Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Increased plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis present in over 90% of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We hypothesized that 12 mg/kg intravenous mesna administered predialysis would cause a significant decrease in plasma tHcy compared to placebo. METHODS: Patients with ESRD were recruited for 1- and 4-week placebo-controlled, cross-over studies. Intravenous 12 mg/kg mesna or placebo was administered 3 times weekly predialysis. RESULTS: One week of 12 mg/kg intravenous mesna significantly decreased predialysis plasma tHcy by 12.8 +/- 7.8% (placebo 23.4 +/- 8.0 micromol/l vs. mesna 20.5 +/- 7.6 micromol/l, p = 0.0044). Four weeks of treatment yielded no significant decline in predialysis plasma tHcy (placebo 18.3 +/- 8.5 micromol/l vs. mesna 18.7 +/- 6.3 micromol/l, p = 0.41). CONCLUSIONS: Although 12 mg/kg mesna significantly enhances tHcy excretion, prolonged treatment causes no change in plasma tHcy.

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.
