TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Question: Do feasibility of using tissue Doppler velocities in stress echo during upright bicycle exercise?
Answer: Tissue velocities decreased from base to apex. Mean difference between the raters was-0.02 cm/sec at rest and 0.45 cm/sec during exercise. Peak-to-peak variability was lowest in the mitral ring during rest (10-14%) and increased at peak exercise (15-21%). The proportion of segments eligible for analysis was 84% in the septum and 67% in the anterior wall during exercise. Thus, in patients with normal coronary arteries, tissue Doppler velocities decrease from base toward the apex during bicycle exercise. Interrater agreement is reduced during exercise and beat-to-beat variability is lowest in the mitral ring.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Does glutamine supplementation prevent bacterial translocation after non-lethal haemorrhage in rats?
Answer: Glutamine supplementation before haemorrhage did not reduce bacterial translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes in this rat model.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Is mitochondrial DNA copy number associated with diagnosis and prognosis of head and neck cancer?
Answer: mtDNA copy number appears to be associated with HNC stage and survival, but confirmation requires similar studies in larger cohorts.

SOLUTION:
yes
