The Clinical Usefulness of ACTH and Cortisone
Abstract
Acute Rheumatic Fever Hench et al.9 were the first to demonstrate a dramatic improvement in patients with acute rheumatic fever treated with Cortisone. The dosage employed was 200 mg. daily at first and subsequently 100 mg. daily in 3 adolescent patients. The total period of treatment exceeded twenty-one days in all cases. Marked clinical improvement was observed within forty-eight hours of the initiation of therapy, whereas the sedimentation rate did not attain a normal value for ten to twenty days. These observations were all confirmed with the use of ACTH by Thorn et al.,36 who demonstrated the effectiveness of relatively . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
