GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION IN RETROPHARYNGEAL LYMPH NODES OF WILD CERVIDS IN SASKATCHEWAN
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A portion of retropharyngeal lymph nodes from 6,824 wild cervids, comprising 1,458 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), 5,345 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), 11 unidentified deer (Odocoileus spp.), and 10 elk (Cervus elaphus), were examined histologically for evidence of inflammation. Focal granulomatous lymphadenitis was detected in 0.3% of white-tailed deer, 1.3% of mule deer, and in one of 10 elk. Material consistent with Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon was present in 70 (93%) of 75 cases of lymphadenitis. Replicate sections stained with Gram, acid fast, and methenamine silver stains were examined for organisms. Organisms morphologically consistent with Actinomyces spp. were found in one white-tailed deer; no organisms were detected in any of the other cases of lymphadenitis. Aerobic and anaerobic culture from frozen tissue from the lymph nodes was negative, as was polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Mycobacterium spp. and Mycobacterium bovis. The method of sampling likely underestimated the prevalence of lymphadenitis.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
