Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To compare the frequency of urine infection in calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stone formers, we reviewed charts from patients whose last renal stone submitted for analysis was predominantly composed of calcium phosphate in 118 and of calcium oxalate in 223. Positive cultures were commoner, but not significantly, in the phosphate than the oxalate stone formers, both in men (17 vs. 7.6%) and women (22 vs. 15%). Bacteria frequently producing urease were found in only 4% of the phosphate group. Urine leucocytes were slightly more frequent in the oxalate group for men and significantly so for women. The results do not support the concept that calcium phosphate stones are mainly due to infection with urease-producing or other bacteria.

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 distilled prediction

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.
