Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A 16-year-old girl with presumed Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease presented to the emergency department with an acute onset of lower limb weakness. She was unable to walk where previously she had been fully ambulatory. One month before presentation, she had a three-week history of abdominal pain. Five days before presentation, she developed bilateral shoulder and upper back pain. The morning of her presentation, she had difficulty getting up off the floor and getting in and out of the bathtub. She reported that her legs were numb and ‘wobbly’. She had no presyncopal symptoms. She denied urinary incontinence. Bowel dysfunction was difficult to assess because she usually stooled once per week. She had no fevers or night sweats. Her history was significant for orthopaedic surgeries. She was followed for bilateral pes cavus deformities and progressive right foot varus deformity for which she had required surgery several years earlier. Her presumed diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease was based on her orthopaedic findings and her family history. Her mother, maternal aunt and other relatives on her mother's side had been diagnosed by genetic testing. The patient herself had not had genetic testing and was not followed by a neurologist at the time of presentation. As a result, her premorbid neurological examination was unknown.

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.

Not 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.
