PROBLEM: Question: Are lobar microbleeds associated with a decline in executive functioning in older adults?
Answer: Lobar microbleeds, a marker of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, are associated with an accelerated rate of executive function decline. The presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy may be an important source of cognitive decline in aging. Future work should examine how cerebral amyloid angiopathy interacts with neurodegenerative processes, such as Alzheimer's disease.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Does stopcock lumen contamination reflect the full burden of bacterial intravenous tubing contamination : analysis using a novel injection port?
Answer: Effluent culture is a more sensitive marker of IV fluid system contamination than injection port lumen culture. A novel protective device on the stopcock (Port Guide) significantly reduced IV fluid system bacterial contamination.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Does lithium increase nitric oxide levels in subjects with bipolar disorder during depressive episodes?
Answer: The present findings suggest that lithium upregulates NO signaling in unmedicated BD with short illness duration. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm the effects of lithium on NO pathway and its association with synaptic plasticity and therapeutics of BD.

SOLUTION:
yes
