Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A case of sarcoidal-type allergic contact granuloma due to palladium is presented. The patient developed papulonodular lesions at the right earlobe after ear piercing, which after 3 to 4 years became more granulomatous and very resistant to treatment. Repeated intralesional injections with corticosteroids produced only a temporary regression of the lesions. Patch testing revealed a strong positive reaction to palladium (and nickel). Biopsy specimens taken from the persistent granulomatous lesion in the nodule at the earlobe, as well as from the site of the positive test reaction to palladium several weeks after patch testing, indicated epithelioid granulomas with some multinucleate histiocytes surrounded by a lymphocytic-histiocytic infiltrate. Similar cases (also with other metals) have been reported in the literature.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
