Pectus Deformities: Is Kirschner Use Sufficient for Sternal Stabilization?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background : The results of correxion surgery of the chest wall deformities are pretty good. The aims of surgery are provide cosmetic improvement and eliminate the negative side-effects of on the cardiopulmonary system. We presented our clinic experince in patients who were operated with pectus deformities. Methods: Between 2003 - 2011, total of 41 patients who underwent modified Rawitch technique with pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum were included in this study. Kirschner wire was used for sternal fixation. Kirshner wire was taken between postoperative 12 - 15 days. Results : No mortality was observed. Recurrence occured in one patient (2.4%). Operative time lasted between 2.2 - 3.2 hours (mean 1.8 hours). Age, ranged between 4 - 26 years, mean age was 14.3 years. Thirteen of patients were pectus carinatum, and 25 of them were pectus excavatum. Three patients had mixed type deformity. There were no major complications. The morbidity rate was 26.8%. Mean hospital stay was 18.3 days (17 - 28 days). Conclusions : Cosmetic and psychological problems in patients with pectus deformities improved with surgical correction. In addition, this operation eliminates the negative effects of cardiopulmonary system. The stabilization of sternum with Kirschner wire is a cheap, effective and uncomplicated. doi:10.4021/jcs46w

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
