Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether FloSeal Matrix Hemostatic Sealant is a safe and effective means of controlling bleeding post-endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and to assess postoperative healing. DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: University of Toronto. METHODS: Eighteen patients with FloSeal placed on a total of 30 operative sites post-ESS. Time to cessation of bleeding was assessed intraoperatively. Patients had the operative sites assessed at 30 days postoperatively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effectiveness of FloSeal in controlling bleeding and aiding in healing of the operative site. RESULTS: FloSeal adequately controls postoperative bleeding in patients post-ESS. Healing was also not adversely affected. CONCLUSIONS: FloSeal is a safe and effective treatment for controlling blood loss after EES. It may also provide support to the middle meatus as well as improve healing of the operative site compared with the use of traditional nasal packing. However, randomized clinical trials are needed to further evaluate this.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
