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.

Context: Although successful cochlear implantation of patients with deafness following meningitis is expected, long-term stability of electrical current requirements has not been systematically evaluated. This study evaluated changes in programming for patients deafened by bacterial meningitis and stability of auditory performance over time.', 'In this retrospective descriptive study, cochlear implant (CI) stimulation mode and performance of 14 patients deafened by meningitis were compared with those of an age-matched control group of patients deafened by other causes.', 'There were no significant differences in mean performance between the meningitis group and control group (P > 0.05). However, the postmeningitis group required progressively higher stimulation levels and higher programming modes over time as compared to the control group.\Question: Do changes in programming over time in postmeningitis cochlear implant users?
Even with deafness accompanied by labyrinthine ossification attributed to meningitis, neural elements were present and could be stimulated. Because increasing levels of stimulation were required over time, postmeningitic children with CIs, and those with cochlear ossification in particular, may need frequent programming adjustments to maintain performance.

Context: This study was conducted to determine if there was an increase in the urinary excretion of fluoride, after the use of fluoride mouth rinses in children.', 'The sample consisted of 58 children aged 5-8 years, randomly selected, residents in non-fluoridated water areas. Urine samples were collected prior to mouthwash and also 2 hours after use. The control sample, which received no treatment, consisted of 16 children of equivalent age and from the same community. Urinary excretion of fluoride was analysed by determining the pH, creatinine, F- ion and fluoride (mg)/creatinine (g) (F/Cr) ratio in urine. Results In the studied sample, the mean F/Cr ratio before fluoride mouth rinse was 0.26 mg/g and it rose to 1.58 mg/g 2 hours after mouth rinse. This difference of 1.33 mg/g was statistically highly significant (p<.001). In the control group no significant changes occurred. The average 2 hours afterward F/Cr ratios were 0.29 and 0.27 respectively (p=0.426).\Question: Does renal excretion of fluoride after fluoride mouth rinse in children?
After the use of a fluoride mouthwash, in children, there is a statistically significant increase of fluoride ion in urine, which can be attributed to the application of this product.

Context: High normal blood pressure (HNBP), i.e. blood pressure (BP) > or = 130/85 mmHg and <140/90 mmHg, is an important predictor of progression to established hypertension.', 'The purpose of this retrospective study was the evaluation of the predictive value of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for the development of drug-treated hypertension in subjects with HNBP and other risk factors.', 'We studied 127 subjects (69 M, 58 F, age 50 +/- 14 years): 59 subjects had normal BP (NBP: < 130/85 mmHg), 68 subjects had systolic and/or diastolic HNBP. All the subjects underwent ABPM. There were 21/68 (30.9%) subjects in the HNBP group vs. 1/59 (1.7%) in the NBP group with an elevated (>135/85 mmHg) daytime ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) (p < 0.01).', 'After an average follow-up of 103 +/- 28 months, 27 subjects (39.7%) in the HNBP group and 4 subjects (6.8%) in the NBP group developed drug-treated hypertension (p < 0.01). An elevated daytime ABP correctly predicted development of drug-treated hypertension in 17/21 subjects (81%) of the HNBP group and in the only subject of the NBP group. Development of drug-treated hypertension was associated with higher office and ambulatory BP (p < 0.01) and pulse pressures (p < 0.05), longer follow-up (p < 0.05) and higher prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia and smoking (p < 0.01).\Question: Does ambulatory monitoring predict development of drug-treated hypertension in subjects with high normal blood pressure?
We conclude that ABPM correctly predicts development of drug-treated hypertension in most subjects who were identified early as having a daytime mean ABP >135/85 mmHg. ABPM appears to be a useful clinical tool in the early diagnosis of hypertension in subjects with metabolic risk factors and smoking.
