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.

Example Input: 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. Compared with previous smaller studies these results add to more definite conclusions.
Example Output: no

Example Input: Question: Is the serum level of NX-DCP-R , but not DCP , increased in alcoholic liver disease without hepatocellular carcinoma?
Answer: NX-DCP-R, but not DCP, was not increased in alcoholics without HCC. As for negative screening for HCC, the specificity of the NX-DCP-R in alcoholics without HCC was better than that of DCP in alcoholics without HCC, and so could be a useful negative screening tool for HCC in millions of alcoholics worldwide.
Example Output: no

Example Input: Question: Are lateral-compartment Osteophytes Associated With Lateral-compartment Cartilage Degeneration in Arthritic Varus Knees?
Answer: Lateral-compartment osteophytes are not associated with biomechanically weaker cartilage or with more-advanced histologic signs of degeneration of lateral-compartment cartilage in knees with varus arthritis. Given the small sample size of 71, the study was underpowered to detect small-to-modest decreases in biomechanical properties. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the current findings.
Example Output:
no
