Treatment strategies for large impacted upper ureteral stones
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bozkurt et al in which they compared the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and ureteroscopic lithotripsy (UL) to treat large (≥1.5 cm), impacted, upper ureteral stones. 1 An impacted stone was defined as a stone that did not allow any passage on contrast graphies, stayed at the same localization for more than one month, and resulted in dilation in the collecting system.In some publications, an impacted stone is defined as a stone that cannot be bypassed either by a wire or a catheter.2,3 As understood from the definition, impacted stones that do not allow a catheter to pass to the kidneys are frequently encountered.The authors should explain more clearly and carefully whether retrograde catheterization was easily performed in the PCNL group, and if it was not possible, whether additional instrumentation was used and what approach was chosen.The authors deemed the procedure unsuccessful when the stone could not be reached in a single session and when residual stone ≥4 mm was detected at the one-month postoperative visit.The authors give the success rate for 41

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.
