Ex Input: Question: Are leg muscle reflexes mediated by cutaneous A-beta fibres normal during gait in reflex sympathetic dystrophy? Answer: In the acute phase of RSD of the lower extremity there is no evidence for abnormal A-beta fibre-mediated reflexes or for defective regulation of such reflexes. This finding has implications for both the theory on RSD pathophysiology and RSD models, which are based on abnormal functioning of A-beta fibres. Ex Output: yes Ex Input: Question: Is the female protective effect in autism spectrum disorder mediated by a single genetic locus? Answer: The results do not support the hypothesis that the FPE is mediated by a single genetic locus; however, this does not exclude the possibility of multiple genetic loci playing a role in the FPE. Ex Output: no Ex Input: Question: Does sevoflurane alter norepinephrine-induced intracellular Ca² ( + ) changes in the diabetic rat aorta? Answer: Sevoflurane at clinically relevant concentrations inhibited the NE-induced increase in [Ca²(+)](i) in the aortic smooth muscle from normal rats but not in that from type 2 DM rats. Thus, a Ca²(+)- signalling pathway resistant to sevoflurane appears to exist in the type 2 DM rat aorta. Ex Output:

Ex Input: Question: Is premature immunosenescence associated with memory dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis? Answer: RA patients had reduced memory performance compared to healthy controls. Expansion of activated and senescence-associated T cells was correlated with poor memory performance. Ex Output: yes Ex Input: Question: Do workers of a drywood termite work? Answer: Thus, in contrast to general perception where termite workers are considered equivalent to workers in Hymenoptera, the 'large immatures' of C. secundus did not behave as workers that help in raising younger siblings. This apparently is not necessary as the colony lives inside its food. These results, which are likely to be typical for wood-dwelling termites, open the possibility that large complex group living can evolve without altruistic helping and that costly altruistic helping by workers in termites evolved only as a second step. Ex Output: no Ex Input: Question: Are diabetes and increased lipid peroxidation associated with systemic inflammation even in well-controlled patients? Answer: These findings show that dyslipidemia is associated with an increased inflammatory status, even in well-controlled diabetics and in normoglycemics. Our results suggest that lipid metabolism and peroxidation are important for the development of inflammation, which is elevated in several complications associated with diabetes. Ex Output:

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. Input: Consider Input: Question: Is cytoplasmic expression of β-catenin an independent predictor of progression of conventional renal cell carcinoma : a simple immunostaining score? Answer: Cytoplasmic β-catenin expression is an independent prognostic factor for conventional RCC, and may help to identify patients with a high risk of cancer-specific death and to direct optimized active surveillance or adjuvant therapy. Output: yes Input: Consider Input: Question: Are anticytomegalovirus antibody titres associated with caregiving burden in younger caregivers? Answer: These data suggest that in the absence of immunosenescence, the chronic stress of caregiving is not sufficient to compromise the immune response to persistent CMV infection. However, an indirect mechanism to poorer health in caregivers might be via adoption of disadvantageous health behaviours in response to stress. Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Older caregivers of spouses with dementia show a poorer immune response against latent viruses when compared to age- and sex-matched controls. Younger parental caregivers of children with developmental disabilities show a poorer antibody response to vaccination. What does this study add? The study showed no association between caregiving stress and CMV antibody titre in young caregivers. There were higher CMV antibody titres in the caregivers who engage in unhealthy behaviours. Output: no Input: Consider Input: Question: Is whole-body heat loss during exercise in the heat impaired in type 1 diabetes? Answer: During light-to-moderate-intensity exercise performed under conditions permitting full sweat evaporation, otherwise healthy type 1 diabetic individuals did not show impaired heat loss responses during heat exposure when compared with matched individuals without diabetes.

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: Does clinical examination assist in the detection of systemic relapse of testicular germ cell tumour? Answer: We suggest that, for patients following a planned programme of appointments and investigations, physical examination rarely contributes to the detection of systemic relapse in the follow-up of testicular germ cell tumours. It may therefore be possible to reconfigure follow-up to focus on investigations and telephone contact. We estimate that this change might be appropriate for 40% of attendances and might be welcomed by patients, many of whom find follow-up burdensome. If such a change were considered, patient education would be essential to ensure continuing compliance with the follow-up protocol. Example Output: no Example Input: Question: Do an update in the palliative management of malignant dysphagia? Answer: Palliative treatment for oesophageal cancer should be individualized and relate to tumour stage, size and location, the patient's medical condition and his/her personal wishes. The palliative treatment largely includes self-expanding metal stents (SEMS), laser (including photodynamic therapy (PDT)) or a combination of the two to relieve symptoms, this may be employed with or without other treatments such as radiotherapy/chemotherapy (RT/CT) with the aim of reducing tumour bulk and possibly prolonging survival. A multi-disciplinary approach is vital in patients with advanced oesophageal cancer. Example Output: yes Example Input: Question: Does formononetin attenuate hydrogen peroxide ( H2O2 ) -induced apoptosis and NF-κB activation in RGC-5 cells?

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. Output: yes 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. New input case for you: Question: Do dietary fats contribute to hyperlipidemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes?

Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question. [Q]: Question: Is [ Sense of agency : experiencing judging ]? Answer: The conception of the sense of agency has greatly evolved over the years, mainly because of the various experimental methods employed. The consequences of this are the various theoretical interpretations given to the characteristics of the sense of agency. They can be explained in two main points: a non-unified definition of the sense of agency and an absence of experimental data testing alternative interpretations. First, protocols using attribution judgements have proven to be useful to gain better understanding of the attribution mechanism in schizophrenia. However, findings obtained with these judgments have often been used to conclude on deficits of the sense of agency in schizophrenia, whereas the sense of agency is only a sub component of these judgements. [A]: no [Q]: Question: Does variation in the gene for human peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma ( PPARgamma ) play a major role in the development of morbid obesity?

[EX Q]: Question: Does the phospholipase A ( 2 ) inhibitor methyl indoxam suppress diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance in mice? Answer: These results show that oral supplementation of a diabetogenic diet with the Pla2g1b inhibitor methyl indoxam effectively suppresses diet-induced obesity and diabetes in mice. This suggests that Pla2g1b inhibition may be a potentially effective oral therapeutic option for treatment of obesity and diabetes. [EX A]: yes [EX Q]: Question: Does surfactant replacement therapy on ECMO improve outcome in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia? Answer: The data from this study suggest that surfactant replacement on ECMO for neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia does not provide significant benefit in the infant's clinical course with respect to survival, length of ECMO course, length of intubation, or subsequent need for supplemental oxygen. [EX A]: no [EX Q]: Question: Does incidental mediastinal dose explain low mediastinal node recurrence rates in patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy? Answer: Low mediastinal recurrence rates in stage I NSCLC treated with SBRT validates the omission of staging mediastinoscopy. The low incidental dose to MLNSs does not seem to explain the low mediastinal recurrence in the majority of patients. Our findings also confirm that prophylactic radiation to the mediastinum is not necessary and support the hypothesis that local ablation of the primary lesion could indirectly affect subclinical nodal disease through unknown mechanisms.

[EX Q]: Question: Is [ The increase in the speed of the pulse wave associated with elevated central blood pressure in hypertensive patients with kidney disease ]? Answer: In hypertensive patients with renal disease PWV is increased, but not the AIx. We believe that the AIx is not a reliable measure of arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients with kidney disease. [EX A]: no [EX Q]: Question: Do alpha-2 adrenoreceptors probably mediate the immobility produced by inhaled anesthetics? Answer: Although stimulation (agonism) of alpha-2 adrenoreceptors can decrease the inhaled anesthetic concentration required to produce immobility in the face of noxious stimulation, blockade of alpha-2 adrenoreceptors minimally affects the concentration. Thus, augmentation of the effect of alpha-2 adrenoreceptors is not an appreciable part of the mechanism whereby inhaled anesthetics produce immobility. [EX A]: no [EX Q]: Question: Does serum α-hydroxybutyrate ( α-HB ) predict elevated 1 h glucose levels and early-phase β-cell dysfunction during OGTT? Answer: Fasting serum α-HB levels predicted elevated 1 h glucose during OGTT, potentially due to impaired insulin secretion kinetics. This association persisted even in patients with an otherwise normal insulin-glucose homeostasis. Measuring serum α-HB could thus provide a rapid, inexpensive screening tool for detecting early subclinical hyperglycemia, β-cell dysfunction, and increased risk for diabetes. [EX A]:

Answer: Our study showed that the diagnostic prerequisites were widely unfulfilled, although approximately half of the diagnoses were conclusive for inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, in our assessment of clinical practice: (1) clinicians seldom provide suitable clinical and/or endoscopic information for a histological diagnosis and (2) histopathological diagnoses of inflammatory bowel disease are often not supported by morphology. SOLUTION: yes PROBLEM: Question: Is elevated alanine aminotransferase activity associated with dyslipidemias , but related to insulin resistance and higher disease grades in non-diabetic non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? Answer: This study shows that the associations of increased ALT serum levels in NAFLD patients are different from what are supposed before. By excluding diabetic patients from our population, we find that increased ALT levels are not associated with dyslipidemias but are independently associated with insulin resistance and NAFLD grading on ultrasonographic evaluations. Further studies are needed to confirm our results. SOLUTION:

Answer: Our results suggest that both IL-1beta and IL-6 contribute to the pathogenesis of unstable angina, and that the profile of circulating plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines differs in unstable angina from that in stable angina. Abbreviated Abstract. Multiple studies support a role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis and unstable cardiac syndromes. We measured plasma levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in patients with stable and unstable coronary syndromes. Levels of IL-1beta and IL-6 were found to be elevated in patients with unstable coronary syndromes. No significant differences were found in the levels of TNF-alpha. Our results suggest that both IL-1beta and IL-6 contribute to the pathogenesis of unstable angina.

Detailed Instructions: 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: Does losartan counteract the hyper-reactivity to angiotensin II and ROCK1 over-activation in aortas isolated from streptozotocin-injected diabetic rats? Answer: Aortas isolated from STZ-rats present hyper-contracture to AT-II mainly dependent on the up-regulation of ROCK1 expression/activity. In vivo losartan treatment partially corrects AT-II hyper-contracture, limiting the increase in ROCK1 expression/activity. These data offer a new molecular mechanism supporting the rationale for using losartan in the prevention of diabetic vascular complications. Solution:
yes

Ex Input: Question: Does pharmacological preconditioning using intraportal infusion of L-arginine protect against hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury? Answer: Pharmacological preconditioning with intraportal L-arginine provided protection against hepatic I/RI in early phases of the reperfusion period. The mechanisms underlying the protective effect may include preservation of the mitochondrial structure and inhibition of caspase-3 activity. Ex Output: yes Ex Input: Question: Does a protein complex containing Inscuteable and the Galpha-binding protein Pins orient asymmetric cell divisions in Drosophila? Answer: Pins and Inscuteable are dependent on each other for asymmetric localisation in delaminated neuroblasts. The binding of Pins to Galpha protein offers the intriguing possibility that Inscuteable and Pins might orient asymmetric cell divisions by localising or locally modulating a heterotrimeric G-protein signalling cascade at the apical cell cortex. Ex Output: yes Ex Input: Question: Are myopia and/or longer axial length protective against diabetic retinopathy : a meta-analysis? Answer: This meta-analysis suggests that both myopic refraction and longer AL are associated with a lower risk of DR. Further studies are needed to determine exact mechanisms underpinning the protective effect of myopia against DR. Ex Output:
yes

instruction: 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. question: 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. answer: yes question: Question: Does growth hormone ( GH ) treatment restore endothelial function in children with GH deficiency? Answer: These results indicate that endothelial function is impaired in children with GHD. GH therapy does not restore the impairment. answer: no question: Question: Does comorbidity influence multiple aspects of well-being of patients with ischemic heart disease? Answer: This study showed a consistent pattern of associations between somatic comorbidities and multiple aspects of well-being among patients with IHD. Findings may increase cardiologists' interest to identify and treat somatic conditions among IHD patients. answer:
yes

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. [Q]: Question: Do novel meta-analysis-derived type 2 diabetes risk loci determine prediabetic phenotypes? Answer: In contrast to the first series of GWA-derived type 2 diabetes candidate SNPs, we could not detect reliable associations of the novel risk loci with prediabetic phenotypes. Possible weak effects of ADAMTS9 SNP rs4607103 and VEGFA SNP rs9472138 on insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion, respectively, await further confirmation by larger studies. [A]: no [Q]: Question: Are the Randomized Olmesartan and Diabetes Microalbuminuria Prevention ( ROADMAP ) observational follow-up study : benefits of RAS blockade with olmesartan treatment sustained after study discontinuation? Answer: Development of microalbuminuria is a valid marker for future CV events. RAS blockade with Olmesartan might cause sustained reduction (legacy effect) of micro- and macrovascular events. [A]: yes [Q]: Question: Does early cleavage predict treatment outcome following the use of GnRH antagonists in women older than 35? Answer: In women older than 35 years, the early-cleavage rate of zygotes is significantly lower in the GnRH antagonist group than the agonist group. Early-cleavage status of zygotes is not a reliable predictor for embryo implantation in patients receiving the GnRH antagonist protocol. [A]:
no

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: Are intrafollicular interleukin-8 , interleukin-12 , and adrenomedullin the promising prognostic markers of oocyte and embryo quality in women with endometriosis? Answer: The levels of IL-8, IL-12, and adrenomedullin may be good indicators of embryo and oocyte quality in endometriosis patients undergoing IVF. Further studies are necessary to ascertain the potential of these markers for oocyte and embryo developmental competence which may help improve the chances of a successful IVF in endometriosis patients. SOLUTION: yes PROBLEM: Question: Does co-Transplantation of Skin-Derived Precursors and Collagen Sponge facilitate Diabetic Wound Healing by Promoting Local Vascular Regeneration? Answer: Accelerated wound healing and enhanced local capillary regeneration could be observed 14 days after skin ablation from both SKPs and collagen sponge co-transplanted and collagen sponge only groups. Subsequent analyses further revealed superior pro-angiogenic effects from the SKP and collagen sponge co-delivered group, which are mainly attributable to in vivo transdifferentation and paracrine signalling of the SKPs. SOLUTION: yes PROBLEM: Question: Is dietary counseling associated with an improved lipid profile in children with familial hypercholesterolemia? Answer: FH children had a higher intake of SFA than recommended and the SFA intake was positively correlated with plasma TC, LDL-C and apo B levels in FH children not using statins. Importantly, the plasma lipid profile was improved in FH children after dietary counseling where focus was on reducing intake of SFA and dietary cholesterol. SOLUTION:
yes

Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question. PROBLEM: Question: Do extremely cold and hot temperatures increase the risk of diabetes mortality in metropolitan areas of two Chinese cities? Answer: The results indicate that both extremely cold and hot temperatures increase diabetes mortality in different manners in Harbin and Chongqing. Diabetes education programs should include information on either managing or combating the effects of extreme hot and cold weather. SOLUTION: yes PROBLEM: Question: Is [ The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting effected by routinely applied manual pre-oxygenation during induction of anesthesia ]? Answer: Since neither routine pre-intubation positive pressure mask ventilation nor the medical qualification of the anesthesilogist affect the incidence of PONV neither variable needs to be taken into account in studies concerning PONV. SOLUTION: no PROBLEM: Question: Are health care workers in Pearl River Delta Area of China vaccinated adequately against hepatitis B : a retrospective cohort study?
