Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: A spinal cord contusion injury is among the most clinically relevant models for studying pathophysiology and for developing potential therapeutic interventions for spinal cord injuries (SCI). METHODS: In this study, we implemented an intra-operative ultrasound (IOU) approach to precisely locate and examine the lesion site at 5 and 10 min post-injury after a cervical hemi-contusion injury in a non-human primate (NHP) model. We assessed acute lesion progression from 5 to 10 min and then compared that to the lesion extent as measured by MRI 3 weeks later. RESULTS: ) from 5 to 10 min and a further 26% increase in the mediolateral lesion extent when comparing 5 and 10 min to 3 weeks post-injury. CONCLUSIONS: By enabling high-resolution ultrasound visualization of the hemicontusion lesion in vivo, this approach can provide critical insights into the early progression of SCI. It can help with further refining this preclinical SCI model and provide significant predictive value for the animals' recovery post-injury.

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.
