Abstract
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global health problem with more than 80% of those infected developing chronic hepatitis C (CHC) that tends to advance to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is estimated that up to three-quarters of HCV-infected individuals are neither diagnosed nor aware that they are infected, and symptomatic liver damage may not appear for years or decades in many patients following virus exposure. The pathogenic and epidemiological significance of HCV could be further magnified by the existence of occult HCV infection (OCI), evidenced by small quantities of HCV RNA in plasma (usually below 100 virus genome copies/ml), liver and/or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), continuing in the context of essentially normal liver function tests after self-limited or therapeutically induced resolution of hepatitis C and OCI in which carriage of HCV RNA traces coincide with moderately elevated liver enzymes of unclear aetiology.1 Although HCV is conventionally known to target hepatocytes, a large and increasing body of experimental and clinical data provides cumulative, hence not yet commonly acknowledged evidence that HCV also propagates at extrahepatic locations, particularly in cells of the immune system.2 3 HCV is a positive single-stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family that demonstrates remarkable genetic variability and typically exists in an infected host as a heterologous population of closely related quasispecies resulting from virus rapid replication driven by …

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.
