Abstract
BACKGROUND: Lipodystrophy syndrome is a devastating complication of antiretroviral therapy in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The appearance of the associated facial lipoatrophy can be demoralizing and stigmatizing for the affected individuals to a point at which it may compromise their compliance with antiretroviral medication. OBJECTIVE: We describe the use of hyaluronic acid as an intradermal filler for correction of this disfiguring problem. METHODS: We treated five patients with grade 2 to 3 facial lipoatrophy. Each patient received approximately 5 to 6 cc in total of hyaluronic acid in the malar area via intradermal injection. RESULTS: There were no adverse events. We found that this technique provided a good cosmetic result with high patient satisfaction. At 6-month follow-up, sustained longevity was observed. CONCLUSIONS: We propose the use of hyaluronic acid for HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy as an efficacious and safe, but temporary, option for this problem until a more cost-effective option is available.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
