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.

The dietary determinants of adolescent blood pressure (BP) are not well understood. We determined the association between major dietary patterns and BP in a sample of Iranian adolescents.', "This cross-sectional study was conducted among a representative sample (n=557) of Shirazi adolescents aged 12-19years. Participants' systolic and diastolic BP was measured using a validated oscillometric BP monitor. Usual dietary intakes during the past 12months were assessed using a valid and reproducible 168-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire through face-to-face interviews. Principal component factor analysis was used to identify major dietary patterns based on a set of 25 predefined food groups.", 'Overall, three major dietary patterns were identified, among which only the Western pattern (abundant in soft drinks, sweets and desserts, salt, mayonnaise, tea and coffee, salty snacks, high-fat dairy products, French fries, and red or processed meats) had a significant association with BP. After adjusting for potential confounders in the analysis of covariance models, multivariable adjusted means of the systolic and mean BP of subjects in the highest tertile of the Western pattern score were significantly higher than those in the lowest tertile (for systolic BP: mean difference 6.9mmHg, P=0.001; and for mean BP: mean difference 4.2mmHg, P=0.003). A similar but statistically insignificant difference was observed in terms of diastolic BP.
Is a Western dietary pattern associated with higher blood pressure in Iranian adolescents?

Pigs are frequently used as animal models in experimental medicine. To identify processes of vascular development or regression, vascular elements must be recognised and quantified in a three-dimensional (3D) arrangement. Vascular corrosion casts enable the creation of 3D replicas of vascular trees. The aim of our study was to identify suitable casting media and optimise the protocol for porcine liver vascular corrosion casting.', 'Mercox II®️ (Ladd Research, Williston, Vermont, USA) and Biodur E20®️ Plus (Biodur Products, Heidelberg, Germany) were tested in 4 porcine livers. The resins (volume approximately 700 mL) were injected via the portal vein. Corrosion casts were examined by macro-computed tomography, micro-computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy.', 'For hepatectomies, the operating protocol was optimised to avoid gas or blood clot embolisation. We present a protocol for porcine liver vascular bed casting based on corrosion specimens prepared using Biodur E20®️ epoxy resin.
Does porcine liver vascular bed in Biodur E20 corrosion cast?

To summarise the present evidence for an association between circulating fibrinogen or D-dimer and presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presence.', 'MEDLINE database was searched to identify all case-control studies that compared plasma fibrinogen or D-dimer concentrations between patients with AAA and subjects without AAA. For each study, data regarding fibrinogen or D-dimer concentrations in both the AAA and control groups were used to generate mean differences (MDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Study-specific estimates were combined using inverse variance-weighted average of logarithmic MDs in both fixed- and random-effects models.', 'Our search identified 10 eligible studies including 834 cases with AAA and 6971 controls without AAA for fibrinogen and six studies including 264 patients with AAA and 403 subjects without AAA for D-dimer. Pooled analysis demonstrated significantly higher fibrinogen (fixed-effects MD, 0.37gl(-1); 95% CI: 0.30-0.44gl(-1)) and D-dimer (random-effects MD: 415.36ngml(-1); 95% CI: 128.97-701.76ngml(-1)) concentrations in the AAA group than those in the control group.
