Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Adhesive intestinal obstruction (AIO) is a common complication following abdominal or pelvic surgery. However, surgical adhesiolysis to treat AIO is associated with a high rate of recurrence, and thus the clinical management of AIO is challenging. Here we describe the successful treatment of a woman with AIO using acupuncture. A 49-year-old housewife arrived at our clinic in January 2006 complaining of nausea, vomiting, cramping abdominal pain and obstipation. Initial examination showed a distended abdomen that was tender and tympanic on percussion. Hyperactive and high-pitched bowel sounds were audible on auscultation. A midline laparotomy scar and gridiron scar were present on her abdomen (figure 1). Figure 1 Midline laparotomy scar and gridiron scar on the patient's abdomen. The patient had undergone an open appendicectomy for acute appendicitis in 1995 and had experienced intermittent diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation after the operation, requiring several attendances at the emergency department. In March 1999 she was readmitted to the hospital to undergo surgical adhesiolysis after an episode of AIO. Between March 2003 and September 2004, she experienced five …

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.
