The Houston Society of Clinical Pathologists 55th Annual Spring Symposium, April 2014
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Houston Society of Clinical Pathologists educational activity culminates in the Spring Symposium, held every year in April in Houston, Texas. The guest faculty is sponsored by the institutions that form the famed Texas Medical Center and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. The articles selected for this special section are based on presentations at the symposium and at sponsoring institutions and will appear in 2 parts: part I is in this issue of the Archives, and part II will be in the July issue.The special section comprises 8 articles written by distinguished, nationally and internationally recognized experts in gastrointestinal (GI) and liver pathology from the United States and Canada. In this issue, part I of the special section will include 4 articles: “Esophagitis: Old Histologic Concepts and New Thoughts,” “Molecular and Histologic Considerations in the Assessment of Serrated Polyps,” “IgG4-Related Disease of the Gastrointestinal Tract: A 21st Century Chameleon,” and “Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Luminal Gastrointestinal Tract.”In the next issue of the Archives, part II will also include 4 articles: “Difficult Diagnostic Problems in Pancreatobiliary Neoplasia,” “Pathophysiology and Diseases of the Terminal Pathways of the Biliary System,” “Hepatic Granulomas: A Review With Emphasis on Infectious Causes,” and “Drug-Induced Liver Injury.” Each of these topics poses certain challenges to the practicing surgical pathologist. Authors are allowed to express their personal opinions and preferences in these articles. Although some readers may disagree with some of the opinions presented in these reviews, I believe most readers (including myself) will benefit from the personal experiences of these highly regarded and respected authors. I hope you enjoy reading this section and find the information presented useful in your daily practice.We thank Ms LaCoya Boone whose support, organizational skills, and tireless efforts made the symposium a success.Mamoun Younes, MD, is a professor of pathology and director of the gastrointestinal (GI) and liver pathology service at the University of Texas Medical School (Houston). Following graduation with an MD degree from the Faculty of Medicine of Aleppo University in Syria, Dr Younes completed a basic science fellowship at the Digestive Disease Branch, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, Maryland), followed by residency training in anatomic pathology at Yale University School of Medicine (New Haven, Connecticut), then a GI pathology fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas). In addition to his interest in GI pathology, his research interests include premalignant and malignant tumors of the GI tract, liver, and pancreas; biomarkers; immunohistochemistry; and image analysis. Dr Younes is also currently a section editor, Gastrointestinal Pathology, for the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine.Asif Rashid, MBBS, PhD, is a professor of pathology and section chief of the Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology Section at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston).

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
