Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ingestion of tellurium (Te), a toxic element, produces paralysis of the hind limbs in weanling rats that is due to temporary, segmental demyelination of the sciatic nerves bilaterally. Weanling rats were fed a 1.1% elemental Te diet and sacrificed at various time points for histological and magnetic resonance (MR) analysis of the sciatic nerves. No controls exhibited impairments of the hind limbs, whereas Te-treated animals became progressively impaired with increased Te exposure. Toluidine blue-stained nerve sections of Te-treated animals showed widened endoneurial spaces, disrupted myelin sheaths, swollen Schwann cells, and a few instances of axonal degeneration. Te decreased healthy myelin by 68% and increased percent extracellular matrix by 45% on day 7. MR experiments showed a decrease in the area of the short T2 component, an increase in average T1, and an increase in the position of the intermediate T2 component in Te-treated nerves. The correlation coefficient for healthy myelin and average T1 was 0.88 and that for healthy myelin and the area underneath the short T2 component was 0.77. The area of the short T2 component has been postulated as the best measure of the process of demyelination.

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.
