Abstract
Oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices are a non-pharmacologic therapy that can increase mobilization and elimination of airway mucus hypersecretions. In respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and others, mucus clearance can improve pulmonary mechanics and facilitate gas exchange, reduce breathlessness, prevent recurring infection, reduce exacerbations and hospitalization and improve quality of life. Several OPEP devices are available, although only a few have published evidence of efficacy, cost effectiveness and benefit to patients. We review the evidence and provide suggestions on inclusion of some OPEP devices in mucus clearance therapy regimens.

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
