Abstract
AIM: Pulsed Doppler ultrasound is a standard noninvasive investigation to measure the velocity and pulsatility of blood flow within the major intracranial and organ-supplying arteries in critical care patients. The normal arterial flow pattern in organ-supplying vessels is characterised by a systolic-diastolic forward flow which is caused by the aortic "Windkessel" function and the low peripheral resistance of the parenchymatous organs. A variety of well known pathological conditions may cause a change of the vascular characteristics within the perfused organs which are diagnosed by the typical changes of the flow pattern in the supplying arteries. In the cardiac diastole, however, there is always a slow decrease of the flow velocity which is terminated by the onset of the following systole. METHOD AND RESULTS: We report on 11 patients investigated by Doppler ultrasound during their stay in our intensive care unit. All these patients presented a markedly different flow pattern measured in their intra- and/or extracerebral vessels. This very distinctive flow pattern is characterised by a diastolic ascent of the arterial flow velocity and is caused by an excessively increased venous pressure within the draining veins of the affected organs. All patients died due to (multiple) organ failure. CONCLUSION: It is of major importance to be aware of the rare but very characteristic flow pattern described here because of the poor prognosis associated with it.

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
