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: Microvascular alterations contribute to the development of stroke and vascular dementia. The goal of this study was to evaluate age and hypertension related changes of the basal lamina in cerebral microvessels of individuals, who died from non-cerebral causes.', 'We examined 27 human brains: 11 young and 16 old patients. Old patients were divided into two subgroups, those with hypertension (n = 8) and those without hypertension (n = 8). Basal lamina changes of the cerebral microvessels were determined in the putamen using antibodies against collagen type IV and by quantitative analysis of vessel number, total stained area of collagen, thickness of the vessel wall and lumen, and relative staining intensity using immunofluorescence. The total number of collagen positive vessels per microscopic field was reduced in old compared to young subjects (12.0+/-0.6 vs. 15.1+/-1.2, p = 0.02). The relative collagen content per vessel (1.01+/-0.06 vs. 0.76+/-0.05, p = 0.01) and the relative collagen intensity (233.1+/-4.5 vs. 167.8+/-10.6, p < 0.0001) shown by immunofluorescence were higher in the older compared to the younger patients with a consecutive reduction of the lumen / wall ratio (1.29+/-0.05 vs. 3.29+/-0.15, p < 0.0001). No differences were observed for these parameters between old hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients.

Input: Consider Input: Non-shockable rhythms represent an increasing proportion of reported cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest but with an associated poor prognosis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of hydrogen inhalation on cardiac and neurological function after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and compared the therapeutic benefit with hypothermia in an asphyxial rat model of cardiac arrest.', 'Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated after 5 min of untreated asphyxial cardiac arrest. Animals were randomly assigned to three experimental groups immediately after successful resuscitation: ventilation with 2% hydrogen/98% oxygen under normothermia (H2 inhalation), ventilation with 2% nitrogen/98% oxygen under normothermia (Control), and ventilation with 2% nitrogen/98% oxygen under hypothermia (TH). Mixed gas inhalation continued for 1 h while hypothermia continued for 2h. Animals were observed up to 96h for assessment of survival and neurologic recovery.', 'No statistical differences in baseline measurements were observed among groups and all the animals were successfully resuscitated. Serum cardiac troponin T and S100B measured during earlier post-resuscitation period were markedly reduced in both H2 inhalation and hypothermic groups. However, significantly better left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac work, and neurological deficit score were observed in the H2 inhalation group. Ninety-six hours survival rate was significantly higher in the H2 inhalation group (75.0%), either compared with TH (45.8%) or compared with Control (33.3%). But there was no statistical difference between TH and Control.

Input: Consider Input: Vitamin C can be metabolized to oxalate. Case reports have suggested an association between IV vitamin C and urinary oxalate excretion. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration required the dose of vitamin C in IV multivitamin preparations to be increased from 100 mg to 200 mg/d. We compared the urinary oxalate excretion level in stable home total parenteral nutrition (TPN) patients receiving both doses of vitamin C.', 'Each participant provided a 24-hour urine sample for oxalate determination on the vitamin C dose (100 mg/d), and again after at least 1 month on the increased vitamin C dose (200 mg/d). A 2-day diet diary was completed covering the day before and the day of the urine collection and was analyzed for oxalate and vitamin C content. Comparisons were made using Student paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank.', 'Thirteen patients (7 males/6 females) aged 63.1 +/- 12.2 years who had no history of nephrolithiasis and had received TPN for 55.9 +/- 78.8 months were enrolled. The most common indication for TPN was short bowel syndrome (38.5%). Eight patients had an intact colon. Urinary oxalate excretion increased on the 200-mg vitamin C dose, from 0.34 +/- 0.13 to 0.44 +/- 0.17 mmol/d (mean increase = 0.10 mmol/d; p = .04; 95% confidence interval 0.004 to 0.19 mmol/d). Oral intake of vitamin C and oxalate did not differ between the 2 collection periods.
