Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. 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.

Question: The SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 3a protein functions as an ion channel, induces apoptosis and is important for viral pathogenesis. It is expressed on the cell surface and contains a tyrosine-based sorting motif and a di-acidic motif, which may be crucial for its intracellular trafficking. However the role of these motifs is not fully understood in the case of 3a protein.', 'The subcellular distribution of the 3a protein was studied by immunofluorescence staining of cells transfected with wild type and mutant constructs along with markers for different intracellular compartments. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to estimate the mRNA where as western blotting was carried out to detect protein levels of wild type and mutant 3a proteins. In vitro transcription- translation was performed to estimate cell free protein synthesis.', 'While the wild type 3a protein is efficiently transported to the plasma membrane, the protein with mutations in the tyrosine and valine residues within the YXXV motif (YXX) accumulated in the Golgi compartment. However the 3a protein with mutations within the EXD di-acidic motif (EXD) showed an intracellular distribution similar to the wild type protein. Increased retention of the YXX protein in the Golgi compartment also increased its association with lipid droplets. The YXX protein also expressed at significantly lower levels compared to the wild type 3a protein, which was reversed with Brefeldin A and Aprotinin.

Answer: Is the YXX motif within the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ( SARS-CoV ) 3a protein crucial for its intracellular transport?

Question: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of sympathetic versus parasympathetic neuropathy among type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.', 'There were 43 patients with type 1 and 17 with type 2 diabetes who were investigated. Sympathetic nerve function was assessed by measurement of the vasoconstriction (VAC) index by laser Doppler perfusion imaging of a locally heated finger followed by indirect cooling. Parasympathetic nerve function was assessed by R-R interval variation during deep breathing as measured by the expiration/inspiration (E/I) ratio. Results were expressed as age-corrected z scores in SD; VAC index >1.64 SD and E/I ratio <-1.64 SD were considered abnormal.', 'VAC index was abnormal in 40% with type 1 and 41% with type 2 diabetes, whereas the E/I ratio was abnormal in 42% with type 1 and 65% with type 2 diabetes. There was a clear association between VAC index and E/I ratio among type 1 (rs=0.525; P=0.0002) but not among type 2 (rs=0.10) diabetic patients. Among type 2 diabetic patients, the degree of dysfunction was most severe regarding parasympathetic function (P=0.0167).

Answer: Are sympathetic and parasympathetic neuropathy frequent in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients?

Question: Trauma centers often receive transfers from lower-level trauma centers or nontrauma hospitals. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and pattern of secondary overtriage to our Level I trauma center.', 'We performed a 2-year retrospective analysis of all trauma patients transferred to our Level I trauma center and discharged within 24 hours of admission. Reason for referral, referring specialty, mode of transport, and intervention details were collected. Outcomes measures were incidence of secondary overtriage as well as requirement of major or minor procedure. Major procedure was defined as surgical intervention in the operating room. Minor procedures were defined as procedures performed in the emergency department.', 'A total of 1,846 patients were transferred to our Level I trauma center, of whom 440 (24%) were discharged within 24 hours of admission. The mean (SD) age was 35 (21) years, 72% were male, and mean (SD) Injury Severity Score (ISS) 4 (4). The most common reasons for referral were extremity fractures (31%), followed by head injury (23%) and soft tissue injuries (13%).Of the 440 patients discharged within 24 hours, 380 (86%) required only observation (268 of 380) or minor procedure (112 of 380). Minor procedures were entirely consisted of fracture management (n = 47, 42%) and wound care (n = 65, 58%). The mean (SD) interfacility transfer distance was 45 (46) miles. Mean (SD) hospital charges per transfer were $12,549 ($5,863).

Answer:
Do a critical analysis of secondary overtriage to a Level I trauma center?
