm.', 'Heart-lung preparations (from 90 kg pigs) were removed en bloc at a slaughterhouse. The whole pulmonary artery was exposed from the pulmonary valve up to the periphery of the left lung. In the laboratory, a digital pressure sensor was implanted in the central end of the blood vessel to measure the bursting pressure (in mbar). The vessels examined were divided into three groups by diameter: 1-6 mm, 7-12 mm and >12 mm. After bipolar sealing, bursting pressures were determined by pneumatic testing. Seals were made using three equal MARSEAL instruments (Gebrüder Martin GmbH & CoKG, Tuttlingen, Germany) with a SealSafe G3 electric current and different jaw compression forces of each 35 N, 45 N, and 55 N. Bursting pressures were also measured for different compression durations (0 s, 5 s, 10 s, and 20 s) with 35 N compression. Mean bursting pressures were calculated for each group (n = 15). Groups were compared using a nonparametric test (Mann-Whitney U test). The significance level was P < 0.05.', 'Mean bursting pressures in the 1-6 mm blood vessels were 290.5 ± 77.1 mbar (35 N), 323.0 ± 76.0 mbar (45 N) and 301.6 ± 69.9 mbar (55 N). The groups did not differ significantly. Mean bursting pressures in the 7-12 mm vessels were 108.1 ± 19.1 mbar (35 N), 154.3 ± 28.5 mbar (45 N), and 212.4 ± 45.3 mbar (55 N). In blood vessels >12 mm in diameter, we found mean bursting pressures of 77.7 ± 11.7 mbar (35 N), 117.6 ± 27.1 mbar (45 N), and 166.3 ± 56.6 mbar (55 N). The results for the groups with 55 N compression were significantly higher than for the other groups. A compression duration of 5 s led to significantly higher mean bursting pressures than a duration of 0 s but a duration of >5 s did not bring a further significant increase in mean bursting pressure. Histologic staining of the seal zone and microscopic examination did not reveal any differences relating to compression force.\Question: Does more compression improve sealing effect on larger pulmonary arteries?
[EX A]:
With a higher compression force, we reached satisfactory bursting pressures in case of pulmonary arteries >7 mm. An additional 5 s of compression before starting coagulation brings a further significant increase in bursting pressure. However, there is no advantage in a longer compression.
