Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

QUESTION: A 2-year-old child was recently brought into my office for repeated episodes of neck stiffening and shivering movements of the shoulders and arms. The episodes last 4 to 5 seconds and occur more than 10 times per day, with no apparent pattern except increased frequency at mealtime. Although there has never been loss of consciousness, the parent was worried that these were seizures. The child was diagnosed by a neurologist as having shuddering attacks. Should I start antiepileptic medications for this child? ANSWER: Shuddering attacks are involuntary movements of the head and upper extremities that occur during normal activities and do not impair consciousness. Normal neurologic examination findings and normal electroencephalogram tracing will confirm that this child has shuddering attacks, a benign phenomenon that requires no further investigation or medical therapy. The condition is of unknown cause but is distinct from epilepsy and neither warrants nor responds to antiepileptic medications. Parents can be reassured that attacks will decrease in frequency and will spontaneously remit with age.

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.
