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: The aim of the study is to determine whether a biodegradable elastomeric device that uses an osmotic pressure delivery mechanism can release different therapeutic proteins at a nearly constant rate in nanomolar concentrations with high bioactivity, given the same formulation conditions. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) were embedded in the device as sample therapeutic proteins, and their release and bioactivity were compared to that achieved previously with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).', 'A photo-cross-linkable biodegradable macromer consisting of acrylated star(epsilon-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) was prepared. VEGF, IL-2, and IFN-gamma were co-lyophilized with serum albumin and trehalose at different ratios and were then embedded into the elastomer by photo-cross-linking the lyophilized particles in a macromer solution. The protein mass and the bioactivity in the release supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent and cell-based assays.', 'VEGF, IL-2, and IFN-gamma were released at the same, nearly constant rate of 25.4 ng/day for over 18 days. Using the optimum elastomer formulation, the release profiles of the proteins were essentially identical, and their rates were linear and constant. Cell-based bioactivity assays showed that 70 and 88% of the released VEGF and IL-2, respectively, were bioactive. The rate of protein release can be adjusted by changing the trehalose loading concentration in the elastomer matrix without altering the linear nature of the protein release kinetics. The elastomeric device degraded in PBS buffer within 85 days.\Question: Are osmotic-driven release kinetics of bioactive therapeutic proteins from a biodegradable elastomer linear , constant , similar , and adjustable?
The elastomer formulation shows promising potential as a sustained protein drug delivery vehicle for local delivery applications.

Context: . We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention, targeting staff-patient communication, in improving emergency department patient satisfaction.', 'We undertook a pre- and post-intervention study in a university-affiliated emergency department, over a 12-month period. The intervention included communication workshops, a patient education film, and a patient liaison nurse. At the patient level, the patient liaison nurse ensured optimal staff-patient community communication and played a role in staff communication education. The intervention was evaluated using patient surveys (containing general and communication-specific satisfaction items scored out of 100), complaint rates, and patient liaison nurse activity data.', "A total of 321 and 545 patients returned questionnaires in the pre- and post-intervention periods, respectively. Significant improvements were observed in patients' perceptions of being 'informed about delays' [score difference, 5.3; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.6-10.0], that 'staff cared about them as a person' (difference, 4.4; 95% CI, 0.7-8.1), the overall emergency department facility assessment (difference, 3.9; 95% CI, 0.4-7.5) and overall emergency department care (difference, 3.8; 95% CI, 0.3-7.3). Non-significant improvements were seen in all other satisfaction items. In the post-intervention period, there was a 22.5% (95% CI, 14.6-32.8) decrease in the number of complaints received and a decrease in the complaint rate of 0.7 (95% CI, -0.3 to 1.6) complaints per 1000 patients. The patient liaison nurse activities included orientation of the patient including (i) explanation of tests, procedures, and delays; (ii) communication with a range of hospital staff; and (iii) general comfort measures including analgesia quality control.\Question: Does a multifaceted intervention improve patient satisfaction and perceptions of emergency department care?
Significant improvements in a variety of patient satisfaction measures were achieved with an intervention comprising staff communication workshops, a patient education film, and a patient liaison nurse.

Context: To determine if pars plana vitrectomy induces long-term changes in the anterior segment anatomy by means of ultrasound biomicroscopy.', 'A prospective case series study was undertaken of consecutive patients referred to a tertiary eye care centre for pars plana vitrectomy as the only procedure. Twenty eyes of 20 patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy alone were studied by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Silicone oil or scleral buckle was not used in any of the included cases. The following morphometric parameters were compared before and after 3 months of surgery: anterior chamber depth, angle-opening distance at 500 microm from the scleral spur, trabecular-ciliary process distance, ciliary body thickness at 1, 2 and 3 millimeters from the scleral spur and measurement of the supraciliary space thickness, when fluid was detected.', 'No statistically significant differences were found between the preoperative and the postoperative morphometric parameters.\Question: Do ultrasound biomicroscopy in the comparison of the anterior segment morphometry before and after pars plana vitrectomy?

Uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy does not induce any long-term change on anterior segment morphometry. Based on these findings, the normal long-term pattern to be expected after pars plana vitrectomy is the conservation of the preoperative morphometry.
