An Occidental Case of Cardiomyopathy and Selenium Deficiency
Abstract
SELENIUM is a trace element that until recently has been considered unimportant in human nutrition, except when ingested in excessive amounts.1 During the past decade, Chinese investigators have shown that selenium deficiency is one of the principal factors responsible for Keshan disease, a "dilated" (congestive) cardiomyopathy that affects persons (mainly children and young women) living in rural areas of a selenium-deficient zone in China.2 3 4 This report describes an Occidental patient in whom selenium deficiency became associated with dilated cardiomyopathy.Case ReportA 43-year-old man had been receiving parenteral alimentation for two years (one liter of FreAmine 11 [an amino acid . . .

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.
