Impact of long-term storage on mid-infrared spectral patterns of serum and synovial fluid samples of dogs with osteoarthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<title>Abstract</title> The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of short versus long-term storage on mid-infrared (MIR) spectral patterns of serum and synovial fluid (SF) of dogs with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and controls. Serum (52 OA and 49 control) and SF (51 OA and 51 control) samples from dogs that had been in short-term (<3 years) frozen state (-80°C) had their MIR spectra obtained. The remaining aliquots were maintained in long-term (>5 years) frozen state before having MIR spectra acquired under the same testing conditions. Spectra from the two time points were significantly different (<italic>P</italic><0.0001), however, sample aging accounted for only 1.61% and 2.98% of serum and SF profiles’ variability, respectively. Predictive models for discriminating serum of OA from controls for short-term storage showed 87.3±3.7% sensitivity, 88.9±2.4% specificity and 88.1±2.3% accuracy, while, for long-term storage, values of the same figures of merit were 92.5±2.6%, 97.1±1.7% and 94.8±1.4%, respectively. Predictive models based on short-term stored SF spectra had 97.3±1.6% sensitivity, 89.4±2.6% specificity and 93.4±1.6% accuracy, while the values for long-term storage 95.7±2.1%, 95.7±0.8% and 95.8±1.1%, respectively. Long-term storage of serum and does not significantly alter the performance of predictive algorithms for discriminating OA samples from controls.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
