In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Question: Context: 1-2/1,000 newborns are affected by connatal permanent hearing impairment. Clinical diagnosis is often delayed. This demands newborn hearing screening (NHS). Some questions regarding the optimal method remain unsolved.', 'The newborns in the obstetrical department (low-risk group) are tested by automated transitory evoked otoacustic emissions (TEOAE). TEOAE-fail is followed by automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) examination. All sick newborns admitted to the pediatric department (high-risk group) are primarily tested using AABR. Pathological AABR-testing leads to pedaudiological diagnostic work-up.', 'In the low-risk group, 82 out of 1,584 newborns failed TEOAE-testing (recall 5.18%). Only 5 of these patients failed consecutive AABR examination (recall 0.32%). Permanent hearing loss was finally confirmed in 3 children (0.13%). 10 out of 755 newborns in the high-risk group failed AABR-testing (1.32%). In 6 of these children, hearing loss was confirmed (0.79%).\Question: Does [ Two-tier screening process ( TEOAE/AABR ) reduce recall rates in newborn hearing screening ]?

Answer: A two-tier screening process as described is able to reduce recall rate, overall expenses and parental anxiety.

Question: Context: Ag-dependent activation of IgE-bearing mast cells is a critical first step in immediate hypersensitivity and other allergic responses. Recent studies have revealed Ag-independent effects of monoclonal mouse IgE molecules on mast cell survival and activation. However, no studies have been performed on the effects of polyclonal IgE molecules. Here, we tested whether polyclonal mouse and human IgE molecules affect survival and cytokine production in mast cells.', 'Mast cells were cultured in the presence of polyclonal mouse and human IgE molecules, and cell survival and cytokine production were analyzed.', 'Polyclonal mouse IgE molecules in sera from mice with atopic dermatitis-like allergic skin inflammation, enhanced survival and cytokine production in mast cell cultures. Similar to the effects of monoclonal IgE, the polyclonal IgE effects were mediated by the high-affinity IgE receptor, FcepsilonRI. Human polyclonal IgE molecules present in sera from atopic dermatitis patients were also capable of activating mast cells, and inducing IL-8 production in human cord blood-derived mast cells.\Question: Does polyclonal IgE induce mast cell survival and cytokine production?

Answer: These results imply that polyclonal IgE in atopic dermatitis and other atopic conditions might modulate mast cell number and function, thus amplifying the allergic response.

Question: Context: To evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).', 'IL-10 is an immunosuppressive factor and IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a role in host defense mechanisms. Both have been reported to be related to the disease prognosis in some human solid tumors. Their role in human HCC has not been investigated.', 'Preoperative serum samples of 67 patients with HCC who underwent potentially curative resection and 27 normal healthy donors were assayed. Levels of IL-10 and IL-6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The clinical significance of serum IL-10 and IL-6 was evaluated and compared with conventional clinicopathologic factors.', 'Levels of IL-10 and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients with HCC than in healthy subjects. There was no correlation between IL-10 and IL-6 levels. Tumor resection resulted in a decrease in IL-10 and IL-6 levels. On univariate analysis, patients with high IL-10 levels had a worse disease-free survival, but IL-6 levels had no correlation with the disease-free survival. Multivariate analysis identified IL-10 levels as a predictor of postresectional outcome, in addition to the well-established clinical risk factors.\Question: Is serum interleukin-10 but not interleukin-6 related to clinical outcome in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma?

Answer:
In patients with HCC, the preoperative serum IL-10 level is related to the clinical outcome. IL-10 may play an important role in the progression of HCC.
