Mechanical properties of the passive pharynx in Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs. I. Statics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The static mechanical properties of the passive pharynx were investigated in Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs by using an isolated upper airway preparation. During general anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade, cross-sectional area (A) of the pharynx was measured while airway pressure (Paw) was held at various pressures in the absence of airflow. The static A-Paw relationship was measured during application of 0, 1, and 2 cm of caudal tracheal displacement. Relative to humans, closing pressures (Pclose) of the pig pharynx were very low (-15 to -35 cmH(2)O). Tracheal displacement significantly decreased compliance of the hypopharynx (from 0.074 +/- 0.02 cm(2)/cmH(2)O with no displacement to 0.052 +/- 0.01 cm(2)/cmH(2)O with 2 cm of displacement) and decreased Pclose of the oropharynx (from -18.2 +/- 9.9 cmH(2)O to -24.1 +/- 10.5 and -28.7 +/- 12.3 cmH(2)O with 1 and 2 cm of displacement, respectively). Tracheal displacement did not affect A of the pharyngeal segments. In conclusion, tracheal displacement decreased collapsibility of the passive pharynx. The pharynx of the pot-bellied pig is structurally more resistant to collapse than the human pharynx.

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.
