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: Although N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has a strong relationship with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), few studies have examined whether NT-proBNP adds to risk prediction algorithms, particularly in women.', 'This study sought to evaluate the relationship between NT-proBNP and incident CVD in women.', "Using a prospective case-cohort within the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) observational study, we selected 1,821 incident cases of CVD (746 myocardial infarctions, 754 ischemic strokes, 160 hemorrhagic strokes, and 161 other cardiovascular [CV] deaths) and a randomly selected reference cohort of 1,992 women without CVD at baseline.", 'Median levels of NT-proBNP were higher at study entry among incident cases (120.3 ng/l [interquartile range (IQR): 68.1 to 219.5 ng/l]) than among control subjects (100.4 ng/l [IQR: 59.7 to 172.6 ng/l]; p\xa0< 0.0001). Women in the highest quartile of NT-proBNP (≥140.8 ng/l) were at 53% increased risk of CVD versus those in the lowest quartile after adjusting for traditional risk factors (1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.21 to 1.94]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001). Similar associations were observed after adjustment for Reynolds Risk Score covariables (1.53 [95% CI: 1.20 to 1.95]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001); the association remained in separate analyses of CV death (2.66 [95% CI: 1.48 to 4.81]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001), myocardial infarction (1.39\xa0[95% CI: 1.02 to 1.88]; p for trend\xa0= 0.008), and stroke (1.60 [95% CI: 1.22 to 2.11]; p for trend\xa0<0.0001). When added to traditional risk covariables, NT-proBNP improved the c-statistic (0.765 to 0.774; p\xa0= 0.0003), categorical net reclassification (0.08; p\xa0< 0.0001), and integrated discrimination (0.0105; p\xa0<\xa00.0001). Similar results were observed when NT-proBNP was added to the Reynolds Risk Score.\Question: Do b-type natriuretic peptides improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction in a cohort of women?
[EX A]: In this multiethnic cohort of women with numerous CV events, NT-proBNP modestly improved measures of CVD risk prediction.

[EX Q]: Context: Previous studies have shown that Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) can be applied to anti-cancer. However, the mechanism by which APS mediate this effect is unclear. In the present study, APS-mediated NSCLC cell apoptosis was investigated through the regulation of the notch signaling pathway.', 'The cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay. The mRNA and protein expression of notch1/3 and tumor suppressors were analyzed by RT-PCR and western blotting, respectively.', 'The mRNA and protein of notch1 and notch3 were significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues as compared to non-tumor adjacent tissues. Treatment of human NSCLC cells with APS induced cell death in a dose-and time-dependent manner by using CCK8 assay. The mRNA and protein expression of notch1 and notch3 were significantly lower in NSCLC cells with APS treatment than that in control group. Moreover, western blotting analysis showed that treatment of H460 cells with APS significantly increased the pro-apoptotic Bax and caspase 8 levels, decreased the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 level. Furthermore, p53, p21 and p16 were obviously up-regulated by APS treatment in H460 cell.\Question: Are notch1/3 and p53/p21 a potential therapeutic target for APS-induced apoptosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines?
[EX A]: This study demonstrated that APS-treated could inhibit proliferation and promote cell apoptosis, at least partially, through suppressing the expression of notch1 and notch3 and up-regulating the expression of tumor suppressors in H460 NSCLC cell lines.

[EX Q]: Context: There is little information in the literature regarding the use of health care services by workers with occupational contact dermatitis.', 'The objective of the study was to describe the use of health care services by workers with occupational contact dermatitis.', "One hundred workers with hand dermatitis were enrolled and observed for 6 months after assessment at St. Michael's Hospital (Toronto, ON, Canada). Information was collected at the time of diagnosis and 6 months after the assessment. Questionnaires were administered to collect information about clinical presentation and the use of health services.", "A diagnosis of occupational contact dermatitis was made for 78 of the workers. By the time of assessment at the Occupational Health Clinic at St. Michael's Hospital, almost all of the workers had seen their family doctor for their skin problem, and 71% had seen a dermatologist. Although family doctors and dermatologists asked the workers to identify their occupation, they rarely asked about workplace exposures, and the physicians provided minimal advice about job change or modification on return to work. During the 6 months following diagnosis, 62% of the workers saw their family physicians in follow-up, but rarely was advice about job change or modification provided at these follow-up visits.\Question: Do health care services use by workers with work-related contact dermatitis?
[EX A]:
This descriptive information suggests that there are gaps in health services for patients with work-related skin disease and that there is a need for refinement of the delivery of health services related to occupational disease. A redesign of the occupational health care delivery system to address these issues and an evaluation of new models seem appropriate.
