Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The original groundbreaking research occurred in 1921, when Frederick Banting and Charles Best from Canada successfully isolated insulin from dogs [1].The first insulin therapy was administered to Leonard Thompson in 1922, to treat juvenile diabetes.The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin [2].It is not well known how and who introduced insulin to Korea.In Korea, who was the first physician to prescribe insulin, and who was the first person to receive it?The history of medicine in Korea has been diverse and challenging due to internal and external circumstances, as with modern and contemporary Korean history.We could not find any official record of the first use of insulin or any information about early diabetes patients and the treatments they received.Even from the times earlier than the 1970s, there are no records of imports, exports, licenses, and sales of insulin for domestic use.It is assumed that insulin was introduced to Korea by missionaries at the time of insulin's initial discovery or by a Japanese doctor during the Japanese Colonial period.Herein, we investigated the early history of insulin use in Korea, by looking back at old news articles and by interviewing senior academics and early insulin product importers.

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.
