Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Prilocaine-lidocaine emulsion (EMLA cream) is a topical anaesthetic commonly used prior to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. While undergoing clinical investigation for the suspicion of a metabolic disorder, a series of children underwent skin biopsy with EMLA cream pretreatment. In each case, the pathologist identified ultrastructural features consistent with a lysosomal storage disorder, yet the clinical features were not consistent with the pathological findings. Ultrastructural artefact was suspected, resulting from the use of the EMLA cream. All patients underwent repeat skin biopsy without EMLA cream. Biopsies were reviewed by two pathologists blinded to the previous biopsy findings. Electron microscopy repeated without the use of EMLA cream was normal. It is concluded that the use of EMLA cream causes ultrastructural artefact and should be avoided prior to skin biopsy for electron microscopy.

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.
