TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: A prospective cohort study at our institution demonstrated a 48% mortality rate in warfarin anticoagulated trauma patients sustaining intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) compared with a 10% mortality rate in nonanticoagulated patients. Forty percent of patients demonstrated progression of their ICH, despite anticoagulation reversal, with a resultant 65% mortality rate. Seventy-one percent of these patients initially presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score > or = 14 and a 'minor' ICH. We postulated that early diagnosis of ICH and rapid anticoagulation reversal would reduce ICH progression rates and mortality.", 'All anticoagulated patients with known or suspected head trauma were entered into the Coumadin protocol. The protocol ensured immediate triage and physician evaluation, head computed tomography (CT) scan, and fresh frozen plasma administration in patients with documented ICH.', 'Eighty-two patients were entered into the protocol with ICH documented in 19 (23%). Sixteen of 19 patients (84%) presented with GCS > or = 14. Median international normalized ratio (INR) for treated patients with ICH was 2.7 versus 2.5 for patients without ICH (p = 0.546). Mean time to initiate warfarin reversal was 1.9 hours for protocol patients versus 4.3 hours for preprotocol patients (p < 0.001). Two of 19 (10%) protocol patients with ICH died. However, both patients presented >10 hours after injury with a severe ICH. This 10% mortality rate is significantly less than the 48% mortality rate seen previously (p < 0.001) and is now consistent with that observed in similarly injured patients not on anticoagulation.

PROBLEM: To investigate the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25VD3) on house dust mites (HDM)-induced expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in human airway epithelial cells in vitro.', 'Human airway epithelial 16HBE cells were incubated with 200, 400, and 800 U/L in the absence or presence of 1,25VD3 (10(-8) mol/L) for 6 h and 24 h, and TSLP mRNA and protein expressions in the cells were assessed using quantitative PCR and ELISA.', '16HBE cells incubated with HDM at 200, 400, and 800 U/L showed significantly increased TSLP mRNA and protein expressions (P<0.05). Pretreatment of the cells with 1,25VD3 obviously lowered 400 U/L HDM-induced TSLP expressions (P<0.05), but 1,25VD3 added along with HDM in the cells did not produce significant effects on TSLP expressions (P=0.58).

PROBLEM: To clarify actual differences in the neonatal as well as maternal outcome between completed twin vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery.', "We collected the data from women with a twin pregnancy who delivered two live fetuses between 1 January and 31 December 2014 at 20 teachinghospitals (1) (1) PARTICIPANTS: Adachi Hospital, Hyogo Prefectural Amagasaki General Medical Center, Japan Baptist Hospital, Kitano Hospital, Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital, Kosaka Women's Hospital, Kurashiki Central Hospital, Kyoto University Hospital, Mitsubishi Kyoto Hospital, Nagahama Red Cross Hospital, National Hospital Organization Kyoto Medical Center, National Hospital Organization Osaka National Hospital, Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Otsu Municipal Hospital, Otsu Red Cross Hospital, Red Cross Wakayama Medical Center, Saiseikai Noe Hospital, Shizuoka General Hospital, Takamatsu Red Cross Hospital and Tenri Hospital. in Japan. Only the cases that were retrospectively regarded as eligible for planned vaginal delivery were analyzed according to the actual mode of delivery.", "Umbilical arterial blood pH (UmA-pH) of the second twin was slightly but significantly lower in the vaginal delivery group (7.260.009) than in a cesarean delivery group (7.300.006). Vaginal delivery was the only independent risk factor for second twin's UmA-pH <7.20. Intrapartum blood loss was significantly larger in the cesarean delivery group (144463g) than in the vaginal delivery group (820109g). Cesarean delivery was an independent risk factor for intrapartum blood loss1500g.
