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.

[EX Q]: Question: Is periodontitis an independent risk indicator for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases among 60 174 participants in a large dental school in the Netherlands?
Answer: This cross-sectional analysis of a large cohort in the Netherlands of 60 174 participants shows the independent association of periodontitis with ACVD.
[EX A]: yes

[EX Q]: Question: Is human endogenous retrovirus ( HERV ) expression induced by treatment with the histone deacetylase ( HDAC ) inhibitors in cellular models of HIV-1 latency?
Answer: We show that HDAC inhibitors did not substantially increase the transcription of the analysed HERV env or pol genes, suggesting that histone acetylation is not crucial for controlling HERV expression in these experimental models and in ex vivo primary human T cells. Importantly, this indicates that unwanted HERV expression does not appear to be a barrier to the use of HDAC inhibitors in HIV-1 cure strategies.
[EX A]: no

[EX Q]: Question: Does pre-transplant quality of life predict survival after lung transplantation?
Answer: Results suggest that scores on the various HRQL measures before transplantation did not predict survival after lung transplantation. The present results do not support the usefulness of pre-transplant HRQL measures for the selection of lung transplant candidates or their urgency for transplantation.
[EX A]:
no
