Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between traumatic cerebral ischemia and intravascular thrombosis, a common finding after traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS: We reviewed samples of the frontal cortex and hippocampus from individuals who had sustained a fatal TBI. Sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin were reviewed and rated for severity of selective neuronal necrosis (SNN). Because intravascular fibrin microthrombi may lyse within a few days of TBI, we restricted our analysis to patients who had died within 48 hours of injury. Medical records in all cases were reviewed to rule out severe or prolonged hypotension or hypoxemia. Eleven patients with severe or global SNN were compared with 11 patients in whom SNN was mild or absent. Slides adjacent to the hematoxylin and eosin sections were stained with an immunofluorescent antibody to antithrombin III and were reviewed for intravascular microthrombosis. The number of microthrombi on each slide was counted by an investigator blinded to the hematoxylin and eosin findings, and density of intravascular microthrombi was calculated. RESULTS: Intravascular microthrombi were noted in every section, excluding control (non-TBI) brain tissue. However, the density of microthrombi varied with the degree of SNN. We found a highly significant difference in the mean density of microthrombi between patients with severe SNN (7.74 +/- 3.7/cm(2)) and those with little or no SNN (2.58 +/- 1.0/cm(2)). Furthermore, a good correlation was noted between the location of intravascular microthrombi and that of SNN. CONCLUSION: These data support a strong link between intravascular microthrombosis and neuronal death after brain trauma in humans and may have important implications for new therapeutic approaches.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
