Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Gastrointestinal infection with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) has been strongly implicated in the etiology of the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the leading cause of pediatric acute renal failure. The binding of fluorescein-conjugated VT1 overlaid on to frozen human renal sections has been examined. Sections from biopsies of infants aged < 2 years were compared with those from adult autopsies. VT primarily stained distal convoluted tubules, particularly those adjacent to glomeruli, and collecting ducts. VT-binding was detected within the infant glomerulus but not the adult. Binding of the toxin was removed when the section was pretreated with alpha-galactosidase, confirming the receptor-binding specificity for globotriaosyl ceramide (gal alpha 1-4gal beta 1-4 glucosylceramide), the glycolipid receptor for VT. These studies may suggest that differential localization of this glycolipid in the pediatric renal glomerulus is a risk factor for the development of HUS following infection with VTEC.

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.

Not 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.
