Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In compressive neuropathies, large myelinated nerve fibers are generally thought to be more susceptible. In this study, we investigated small myelinated Aδ and unmyelinated C fiber function in patients with mild, moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome. METHODS: Forty-four healthy controls and 81 carpal tunnel syndrome patients in the mild, moderate, or severe categories were recruited. Small fiber sensation in the affected hand was determined with quantitative sensory testing. RESULTS: Cold detection thresholds in the severe carpal tunnel syndrome group (18.9 ± 6.8°C) were significantly impaired compared with controls (27.2 ± 2.1°C) (P < 0.01). Similarly, warm detection thresholds were also impaired in the severe carpal tunnel syndrome group (41.2 ± 3.5°C) compared with control (37.1 ± 2.1°C) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These results support the growing body of evidence that carpal tunnel syndrome can affect small afferent fibers. Muscle Nerve 56: 814-816, 2017.

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 it
