The Dilemma of Hemispherectomy for Rasmussen's Encephalitis in a Neurologically Intact Child
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare drug-resistant focal epilepsy characterized by progressive hemiparesis, hemianopia, and cognitive decline. Hemispherectomy is currently the only known treatment that can be curative, though expected to cause postoperative motor and visual deficits in children and adolescents. To date, medical treatment with antiseizure medications and immunosuppressive agents can only offer partial, delayed, or temporary alleviation of symptoms. Hence, patients and families are often faced with the difficult decision to consider the possibility of seizure freedom at the cost of incurring permanent deficits. Here, we discussed the unique ethical issues when faced with a cure that can cause harm, and also discussed a shared decision-making approach guided by informed consent, principles of autonomy, and patient-centered values.

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.
