Four Cases of Hodgkin's Disease in Striped Skunks (Mephitis mephitis)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract. Twelve of 152 striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) necropsied at the Ontario Veterinary College between 1970and 1980had neoplasms. Tumors occurred in one of 86 wild skunks, and II of 66 captive skunks. Captive skunks were primarily from one source and were older animals. Tumors in four skunks resembled those found in Hodgkin's disease of man. This diagnosis was based on the presence of Sternberg-Reed cells, the cellular pattern, and the malignant behavior of the neoplasms. In two of these skunks, a second neoplasm also was present. Other tumors diagnosed included pulmonary adenocarcinoma, pulmonary adeno-matosis, undifferentiated adenocarcinoma, renal adenocarcinoma, thyroid adenoma, intersti-tial cell tumor, pheochromocytoma, pinealoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and spindle cell sarcoma. Hodgkin's disease is a malignant condition of man characterized by progressive enlargement of lymph nodes and spleen due to infiltration by a pleomorphic population of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and bizarre giant cells, with eventual wide-spread metastases [I2]. The disease first was described in 1832 by Thomas Hodgkin [II]. Since that time there has been considerable debate whether the basic nature of

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
