Magnets Playing Hide and Seek: A Case Report of Hidden Magnets in a Child
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the now widespread use of small magnets in household items and toys, ingestion of these items has become a serious health hazard which carries the possibility of complications such as gastrointestinal (GI) tract perforation, hemorrhage, necrosis and death. While endoscopic retrieval of these objects has long been in practice, the possibility of the magnets attaching to the scope without practitioner's knowledge has not received sufficient attention in literature. Here we report a case of a 5-year-old female who was admitted for endoscopic retrieval of two small magnet ball bearings that she had swallowed shortly before admission. The search for the foreign objects was made difficult by ingested food obstructing the view. Fluoroscopy was also unremarkable. The procedure was ultimately deemed unsuccessful and terminated after 56 min. Both ball bearings were found attached to the scope upon inspection of the scope post procedure. Attachment of magnets to the scope should be a consideration during endoscopic removal, especially in cases of poor visibility. This can potentially help reduce unnecessary prolongation of procedures and therefore, complications including postoperative anesthesia symptoms, perforation, etc. Int J Clin Pediatr. 2024;13(1):34-37 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/ijcp532

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
