Myelin water fraction decrease in mild traumatic brain injury
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The increased incidence of reported traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its potentially serious long-term consequences have enormous clinical and societal impacts. The diffuse and continually evolving secondary changes after TBI make it challenging to evaluate the changes in brain-behaviour relationships. In this study we used myelin water imaging to evaluate changes in myelin water fraction (MWF) in individuals with chronic brain injury and evaluated their cognitive status using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery. Twenty-two adults with mild or severe brain injury and twelve age, gender and education matched healthy controls took part in this study. We found a significant decrease in global white matter MWF in individuals with mild TBI compared to the healthy controls. Significantly lower MWF was evident in most white matter ROIs examined including the corpus callosum (separated into genu, body and splenium), minor forceps, right anterior thalamic radiation, left inferior longitudinal fasciculus; and right and left superior longitudinal fasciculus and corticospinal tract. No significant correlations were found between MWF in mild TBI and the cognitive measures. These results show for the first time the loss of myelin in chronic mild TBI.

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.
