Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Mumps virus is a moderately to highly contagiousenveloped RNA virus belonging to the family Paramyx-oviridae.1 Mumps is spread through respiratory droplets and contact with contaminated fomites.1 Clinical disease manifests as acute, painful parotitis in approximately two thirds of infected individuals. Complications of mumps infection most commonly include meningitis, encephalitis and orchitis. Rare but significant sequelae include deafness or hearing loss, sterility and death.1 The incubation period for mumps is 12 to 25 days, and cases are con-sidered contagious from 1 to 2 days before parotitis onset until 4 to 5 days after.2-5 The annual incidence of mumps in Canadians has declined sub-stantially since the introduction of mumps-containing vaccine.6 Despite the success of vaccination in preventing mumps, outbreaks continue to occur.6-9 Transmission of mumps may be facilitated by environments in which there is crowding (e.g., universities).1,7,10 Indeed, groups identified as at high risk for mumps infection by the Canadian National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) include students at educational institutions and military personnel.6 While not specifically mentioned, prisoners may rep-resent another population vulnerable to mumps due to crowding and close living conditions. The management of mumps in a cor-rectional setting has not been well documented in the medical lit-erature. This report describes the management of a mumps outbreak in a medium-security correctional centre in Manitoba, Canada from January to March, 2009.

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.
