Acute Hypercalcemia and Increased Work Load in Canine Transplanted Heart
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Coronary vasodilator adjustments following cardiac transplantation might be adversely affected during severe rejection. We studied the coronary blood flow response following intravenous bolus administration of calcium (0.04-0.05 mEq/kg) in canine cardiac transplants. Fifteen dogs were submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation and equipped with electronic implants for monitoring of hemodynamic parameters. Of these animals, 9 were not immunosuppressed, while 6 were treated with ciclosporin, azathioprine, and prednisone. The effects of calcium administration upon cardiac function were evaluated during the postoperative period, at recovery (2-3 days after transplantation) and during severe rejection (7-10 days after transplantation), and also in immunosuppressed animals. Rapid calcium administration elicits brief increases in arterial pressure, cardiac index, stroke work, and coronary blood flow. There were significant differences in these effects, depending on the hemodynamic status of these animals. Coronary blood flow was significantly increased in all experiments, except when severe rejection was evidenced. These results indicate that changes in myocardial metabolic demand (work load) are not adequately matched with coronary blood flow adjustments in the presence of severe rejection.

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.
