TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACKS AND MINOR STROKES: HOW NEWER TECHNOLOGIES ARE HELPING IN BETTER DIAGNOSIS OF HIGH-RISK PATIENTS AND RESPONSE TO TREATMENT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death. In more than 30% of patients a disabling stroke is preceded by milder transient symptoms. The risk of stroke in patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and minor stroke may be very high in the initial days following the symptoms. Identification of such patients and appropriate treatment can lead to a significant decrease in the risk of subsequent stroke. This review will focus on two important issues; the impact of introduction of newer technology on identification of high-risk patients and the recent advances in antithrombotic therapy in stroke prevention in patients with TIAs and minor stroke. Appropriate use of imaging and cardiac rhythm monitoring allow for identification of high risk patients and the use of dual antiplatelet therapy early, following an acute TIA or minor stroke, significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. Key Words: transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), Stroke, Ischemic Stroke.

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.
