Abstract
Blastomycosis is an endemic fungal infection predominantly seen in the south central and mid-western United States and portions of Canada. The disorder is caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, a dimorphic organism usually acquired through inhalation of aerosolized conidia. Most acutely infected patients are asymptomatic or develop a self-limited respiratory illness. Chronic pneumonia is the dominant clinical manifestation of blastomycosis, although extrapulmonary disease is common, usually involving skin and subcutaneous tissue, bones and joints, the prostate gland, and the central nervous system (CNS). Chronic blastomycosis should always be treated with systemic antifungal therapy, and oral itraconazole is the drug of choice for mild to moderate forms of the disease. Severe manifestations, including adult respiratory distress syndrome, CNS involvement, and disease in severely immunocompromised hosts require primary therapy with an amphotericin B formulation. There are no routine measures to prevent blastomycosis, although there is promising experimental data involving the use of a live, attenuated vaccine.
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.

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.
