Abstract
Purpose: To review historical and recent Canadian contributions to gastrointestinal research. Methods: Investigate history and archives on research in gastroenterology by Canadians. Results: For modern contributions the poster provides the names of awardees of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology (CAG) and the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver (CASL). These include the “Research Excellence Lecturers,”“Young Investigator Lecturers,”“Visiting Research Professors,”“Ivan T. Beck Lecturers,” and “Education Excellence Lecturers” for the CAG, and the “Gold Medallist Lecturers” and the “Andrew Sass-Kortsak Lecturers” for CASL. Historical sections depict with pictures and text the life and work of past investigators. Beginning with the first Canadian research subject, Alexis St. Martin, a coureur de bois who was treated by Dr William Beumont for a gunshot wound, and as a reult developed a gastric fistula. They established in the mid 19th century that gastric juice is acid and digests food. The poster portrays Dr. Boris Petrovitch Babkin, who is considered the father of the concept of gut-brain interaction. Hans Selye found that stress causes gastric ulcers. Frederick G. Banting and Charles H. Best extracted insulin from dog pancreas. Dr. John C. Brown described Motilin and Gastric Inhibitory Peptide. Jean A. Morisset provided new aspects on pancreatic islet cell function. Charles Phillippe Leblond demonstrated that the crypt cell is the stem cell of the gut. Dr. Leslie S. Valberg worked on iron metabolism and hemochromatosis. Dr. Edwin E. Daniel made contributions to gastrointestinal motility; Dr. Aron M. Rappaport, established the pathologic concept of three zones of the hepatic acinus. Dr. Carl A. Goresky's method provided total hepatic organ approach to cellular mechanism, and Andrew Sass-Kortsak's work provided understanding of the metabolism of copper and the genetic aspects of Wilson's disease. Conclusions: Canadians made major present and historical contributions to the science of digestive organs

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.
