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.

Context: Mice with functional ablation of the neurokinin-1 receptor gene (NK1R(-/-)) display behavioural abnormalities which resemble the hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity seen in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Here, we investigated whether the established ADHD treatment, atomoxetine, alleviates these abnormalities when tested in the light/dark exploration box (LDEB) and 5-Choice Serial Reaction-Time Task (5-CSRTT).', 'Separate cohorts of mice were tested in the 5-CSRTT and LDEB after treatment with no injection, vehicle or atomoxetine (5-CSRTT: 0.3, 3 or 10mg/kg; LDEB: 1, 3 or 10mg/kg).', 'Atomoxetine reduced the hyperactivity displayed by NK1R(-/-) mice in the LDEB at a dose (3mg/kg) which did not affect the locomotor activity of wildtypes. Atomoxetine (10mg/kg) also reduced impulsivity in NK1R(-/-) mice, but not wildtypes, in the 5-CSRTT. No dose of drug affected attention in either genotype.
Answer: This evidence that atomoxetine reduces hyperactive/impulsive behaviours in NK1R(-/-) mice consolidates the validity of using NK1R(-/-) mice in research of the aetiology and treatment of ADHD.
Does atomoxetine reduce hyperactive/impulsive behaviours in neurokinin-1 receptor 'knockout ' mice?

Context: Sit-to-stand tasks are commonly facilitated by modifying the initial position of the center of mass relative to the feet. It was hypothesized that modifications in the center of mass trajectory during sit-to-stand tasks altered the total body momentum at seat departure and redistributed the lower extremity net joint moments.', 'Between-task within-subject comparison was employed using a robust statistical method to accommodate for small sample size.', 'Six individuals performed four sit-to-stand tasks with systematic modifications in the initial center of mass position by varying the orientation of the lower extremity segments. The momentum of the center of mass and lower extremity net joint moments were quantified and compared.', 'Reducing the horizontal center of mass displacement significantly reduced horizontal total body momentum required at seat departure. Sit-to-stand tasks initiated with more horizontal shank and thigh positions required significantly greater knee and hip extensor net joint moments than those with more vertical shank and thigh positions. Sit-to-stand tasks initiated with vertical shank positions also required significantly greater hip extensor net joint moments as compared to those with more horizontal shank orientations.
Answer: When changes in initial center of mass position are made, alteration in center of mass horizontal momentum and the orientation of the lower extremity segments relative to the reaction force are observed. Consequently, mechanical demand imposed on the ankle, knee, and hip joint is redistributed. The magnitude of the net joint moments is dependent on the segment orientation, the reaction force, and the adjacent net joint moment.
Does modifying center of mass trajectory during sit-to-stand tasks redistribute the mechanical demand across the lower extremity joints?

Context: The purpose of this study was to examine functional outcomes following ORIF of displaced proximal humerus fractures in patients who received brachial plexus blocks compared to those who underwent general anesthesia.', 'We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data on 92 patients. Patients were grouped according to anesthesia type: regional interscalene brachial plexus block, with or without general anesthesia, or general anesthesia alone. Patients were asked to complete the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and range of motion assessments at a minimum of 6-month follow-up. Plain radiographic films were obtained to assess fracture healing.', 'Forty-five (48.9%) patients with 45 proximal humerus fractures received a regional anesthetic, while 47 (51.1%) patients with 48 proximal humerus fractures had general anesthesia. No significant differences existed in demographic information or fracture type. DASH scores at the most recent follow-up were significantly better in the regional block group (38.6) compared to the general anesthesia group (53.1) (p = 0.003). The regional block group had significantly better passive and active forward elevation and external rotation range and equivalent internal rotation (p = 0.002, 0.005, 0.002, and 0.507, respectively).
Answer: Patients who received regional anesthetic via a brachial plexus interscalene blocks had better functional outcomes and range of motion at the most recent clinical follow-up. Regional anesthesia provides patients with prolonged postoperative pain relief, which may allow for early mobilization, increasing the likelihood that the patient's function and range of motion will return to baseline.
Does regional anesthesia improve outcome in patients undergoing proximal humerus fracture repair?
