Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We describe a patient with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) with unique features, including concurrent transverse myelitis. A 2-year-old previously healthy girl had clinical findings consistent with AESD, occurring in association with influenza A infection. The posterior brain regions were most severely affected, resulting in cortical blindness. She also developed bilateral limb weakness, and spine MRI revealed transverse myelitis in the cervical region. She was treated acutely with intravenous methylprednisolone. Serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and anti-aquaporin-4 antibodies were negative, as was an anti-extractable nuclear antigen panel. Although her clinical presentation was severe, she improved dramatically over the following months, and 6 months following initial presentation, her parents felt she had returned to baseline. This is the first report of AESD occurring in combination with transverse myelitis. The co-occurrence of the two conditions is unlikely to be coincidental, suggesting that there may be a shared or overlapping immunological pathway involved. The patient's recovery was impressive, which could partially relate to the acute treatment with corticosteroids.

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.

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.
