Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This 6-month clinical trial tests whether high-selenium lentils, as a whole food solution, can improve the health of arsenic-exposed Bangladeshi villagers. The study entails 400 participants in two treatment groups. All participating households have tubewell water containing ≥100 μg L −1 , but over 50% are > 250 μg L −1 . In this double-blind study, one group is daily consuming high-selenium lentils from the Canadian prairies, the other, low-selenium lentils grown in another ecozone. At the onset, mid-term, and end of the trial, samples (blood, urine, stool, hair) are collected, and health examinations include testing lung inflammation, body weight and blood pressure. The major outcome will be arsenic excretion in urine and feces, and arsenic deposition in hair. Secondary outcomes also include antioxidant status, and blood lipid profile.

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.
