Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious illness that affects the endocardial surfaces of heart valves, the mural endocardium, and septal defects. It can cause severe complications, such as abscesses, aneurysms, heart failure, renal failure, and sepsis. Right-sided endocarditis is more prevalent in persons who inject drugs, accounting for 10% of all instances of IE. Streptococcus gordonii is a gram-positive bacterium that colonizes the oral mucosa, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. It is an opportunistic pathogen and a rare cause of IE. We describe a case of S. gordonii IE in a 47-year-old man who injected drugs and had a history of prior tricuspid valve IE treated with tricuspid valve replacement and mitral annuloplasty.

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.
