Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Infection with the nematode Dioctophyme renale (giant kidney worm) in dogs and other mammals occurs following the ingestion of an aquatic host containing the infective larvae. This parasitic disease has no known effective pharmaceutical treatment. This case report describes a 7‐month‐old, entire, female Husky with a 2‐month history of haematuria and intermittent vomiting. An abdominal ultrasound examination and microscopic finding of eggs of D. renale in urine sediment helped to establish the diagnosis. The affected right kidney and retroperitoneal worms were removed by exploratory celiotomy. The sonographic features of the worms and a comprehensive review of the latest literature, suggesting future research topics on early serological diagnosis, medical treatment options and the most recent nephron‐sparing nephrotomy techniques (via nephroscopy or laparoscopy), are discussed.

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.
