Losartan ointment relieves hypertrophic scars and keloid: A pilot study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
receptor is known to play a key role in stimulation of fibrosis. A pilot placebo controlled single blind study was carried out on patients with hypertrophic scars and keloids. A total of 37 adult volunteers were randomly assigned into losartan 5% or placebo treatment groups. The treatment was performed twice a day for three months and a 6-month follow-up. The treatment was evaluated using Vancouver scar scale method. Totally, 30 participants were analyzed (Losartan ointment n = 20; placebo ointment n = 10; seven placebo volunteers left the study because they thought the treatment was not effective for them). In the losartan group, VSS scores dropped significantly (p < 0.01) both in keloid and hypertrophic scar patients. Vascularity and pliability were significantly reduced by losartan treatment (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that losartan potassium ointment (5%) can alleviate the keloid and hypertrophic scar.

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.
