Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Acute right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain is a common presenting complaint in emergency departments among young women. The SHARP Exam is a novel point of care ultrasound (POCUS) protocol designed to aid in the evaluation of undifferentiated, acute, right-sided, lower abdominal pain in women of child-bearing age. The SHARP Exam is both an acronym ([S]ono [H]er [A]bdomen for [R]ight-sided [P]ain) and a diagnostic tool for emergency physicians to focus on specific pathology ([S]ize of ovary, [H]ydronephrosis, [A]ppendicitis, [R]ight upper quadrant free fluid, [P]regnancy). It is an easily reproducible, cost-effective, and non-invasive study that may expedite risk stratification, diagnosis, and treatment of several emergent conditions.

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.
