Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Syncope, or fainting, is a heterogeneous condition and hence difficult to diagnose. Treatments for syncope are vast and largely ineffective because individual variability impacts success. Research into the mechanisms and treatment of syncope has focused on adults, despite 15-25% of children experiencing episodes. Thus, we aimed to investigate syncope in children and adolescents and explore a non-pharmacological approach to its treatment. We conducted cardiovascular autonomic function testing (Valsalva manoeuvre, cerebral reactivity to hypo- and hypercapnia, and orthostatic stress testing) to evaluate cardiovascular factors predisposing to syncope in 21 children. We also evaluated the efficacy of graded calf compression stockings for the treatment of syncope in 15 young adults. We found that (1) autonomic function testing in children was appropriate, but current diagnostic criteria may need to be altered for paediatric populations; and (2) the utility of calf compression stockings to improve orthostatic tolerance is dependent on specific anthropometric variables.

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.
