Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Presentation of upper limb ischemia in patients with long-term crutch use warrants suspicion of proximal aneurysmal degeneration with distal thromboembolization. We present a case of a 63-year-old man with a history of chronic axillary crutch use due to childhood poliomyelitis who presented with acute left-hand ischemia. Computed tomography angiography identified a left brachial artery aneurysm, which was determined to be the etiology of the thromboembolic event. The aneurysm was successfully excluded with an axillary-to-brachial artery bypass using the greater saphenous vein. He recovered well without complications and transitioned to ergonomic gait aids to prevent recurrent aneurysmal degeneration and subsequent embolization.

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.
