Respiratory Complications of Rapidly Progressive Neuromuscular Syndromes: Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neuromuscular respiratory failure is a common complication of both the Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Several key pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to the spiral of respiratory insufficiency in these diseases, including inspiratory, expiratory, and bulbar muscle weakness. It is important to identify patients with impending respiratory failure early to avoid emergency intubations. Several clinical features and bedside pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are useful in guiding decisions about intubation. Weaning is initiated when respiratory muscles have recovered sufficiently, and again, PFT criteria are helpful. Intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis are the cornerstones of specific therapy for both illnesses when complicated by respiratory failure. Mortality and morbidity are dramatically increased by respiratory failure and are mainly due to associated medical complications. Optimal outcomes depend on avoidance of these and prompt implementation of immunomodulatory therapy.

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.
