Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A total of four cases with an age range of 4-10 years old of various breeds of two male labradors, one female Golden Retriever, and one male Great Dane presented with a history and clinical signs of thoraco-abdominal disorders such as inappetence coughing, inappetence, respiratory distress, vomission, high temperature, tachycardia, cardiac murmurs, muffled lung sounds and distended abdomen presented to Veterinary hospital, Veterinary College, Hassan. Further, these pets were subjected to Computed Radiographic (CR) and Computed Tomographic (CT) evaluation. These modalities helped to diagnose the thoraco-abdominal disorders, such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), pulmonary oedema and pleural effusion secondary to DCM and associated with gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) in a Grate Dane, soft tissue sarcoma at the axial region of the left forelimb and associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a Labrador, lymphoma (abdominal lymph nodal mass) also associated with ascites and pleural effusion secondary to cardiac insufficiency in a Golden Retriever, nasal adenocarcinoma associated with pulmonary metastasis and GIST in a labrador. However, radiography may be the first choice for diagnosing thoracoabdominal disorders as it is easily accessible and low-cost compared to CT. If the cases have ambiguity in diagnosis, they need to be subjected to CT for confirmative diagnosis. CT was a more useful modality, resulting in a high-detailed anatomical image with excellent soft tissue contrast of the thoraco-abdomen, facilitating the characterisation and localisation of the thoraco-abdominal lesions. The precision offered by both modalities facilitated the planning, surgical and medical management, and established the prognosis.

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.
