Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question. Let me give you an example: Question: Are group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s ) increased in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps or eosinophilia? Answer: 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. The answer to this example can be: yes Here is why: The answer clearly says that ICLSs are elevated, which is exactly what the question asks. Hence, the output will be yes and it is correct.

Ex Output: yes Ex Input: Question: Does neutralization of vascular endothelial growth factor slow progression of retinal nonperfusion in patients with diabetic macular edema? Answer: Just as high VEGF levels contribute to progression of retinal nonperfusion in retinal vein occlusion, the same is true in patients with DME, suggesting that regardless of the underlying disease process, high levels of VEGF can cause closure of retinal vessels. However, our data also suggest that VEGF-induced worsening of retinal perfusion in DME is superimposed on another cause of more gradually worsening perfusion, possibly glucotoxicity. Thus, monthly injections of ranibizumab can slow, but not completely prevent, retinal capillary closure in patients with DME. Ex Output:
yes

Let me give you an example: Question: Are group 2 innate lymphoid cells ( ILC2s ) increased in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps or eosinophilia? Answer: 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. The answer to this example can be: yes Here is why: The answer clearly says that ICLSs are elevated, which is exactly what the question asks. Hence, the output will be yes and it is correct. OK. solve this: Question: Does standardizing corneal nerve fibre length for nerve tortuosity increase its association with measures of diabetic neuropathy? Answer: Standardizing corneal nerve fibre length for tortuosity enhances the ability to differentiate individuals with diabetes, with and without neuropathy. Answer:
yes

Q: Question: Is neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio a reliable predictive marker for early-stage diabetic nephropathy? Answer: Increased NLR was significantly associated with DN, and high NLR values may be a reliable predictive marker of early-stage DN. A: yes **** Q: Question: Do tECPR2 mutations cause a new subtype of familial dysautonomia like hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy with intellectual disability? Answer: We suggest that the disease should therefore be classified as a new subtype of hereditary sensory-autonomic neuropathy. The discovery of additional mutations in non-Bukharian patients implies that this disease might be more common than previously appreciated and should therefore be considered in undiagnosed cases of intellectual disability with autonomic features and respiratory symptoms regardless of demographic origin. A: yes **** Q: Question: Are epstein-Barr virus and human herpes virus-8 associated with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma? Answer: Angiofibroma does not appear to be associated with either HHV-8 or EBV, thereby excluding these viruses as potential etiologic agents. The lack of a correlation between the proliferative index and the age of the patient suggests the proposed puberty induced, testosterone-dependent tumor growth may not play a significant role in tumor development. A:
no ****

Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question. [EX Q]: Question: Are levels of soluble CD30 in cord blood and peripheral blood during childhood correlated with the development of atopic disease or a family history of atopy? Answer: These findings indicate that the sCD30 concentration in cord blood is not a reliable prognostic indicator of, nor a useful diagnostic marker for, atopic disease in children up to 7 years of age. If such correlations do exist, they might be masked by age-dependent variations in the circulating levels of sCD30, which may reflect individual differences in the maturation of children's immunological responses. [EX A]: no [EX Q]: Question: Are mannose-binding lectin polymorphisms associated with rheumatoid arthritis -- confirmation in two large cohorts? Answer: MBL genotype groups are not associated with RA disease susceptibility or severity in this large study including a confirmation cohort.
