Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Entamoeba histolytica is an intestinal protozoan parasite transmitted through the faecal–oral route. Up to 90% of E. histolytica infections are asymptomatic or associated with mild symptoms. Most cases in Canada are from residents of or travellers from areas of high endemicity, although autochthonous cases have been reported among men who have sex with men (MSM) and Canadian Indigenous populations. We present an uncommon case of amoebic liver abscess with diaphragmatic perforation and intrapulmonary extension mimicking active pulmonary tuberculosis. Amoebic liver abscesses are infrequently seen outside of endemic areas, rarely extend outside the liver, and should be suspected in cases of unexplained fever even in the absence of signs, symptoms, or basic blood tests suggestive of liver pathology.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
