In 1923, Umber (1) was the first to report the rare occurrence of deliberate injection of elemental mercury. In this case, a young woman attempted suicide by self-injecting the substance, which caused diffuse abdominal pain, renal insufficiency, and pulmonary embolization of mercury particles. Since then, there have been approximately 20 sporadic case reports of attempted suicide by parenteral injection of elemental mercury (2). When injected intravenously, mercury usually becomes trapped in the pulmonary capillary bed; however, mercury can pass to the systemic ...References1. Umber F.

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.
