Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 12th World Congress for Bronchology (WCB) and 12th World Congress for Bronchoesophagology (WCBE) were held at Marriott Copley Place Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., June 16 to 20, 2002. The Congresses were attended by 470 physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists from 39 countries. John F. Beamis, Jr., M.D. was President of the WCB and Stanley M. Shapshay, M.D., was President of the WCBE. Other members of the local organizing committee included Sheila Cuniff, R.N., Armin Ernst, M.D., and members of the Tufts University School of Medicine Office of Continuing Education. Two hundred fifty-three abstracts were received for oral and poster presentations. Fifteen videos were submitted for the video contest. Highlights of the Congress included a tribute to Dr. Shigeto Ikeda and presentation of bronchoscopic equipment to the World Bronchology Foundation by Olympus America, Inc., during the opening ceremony; the social evening at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library and Museum; and a congenial closing banquet during which Dr. Donald Zavala reminisced about his experiences establishing flexible bronchoscopy in the United States. The scientific program was well received and included historical venues that began each day along with symposia, pro/con sessions, state-of-the-art presentations by expert invited speakers, “how I do it” sessions, panel discussions, and oral presentations of submitted abstracts. A special one-day program for nurses and respiratory therapists was very successful. Five satellite symposia were held during the Congress. Monduzzi Editore published the Proceedings of the 12th WCB/12th WCBE. Information about obtaining a copy of the proceedings can be obtained at http://www.monduzzi.com. Selected abstracts from the WCB and WCBE will be published in the Journal of Bronchology July/August and September/October 2002 issues. The Ikeda–Dotoi Medals were presented to outstanding WCB oral and poster abstracts and to the winner of the combined WCB/WCBE video contest. Dr. Yukihito Saito of Kyoto, Japan, received the Ikeda–Dotoi prize for the oral presentation New Tubular Bioabsorbable Knitted Airway Stent. Dr. Kojo Kojima from the University of Massachusetts Medical School received the Ikeda–Dotoi prize for the poster presentation Tissue Engineered Trachea Using Sheep Nasal Chondrocytes with Pluronic F127. Dr. Roberto Puxeddu of Cagliari, Italy, received the Ikeda–Dotoi medal for the video presentation CO2Laser Microsurgery for Selected Cases of Supraglottic Carcinomas. The WCBE awarded the first prize for oral presentation to Dr. Tatsuo Nakamura of Kyoto, Japan, for his work entitled Tracheal Reconstruction with In Situ Tissue Engineering Using a New Artificial Trachea for Tracheal Stenosis. The WCBE first prize for poster presentation was awarded to Dr. Hidetake Yoshihashi from Tokyo, Japan, for the poster entitled Thyroplasty Type 1 or Arytenoid Adduction for Patients with Unilateral Laryngeal Paralysis. The Gustav Killian Award of the WAB was presented to Dr. Stephen Lam of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for his outstanding contributions to the field of bronchology and early detection of lung cancer. At the closing banquet, the flag of the WAB was passed to Dr. J. Pablo Diaz–Jimenez, President and organizer of the 13th WCB, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, in June 2004. Dr. Mario Andrea of Lisbon, Portugal, President of the 13th WCBE, will hold the flag of the International Bronchoesophagology Society (IBES) and assist with planning the next Congress. The organizing committee wishes to thank the WAB for awarding us the honor of hosting the World Congress for Bronchology in Boston and wishes particularly to thank Mr. Tatsuo Maeda for his counsel and guidance during our preparations.

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.
