Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ascites in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) poses a challenging management scenario for nephrologists. We present two patients with ascites refractory to treatment with standard outpatient hemodialysis which resolved upon the initiation of nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHD). NHD is a form of intensive renal replacement therapy whereby patients receive up to 8 hours of continuous hemodialysis and ultrafiltration, five to seven times per week. In both cases, the ascites resolved within weeks of changing hemodialysis modalities. NHD allowed a significant reduction in ultrafiltration rates, which likely underlies the procedural tolerability and contributed to the successful outcomes. This option could be considered in the management of the patient with ESRD and refractory ascites.

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.
