Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent vomiting episodes, followed by periods of relief. CVS is hypothesized to be caused by genetic, neuroendocrine and environmental factors and is highly comorbid with psychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety. Diagnosis relies on clinical presentation, Rome IV criteria, and ruling out other conditions. Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medications. CVS can significantly impact patients and the healthcare system. We present a 62-year-old man known to have CVS and persistent depressive disorder that has not responded to antidepressants and psychotherapy. He received a course of bilateral sequential theta-burst stimulation (bsTBS) resulting in significant improvement in depression and anxiety. Following a relapse, he was offered another bsTBS course, with complete remission of depression. He reported spontaneous resolution of his CVS symptoms since the first bsTBS course. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of complete CVS resolution following bsTBS.

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.
