Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

Input: Consider Input: Baseline carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a useful prognostic marker in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA); however, data on the significance of a change in CA 19-9 following neoadjuvant therapy are lacking.', "All patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy for PDA from July 2010 to February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Resection rate, R0 resection rate, need for venous resection, and overall survival were correlated to CA 19-9 response. Fisher's exact test, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and multivariate analysis using Cox regression were used.", 'A total of 78 patients were studied (21 patients with resectable disease, 40 borderline resectable, and 17 with locally advanced disease). A variety of chemotherapies ± radiation were utilized during the study period. Overall, 56 patients (72 %) had a decrease in CA 19-9 of >50 % with neoadjuvant treatment. In borderline resectable patients, CA 19-9 response of >50 % predicted R0 resection (odds ratio 4.2; p = 0.05). In borderline resectable patients who had an increase in CA 19-9, none of five (0 %) underwent R0 resection compared with 80 % of the remaining cohort (p = 0.001). The complete pathologic response rate was 29 % in patients who had a CA 19-9 response of >90 % versus 0 % in the remaining patients (p < 0.001). A CA 19-9 response of >50 % resulted in improved overall survival (28.0 vs. 11.1 months; p < 0.0001) and was an independent predictor of survival (hazard ratio 0.26; 95 % CI 0.13-0.55; p < 0.0001).

Input: Consider Input: Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation is the main mechanism for gastroesophageal reflux. Although there is evidence that transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations are neurally mediated, another school of thought is that transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations result from gastric distention, which shortens the sphincter to the point where it opens and the pressure decreases. We assessed the relationship of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation to gastroesophageal junction opening in an unsedated human model.', 'Seven healthy volunteers (6 men and 1 woman, aged 18-53 years) were studied while they were sitting. Manometry was performed by using a sleeve catheter passed through 1 nostril. A 5.3-mm endoscope was placed through the other nostril to obtain a retroflexed view of the cardia. The biopsy channel was connected to a barostat to distend the stomach with air at 15 mm Hg for 30 minutes. Manometric and endoscopic video-recording times were synchronized but scored independently.', 'The transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation onset invariably preceded gastroesophageal junction opening (median, 5.0 seconds; range, 0.5-20.7 seconds; P < .001). The transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation nadir also typically occurred before gastroesophageal junction opening (median, 2.1 seconds; range, -4.2 to +19.5 seconds; P < .001). Once open, the gastroesophageal junction moved proximally for the duration of the transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Termination of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations occurred about the time the time of gastroesophageal junction closure.

Input: Consider Input: Aerosolized perfluorocarbon (PFC) has been proposed as an alternative method of PFC administration; however, the efficacy of aerosolized PFC in a preterm animal model has not yet been demonstrated.', 'Twelve preterm lambs were randomized to two groups: a perfluorodecalin (PFD) aerosol group (n = 6) receiving 10\u2009ml/kg/h of PFD delivered by an intratracheal inhalation catheter followed by 4\u2009h of mechanical ventilation (MV) or the control group, in which animals (n = 6) were managed for 6\u2009h with MV. Gas exchange, pulmonary mechanics, cardiovascular parameters, and cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured.', 'Both groups developed hypoxia, hypercarbia, and acidosis at baseline. Aerosolized PFD improved oxygenation (P < 0.0001) and pulmonary mechanics (P < 0.0001) and changed carbon dioxide values to normal physiological levels, unlike the treatment given to the controls (P < 0.0003). The time course of mean arterial blood pressure and CBF were significantly affected by PFD aerosolization, especially during the first hour of life. CBF gradually decreased during the first hour in the PFD aerosol group and remained stable until the end of the follow-up, whereas CBF remained higher in the control group (P < 0.0028).
