Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Zinc deficiency can be inherited, such as in the case of acrodermatitis enteropathica or acquired. In both cases, patients will present typical acral and periorificial skin lesions, and seldom, diarrhea as well as secondary alopecia. In this report, we provide a case of transient neonatal zinc deficiency in a 3-month-old breastfed girl who presented with classical skin lesions of zinc deficiency. The diagnosis was determined following the results of blood tests, which indicated a combination of low plasma phosphatase alkaline and zinc levels. To support the diagnosis, genetic testing was performed on the mother to detect a mutation in the SLC30A2 gene. However, the results were inconclusive as a variant of unknown significance was found. After starting zinc supplementation, the skin lesions completely resolved a few weeks later without any recurrence.

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.
