Diagnosis and management of internal carotid artery diseases in Japan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent changes in lifestyle have caused an increase in extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) lesions in Japan. The prevalence of severe ICA atherosclerosis with>50% stenosis in the Suita City was 4.4% (7.9% in men and 1.3% in women), being almost equal to that reported in developed western countries. Several clini-cal studies also indicated that atherothrombotic brain infarction particularly due to extracranial ICA lesions has rapidly been increasing in frequency in Japan. The ICA lesions have strong relationships to cardiovascu-lar risk factors and coronary heart diseases.Carotid ultrasonography is a rapid, noninvasive and accurate way to examine ICA lesions. Diffusion MRI studies will provide new knowledge how ICA lesions produce infarcts particularly in borderzone areas.The efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the management of severe ICA stenosis was established in US, Canada, and Europe, but not in Japan. Carotid artery stenting remains a matter of investigations. Clini-cal evidence on the effectiveness and limitations of such surgical interventions and medicla management with antithrombotic agents and HMG-CoA blockers should be collected for Japanese patients with ICA lesions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
