The successful use of mycophenolate mofetil in a patient with active birdshot chorio-retinopathy refractory to azathioprine therapy: case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Report on the effect of oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on the treatment of a patient with active birdshot chorioretinopathy (BC) refractory to azathioprine (AZA) therapy. A sixty-two-year-old female patient with BC developed cystoid macular edema (CME) and severe retinal vasculitis in both eyes. AZA (2 mg/kg/day) was then initially prescribed in order to control the inflammatory process. As AZA failed to control the intraocular inflammation after one year, it was replaced by MMF (2 mg/kg/day), which controlled the inflammatory process and improved the patient's visual acuity. In three years under MMF, no recurrence was observed and her vision remained unchanged. In our patient with active BC refractory to AZA, MMF was effective to decrease the intraocular inflammation, as well as to improve the patient's visual acuity.

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.
