Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Orbital cellulitis is a serious vision and potentially life-threatening condition. In this case report, we present a 3-year-old boy who was admitted with orbital cellulitis, complicated by an intraconal orbital abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, petrous apicitis, labyrinthitis, and mastoiditis. There was no paranasal sinusitis, which is the most common cause of orbital cellulitis. His condition initially did not improve with intravenous antibiotics, but gradually improved after drainage of the orbital abscess with anticoagulant followed by corticosteroid therapy. We illustrate the importance of having a broad differential in atypical cases of orbital cellulitis, as well as the value of having a multidisciplinary approach to maximize favorable outcomes in these complex cases.

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.
