Length-dependent changes of lower limb muscle morphology in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy assessed with magnetic resonance imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess muscle quantity of the thigh and leg in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) compared to age and sex matched controls in exploring length-dependent changes of innervated muscles. In five people with CIDP and seven controls, magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess muscle morphology of the four parts of the quadriceps and medial hamstring muscles. Findings were compared to the triceps surae from a subset of participants. The CIDP group had less contractile tissue in the quadriceps (11.5%, P<0.05), hamstrings (15.6%, P<0.05) and triceps surae (35.9%, P<0.05) compared to controls. Additionally, CIDP had less contractile tissue (18.7%) in the triceps surae compared to the hamstrings (P<0.05). Muscle quantity in the quadriceps and hamstrings in CIDP was less than controls, but differences were greater for the distal triceps surae. These findings support a length-dependent affect of CIDP on limb musculature composition.

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.
