Gastrointestinal: Gastrogastric intussusception
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intussusception is defined as the invagination of one part of the gastrointestinal tract into another. This almost always involves invagination of a proximal segment of bowel (intussusceptum) into an adjacent distal segment (intussuscipiens). Intussusception can be restricted to either the small bowel or the large bowel or may involve both the small and large bowel. The development of intussusception almost always results in a partial or complete bowel obstruction and may result in intestinal ischemia or infarction. The disorder is much more frequent in children (90%) than in adults. Furthermore, only approximately 5% of children have a clearly defined cause for intussusception such as a polyp or a Meckel's diverticulum. In contrast, at least 90% of adults have an anatomical abnormality, usually a benign or malignant neoplasm. In children, the typical site for intussusception is ileocolic (80%) but in adults, the majority are either ileo-ileal or colocolic. In the proximal gastrointestinal tract, intussusception is rare but there are case reports of gastroduodenal intussusception associated with gastric polyps and intussusception at the site of a gastrojejunostomy. In the case outlined below, gastrogastric intussusception occurred because of a stromal cell tumor in the upper stomach. As far as we are aware, there is only one previous case in the English literature. An 83-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with a 3-month history of melena and weight loss. Blood tests revealed a severe iron deficiency anemia with a hemoglobin of 6.3 g/dL (63 g/l). A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a gastrogastric intussusception that seemed likely to be secondary to a mass in the gastric cardia. In the axial image in Figure 1, the mass formed the high-density center that was surrounded by the swollen wall of the intussusceptum (arrow), the low-density layer of mesogastric fat (arrowhead) and the distal gastric wall (intussuscipiens). In another image (Figure 2), mesogastric fat and blood vessels were drawn into the intussusception (arrow). At endoscopy, there was a mass, 5 cm in diameter, in the upper stomach with active bleeding from the mucosal surface. This was confirmed at laparotomy and she was treated with a local gastric resection. Histological evaluation revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
