Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Eosinophilic Fasciitis is a rare rheumatologic disease usually characterized by erythema and limbs’ pain, cutaneous induration and peripheral eosinophilia. However, it is important to consider Eosinophilic Fasciitis in differential diagnosis of others scleroderma-like syndromes. The authors present a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented to our hospital with a four months evolution of limb and trunk diffuse symmetrical cutaneous induration, thickening of the skin without joint involvement and no history of Raynaud's phenomenon. On physical examination, she had a grade 3 skin thickening in the involved segments. Laboratory studies revealed no peripheral eosinophilia. The biopsy showed fibrotic involvement of muscle and fascia, with a few inflammatory infiltrations of lymphocytes. She started prednisolone 1 mg/kg/day, with partial regression of cutaneous injuries. As Eosinophilic Fasciitis is so rare, its recognition can be difficult, especially when the patient is observed at a late stage where the peripheral eosinophilia and inflammatory infiltration in the histology are usually no longer present. A clinical history and a detailed physical examination, especially with the presence of orange peel skin, are the fundamental clues for the diagnosis.

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.
