Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Blastomycosis is a fungal infection endemic to parts of North America, often presenting with subtle respiratory symptoms but capable of affecting multiple organ systems. We describe a 41-year-old woman with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who presented with non-specific gastrointestinal complaints and severe nutritional deficiencies. Imaging revealed cavitary lesions in the lungs, and bronchoscopy confirmed Blastomyces sp. infection. She improved with prolonged itraconazole therapy. In patients with severe malnutrition leading to immunosuppression, especially in endemic areas, clinicians should consider blastomycosis in the differential diagnosis when subtle respiratory symptoms are presents to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment.

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.
