Example\nContext: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease with an uncertain pathogenesis. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) represent a recently discovered cell population which has been implicated in driving Th2 inflammation in CRS; however, their relationship with clinical disease characteristics has yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to identify ILC2s in sinus mucosa in patients with CRS and controls and compare ILC2s across characteristics of disease. A cross-sectional study of patients with CRS undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery was conducted. Sinus mucosal biopsies were obtained during surgery and control tissue from patients undergoing pituitary tumour resection through transphenoidal approach. ILC2s were identified as CD45(+) Lin(-) CD127(+) CD4(-) CD8(-) CRTH2(CD294)(+) CD161(+) cells in single cell suspensions through flow cytometry. ILC2 frequencies, measured as a percentage of CD45(+) cells, were compared across CRS phenotype, endotype, inflammatory CRS subtype and other disease characteristics including blood eosinophils, serum IgE, asthma status and nasal symptom score. 35 patients (40% female, age 48 ± 17 years) including 13 with eosinophilic CRS (eCRS), 13 with non-eCRS and 9 controls were recruited. ILC2 frequencies were associated with the presence of nasal polyps (P = 0.002) as well as high tissue eosinophilia (P = 0.004) and eosinophil-dominant CRS (P = 0.001) (Mann-Whitney U). They were also associated with increased blood eosinophilia (P = 0.005). There were no significant associations found between ILC2s and serum total IgE and allergic disease. In the CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) population, ILC2s were increased in patients with co-existing asthma (P = 0.03). ILC2s were also correlated with worsening nasal symptom score in CRS (P = 0.04).\nAnswer: As ILC2s are elevated in patients with CRSwNP, they may drive nasal polyp formation in CRS. ILC2s are also linked with high tissue and blood eosinophilia and have a potential role in the activation and survival of eosinophils during the Th2 immune response. The association of innate lymphoid cells in CRS provides insights into its pathogenesis.\nAnswer: Are group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s ) increased in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps or eosinophilia?\nExplanation: The question is based on the following sentences from the two passages (i) Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) {ii) In the CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) population, ILC2s were increased in patients with co-existing asthma (iii) As ILC2s are elevated in patients with CRSwNP, they may drive nasal polyp formation in CRS. and (iv) ILC2s are also linked with high tissue and blood eosinophilia.\nPart 3.

As a result, cells with damaged DNA may continue to replicate unchecked, accumulating additional mutations that can contribute to tumorigenesis. The loss of p53's ability to coordinate DNA repair efficiently increases the likelihood of genetic instability and the development of cancerous growths.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you further elaborate on how the impaired DNA repair mechanisms due to p53 gene mutation specifically impact the accumulation of additional mutations within cells, potentially leading to tumorigenesis?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Certainly! When the p53 gene is mutated, its role in coordinating DNA repair is compromised, leading to an accumulation of genetic abnormalities within cells. The impaired DNA repair mechanisms result in cells being unable to effectively fix damaged DNA, allowing mutations to persist and accumulate over time. These accumulating mutations can disrupt normal cellular functions, promote uncontrolled cell growth, and ultimately contribute to the formation of tumors. Therefore, the compromised ability of p53-mutated cells to repair DNA properly creates an environment conducive to the accumulation of additional mutations, increasing the risk of tumorigenesis.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Leveraging the principle of leverage in garage storage systems can lead to significant improvements in lifting mechanisms. Here are a few examples and case studies showcasing successful applications:\n\n1. Counterweight Systems: Implementing counterweight systems that utilize leverage can effectively reduce the effort required to lift heavy objects in garage storage. By balancing the load with counterweights, the lifting process becomes more efficient and manageable.\n\n2.

Phosphate ions (PO4^3-) are taken up by plants using carrier proteins. Potassium ions (K+) are absorbed through channels in the cell membrane. Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur ions are also absorbed through specific transport proteins. Each of these mineral ions plays a crucial role in different physiological processes within the plant, such as enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and cell structure.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "How do different types of soil conditions affect the absorption of mineral ions by plant roots?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Different types of soil conditions can significantly impact the absorption of mineral ions by plant roots. For example:\n1. Soil pH levels: Plants have specific pH requirements for optimal growth. Acidic or alkaline soils can affect the availability of certain mineral ions, leading to deficiencies or toxicities.\n2. Soil texture: Soil texture, such as sandy, loamy, or clay soils, can influence the root's ability to access and absorb mineral ions. Sandy soils drain quickly, potentially causing leaching of nutrients, while clay soils may retain nutrients but limit root penetration.\n3. Soil compaction: Compacted soils can restrict root growth and reduce the surface area available for absorption, impacting the plant's ability to take up essential mineral ions.\n4. Soil moisture: Both excess water and drought conditions can hinder the root's ability to absorb mineral ions. Waterlogged soils can lead to root rot, affecting nutrient uptake, while drought conditions can cause wilting and reduce nutrient absorption.\n5. Soil salinity: High levels of salt in the soil can disrupt the balance of mineral ions within the plant, affecting nutrient uptake and overall plant health. Selecting plants adapted to saline conditions or implementing proper irrigation practices can help mitigate these effects.\n\nUnderstanding and managing these soil conditions are essential for ensuring optimal nutrient uptake by plant roots, promoting healthy growth and development.", "role": "assistant" } ]

A novel B-cell derived (Bcd) oncogene has been isolated from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of one B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patient using DNA transfer and a mouse tumorigenicity assay. The Bcd proto-oncogene was activated by a truncation in the 5' UTR. It predicts for two open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 consists of 240 bp that would encode 80 amino acids, while the major ORF2 consists of 648 bp capable of coding for 216 amino acids. Predicted peptide sequence of ORF2 contained a zinc finger domain which showed significant homology to GC box binding proteins BTEB2 and SP1. Transfection of an expression vector containing ORF2 but not full length cDNA was able to transform NIH3T3 cells and induce tumors in nude mice. Bcd mRNA transcripts of < or = 2. 6 kb were selectively expressed in PBL and testis of healthy individuals. Within the PBL, Bcd gene expression was restricted to CD19 + B-cells and absent from CD14 + monocytes and T-cells. Bcd transcripts were detected in all normal PBL samples tested but not in several malignant human B-cell lines and not in 50% of B-cells from B-CLL patients. However, stimulation of B-cells from B-CLL patients under conditions which induced differentiation into plasma cells was associated with induction of Bcd gene expression. The Bcd gene may therefore play an important role in B-cell growth and development.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNA\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"B-cells\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "user" }, { "content": "{\n \"DNA\": [\"TAL1\"],\n \"RNA\": [\"mRNAs\"],\n \"CellLine\": [\"T cells\", \"NIH3T3 cells\"],\n \"CellType\": [\"monocytes\", \"CD19 + B-cells\", \"CD14 + monocytes\", \"plasma cells\"],\n \"Protein\": [\"IL-2\", \"BTEB2\", \"SP1\"]\n}", "role": "assistant" } ]

It is a complex disorder associated with genetic and environmental factors and can be part of genetic syndromes. Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by a distinct facial phenotype, Hirschsprung disease, microcephaly and mental retardation. It is caused by mutations in the zinc finger homeo box 1B gene, ZFHX1B (SIP1). To date, 68 deletion/mutation-positive cases have been reported. Genitourinary anomalies are common in MWS. Here we report that hypospadias is common in males with this syndrome. In 39 patients where this information was available, hypospadias was present in 46% of patients (18/39). In the 3 Italian male cases reported here, hypospadias was always present. MWS should be considered by endocrinologists in patients with hypospadias associated with developmental delays/mental retardation, in particular in the presence of a distinct facial phenotype.\nExample Output: Which gene is responsible for the development of the Mowat-Wilson syndrome?\n\nExample Input: Born to Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and his first wife, Marudhar Kanwar of Jodhpur, Bhawani Singh was educated at Sheshbagh School, Srinagar, The Doon School, Dehradun, and later Harrow School in the United Kingdom.\nExample Output: Who was Bhawani Singh's father?\n\nExample Input: After a tough win over the Texans, the Steelers stayed home for a game against the Colts. In the first quarter, the Colts scored first as Adam Vinatieri nailed a 31-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. However, the Steelers took the lead later on in the quarter when Ben Roethlisberger found Markus Wheaton on an 18-yard TD pass for a 7-3 game. In the 2nd quarter, the Steelers would score again increasing their lead as Roethlisberger found Martavis Bryant on a 5-yard TD pass for a 14-3 game. This was followed by William Gay picking off Andrew Luck and returning it 33 yards for a TD as they increased their lead to 21-3. The Colts however responded as Andrew Luck threw a 21-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen for a 21-10 game. However, the Steelers pulled away as Roethlisberger would find Antonio Brown on 2 consecutive TD passes: from 8 and 47 yards out to increase their lead at first from 28-10 to 35-10. The Colts responded with 10 straight points first being Luck who found T. Y. Hilton on a 28-yard TD Pass for a 35-17 game followed by Vinatieri kicking a 23-yard field goal before halftime to make the score 35-20. The Steelers went back to work in the 3rd quarter as Roethlisberger and Bryant hooked up again on a 2-yard TD pass to increase their lead making the score 42-20. The Colts however were able to come within 8 later on when Ahmad Bradshaw ran for a 12-yard TD followed by Luck finding Donte Moncrief on a 31-yard TD pass to make the score 42-27 and then 42-34. In the 4th quarter, it was all Steelers when a penalty was enforced on Luck in the end zone for a safety making the score 44-34. The Steelers were able to seal the game later on when Roethlisberger found Heath Miller on an 11-yard TD pass for a final score of 51-34. Roethlisberger set franchise records with 522 yards passing and six touchdowns while picking up his 100th victory in his 150th start.

Also, the bringing-back-to-life of Poole- with intact memory and mental faculties- is not very believable. Answer:\nOPTIONS:\n- No\n- Yes\noutput: No\n\n\nQ: Is this product review positive?

I want the ability to reinstall Windows without buying another copy. I want to play without feeding in the CD. In short, I want games without SecuROM activation or CD checks. If you absolutely must use DRM, take a hint from Valve and their Steam content delivery system. Yes, it locks content to one account and requires Internet access, but you can download their games anywhere and it doesn't require further activation or CD checks. This system is actually useful, not restrictive to the user, and accomplishes the same end result.EA, take note: locking down users without a trade-off benefit will only end in failure.

[ { "content": "Write a coherent, elaborate, descriptive and detailed screenplay/shooting script, including a concise background (in which the events of the preceding scene leading to the events in the current scene are briefly described, explaining the source of the returning woman's surmounting urge to relieve herself and the reason why she hasn't relieved herself properly by the time she reaches the house), for a very long comedic scene (the scene, its contents and the interactions within it should develop organically and realistically, despite the absurdity; all character dialogues in the scene should have quotidian, simple language that people would actually use in such a scenario, with no excessive flourishes; all character dialogues should employ the vernacular/dialect that accurately fit the characters' backgrounds; all events and dialogues that occur once the returning woman enters the house should be described and elaborated upon in detail, without any of the prompts being omitted) in a Hindi Drama TV Serial that includes the following sequence of events:\n\n* A woman (give her a name and describe her appearance; she’s a plucky college student; she has an aversion from pooping in bathrooms outside the privacy of her home and is secretive about her bowel movements; she shouldn’t be wearing a dress, a skirt nor jeans in the scene) is returning home and approaching the door of her family’s house with a desperate urge to move her bowels.\n* When the returning woman reaches the door of the house, she realizes that she has misplaced her house key. The returning woman begins to frantically knock on the door, hoping that someone is present and might hear the knocks. A few moments pass without an answer. The returning woman's urge escalates to the brink of eruption.\n* Suddenly, the returning woman can hear a voice on the other side of the door asking about what’s happening - the voice of the present women (the present woman is the returning woman’s mom; give her a name and describe her appearance).\n* The present woman, after verifying the identity of the knocker, begins opening the door, but is taking too much time doing so for the returning woman's liking. The returning woman implores the present woman to open the door without specifying the source of urgency.\n* Once the present woman fully opens the door, the returning woman tells the present woman - who is standing in house’s entryway and is puzzled by the returning woman’s sense of urgency and even seems slightly concerned - to move out of the returning woman’s way and attempts to enter. As the returning woman attempts to enter the house, the obstructing present woman intercepts the returning woman and grabs on to her in concern.\n* The concerned present woman attempts to understand what’s wrong with the returning woman as she is gripping the returning woman and physically obstructing her path. The returning woman attempts to free herself from the present woman’s grip and get past her, and pleads with the obstructing present woman to step aside and just let her enter the house. The two women continue to bicker as they are entangled, with the present woman effectively denying the returning woman's access into the house out of concern. At no point during this exchange does the returning woman directly state that she has to reach the bathroom urgently. As this is happening, the returning woman's desperation to relieve herself is surging to its climax.\n* The returning woman reaches her limit and loses control. She groans abruptly and assumes an expression of shock and untimely relief on her face as she is gripped by the present woman, and begins pooping her pants. The perplexed present woman's grip loosens, and she tries to inquire what’s wrong with the returning woman. The returning woman gently breaks the perplexed present woman's grip by slowly receding to a stance that is more convenient for relieving herself. Once she assumes the stance, the returning woman proceeds to forcefully push the contents of her bowels into her pants, grunting with exertion and relief as she does so. The present woman is befuddled by the returning woman’s actions.\n* The present woman continues to ask the returning woman if anything is wrong with her, but is met in response with a hushed and strained reply that indicates the returning woman’s relief and satisfaction from releasing her bowels (hinting at the fact that the returning woman is relieving herself in her pants at that very moment and savoring the release), together with soft grunts of exertion that almost sound as if they are filled with relief-induced satisfaction. The present woman attempts to inquire about the returning woman’s condition once again, but reaps a similar result, as the returning woman hasn’t finished relieving herself in her pants and is still savoring the relief while muttering to herself about it. The present woman stares in confusion tinged with concern as the returning woman continues to grunt and push the contents of her bowels into her pants while her face alternates between concentration and suppressed euphoria.\n* As she is giving the returning woman a puzzled stare, the present woman is met with the odor that is emanating from the deposit in the returning woman’s pants, causing the present woman to initially sniff the air. As this the present woman sniffs the air, the returning woman finishes relieving herself in her pants with a sigh of relief.\n* The present woman sniffs the air again, physically reacts to the odor and then verbally inquires about the source of the odor. The returning woman stares the present woman with a sheepish expression. In a single moment that shatters any confusion or denial the present woman may have had until that point, it then dawns upon her what had just happened.\n* With disgusted bewilderment, the present woman asks the returning woman if she just did what she thinks she did. The question is met with the returning woman's mortified silence. Then, in a slightly more prodding manner, as she is still physically reacting to the odor, the present woman asks the returning woman if the odor is coming from something that the returning woman did. The returning woman tries to avoid explicitly admitting to what had happened, and asks the present woman to finally allow her to enter. The disgusted present woman lets the returning woman enter while still reacting to the odor.\n* Following this exchange, the returning woman gingerly waddles into the house while holding/cupping the seat of her pants, passing by the present woman. As the returning woman is entering and passing by the present woman, the astonished present woman halts the returning woman a few steps past the entrance, warns her not to proceed yet so none of her pants' contents will drop on the floor, and then scolds her for having pooped her pants. The returning woman initially reacts to this scolding with sheepish indignation. The present woman continues to tauntingly scold the returning woman for how dirty pooping her pants is and for how smelly she is right now. The returning woman remains standing in her spot, silently holding/cupping the seat of her pants in sheepish mortification, while the present woman physically reacts to the odor that is emanating from the returning woman and examining the returning woman at the same time. Then, the present exasperatedly tells the returning woman that there is no acceptable reason for the returning woman putting herself in a situation where she childishly poops her pants.\n* The returning woman, then, gradually starts growing out of her initial mortification and replies to the present woman with a playful sulk that what happened is the present woman’s fault because she took too long to open the door, then blocked the returning woman’s path and prevented the returning woman from accessing the bathroom before the urge got overbearing.\n* The present woman incredulously rejects the returning woman’s accusation as a viable excuse in any circumstances for a woman of the returning woman’s age. Then, she tauntingly scolds the returning woman for staying put at the entrance and childishly pushing out the whole bowel movement into her pants, insisting that there is no reason to do that even if the urge got overbearing.\n* The playfully disgruntled returning woman responds to the present woman’s admonishment by insisting that she desperately had to relieve her bowels and that she was compelled to release once getting past her breaking point as the urge was too strong, even if it meant that she would have to poop her pants. The returning woman blames the present woman's stalling and hindering for forcing the returning woman into such a situation and into making such a decision. Following this, the returning woman hesitantly appraises the bulk in the seat of her own pants with her hand as her face bears a playful wince mixed with complacency, then wryly remarks that it indeed felt relieving to finally release the poop, even at the expense of making a dirty mess in her pants for the sake of that relief, though she should now head to the bathroom to clean up. Then, as the returning woman gingerly attempts to head to the bathroom so she can clean up, the present women blocks and holds the returning woman for the purpose of scolding her over her last comments, effectively restraining the returning woman from heading to clean up. In response to the returning woman's last comments, the present woman mockingly admonishes the returning woman for being nasty because it seems like the returning woman feels good about something dirty like pooping her pants by expressing such relief once it happened.\n* Then, the present woman demands to get a closer look at the returning woman’s soiled pants in order to closely examine the dirty outcome of the returning woman's supposedly enjoyable deed. Following halfhearted resistance and protestation by the returning woman, the present woman succeeds in turning the returning woman around so she can inspect her rear end, and proceeds to incredulously taunt her for the nastiness of her bulging pants being full of so much poop. The present woman continues by tauntingly remarking that because it seemed like the returning woman felt so good as she was relieving herself in her pants, it wouldn't surprise the present woman if the returning woman also childishly enjoys having her pants be full of so much poop.\n* The returning woman coyly bickers with the present woman’s observation of her rear end, timidly protesting that her pants are so full because there was a lot in her stomach that needed to come out. As she speaks, the returning woman simultaneously touches the bulge with her hand. Then, she reiterates that despite of how dirty and full her pants are, she needed relief and the pooping felt relieving due to the overbearing pressure, so she might as well have gotten relief in its entirety.\n* In response, the present woman exclaims that the returning woman is nasty and tells her that she shouldn't have gotten herself into a situation where she poops her pants because of an overbearing urge or pressure in the first place. Then, the present woman goes on to assert that if the returning woman childishly poops her pants with satisfaction, then the returning woman should be treated like a child. While inspecting the bulge in the returning woman's pants in an infantilizing manner, the present woman proceeds to sniff near the seat of the returning woman’s pants as if the returning woman was an infant. The returning woman cringes as she is being inspected and sniffed by the present woman. Upon sniffing the seat of the returning woman's pants, the present woman mockingly reacts to the odor that is emanating from the returning woman with a physical gesture. As she is performing the physical gesture, the present woman ridicules the returning woman over how awfully smelly the seat of the childish returning woman's pants is and proceeds to mockingly scold the returning woman for being so smelly in an infantilizing manner.\n* As she’s physically reacting to her own odor, the returning woman admits that she is smelly in her present state, but then wryly remarks in resignation that since the present woman is withholding the returning woman from cleaning up, the present woman is welcome to keep the returning woman there in with the poop in her pants so they can both enjoy the odor that is emanating from the returning woman.\n* The present woman dismisses the returning woman's last remark, scoldingly informing the returning woman that the returning woman won't be staying there any longer with the poop in her pants because she unbearably stinks. Then, as she is still physically reacting to the odor, the present woman proceeds to adamantly usher the returning woman off to the bathroom for cleaning while reiterating that the returning woman unbearably stinks and imploring the returning woman not to drop any her pants' contents on the floor.\n* The returning woman begins to waddle off as the present woman is escorting her to the bathroom, all while the present woman is continuing to react to the odor and while she, with comical disgust, is trying to physically assist the waddling returning woman with containing the contents of the returning woman's pants within the pants so they won't fall on the floor along the way. Along their way to the bathroom, the present woman comically warns the returning woman to be mindful of not dropping any of her pants' contents on the floor and constantly complains about how badly the returning woman stinks. For her part, the returning woman is bashedly cringing and telling the returning woman that she feels like some of the mess is about to slide down her pants onto the floor. In reply, the present woman reiterates her exasperated warnings to the returning woman not to drop any of the mess that is in her pants on the the floor, while also reinforcing her own physical actions that attempt to assist the returning woman with the containment.\n* Upon reaching the bathroom, the returning woman teases the present woman one final time by stopping in place on the bathroom's threshold instead of entering and coyly asking the present woman if she would like to change the returning woman's \"diaper\". As the returning woman is asking this, she is grabbing the bulge in her pants with one hand and holding/plugging her nose with the other. In retaliation for the returning woman's insolent teasing and as the climax for the present woman's incredulous frustration over the situation that has been building during the scene, the affronted present woman playfully grabs the bulge in the seat of the returning woman's pants and presses it to push the returning woman into the bathroom, forcefully and deliberately squashing the bulge and spreading the mess in the returning woman's pants in the process. With one hand holding/plugging her nose, the present woman exasperatedly tells the returning woman to get her dirty and smelly self into the bathroom immediately as she is forcefully squashing the bulge and pushing the returning woman into the bathroom with the other hand. As the bulge in her pants is being squashed and she is being pushed into the bathroom, the returning woman cries out in disgust and exclaims that the squashed mess has spread and smeared inside her pants. After the returning woman has been pushed into the bathroom, the present woman keeps holding/plugging her nose in reaction to the odor that lingers while audibly complaining about how terribly the returning woman stinks.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Title: \"Oopsie Daisy\"\n\nBackground:\nIn the previous scene, our plucky college student, Ria, faced a dilemma during a college outing when nature called with urgency.
