Abstract
AIM: To investigate the impact of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) on apathy and the possible relationship between apathy, depression, and levodopa equivalent dosage (LED) in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 26 patients have been evaluated via the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Beck Depression Inventory (Beck D), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck A), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Parkinson Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) just before and 6 months after DBS. RESULTS: Apathy scores (AES) showed a slight decrease from 54.00 ± 10.30 to 52.69 ± 8.88 without any statistical significance (p=0.502) after DBS therapy. No correlation was detected between the post-treatment changes in apathy and UPDRS scores, Beck D, Beck A. Although the direction of the correlation between changes in AES scores and LED values was negative, the results did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION: STN DBS therapy does not have a negative effect on apathy in PD Patients. Despite the satisfactory motor improvement, conservative dopaminergic dose reduction after surgery seems to be the main point to prevent apathy increase in PD patients after STN DBS.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
