Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Prostate cancer is a significant public health concern. Worldwide incidence data from 2020 indicates approximately 1.4 million new cases diagnosed annually, and mortality data indicates over 375,000 annual deaths. Trends indicate increasing incidence and mortality. Clearly, improved prostate cancer prevention, early detection and treatment are needed. Better primary prostate cancer prevention is the most crucial. Occult infections have been implicated in many different chronic diseases. Due to this relationship between chronic disease and chronic infection, the authors have been promoting advanced screening for chronic occult infections using DNA amplification/detection methods such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for over 5 years. After conducting over 100 PCR-based infection tests in clinic patients, the authors have observed a very strong correlation between patients with known prostate cancer and the presence of pathogens associated with chronic prostatitis. Published literature confirms that the same relationship has also been noted by others.

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.
