Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Eosinophilic fasciitis can be a debilitating diagnosis and is often delayed given its similarities to other sclerotic conditions including morphea, such as bound-down indurated skin and inflammation and sclerotic thickening of tissue layers on histopathology. Delaying treatment can lead to joint contracture and residual hardness in skin which has both cosmetic and functional implications. Therefore, finding the definitive diagnosis and differentiating from other sclerotic diseases is important early in the disease course. We present a case of a 77-year-old female with a generalized rash on her back and extremities, and progressive symptoms of pain, joint contractures, and limited movement, which highlights the challenges in diagnosis and management given clinical and histological parallels between eosinophilic fasciitis and morphea.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
