Abstract

ABSTRACT Upon admission to the hospital, a 53‐year‐old black woman showed anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, incontinence and hypochromic anemia with increased storage of iron in the bone marrow. After an unsuccessful trial of pyridoxine, all symptoms and signs improved dramatically following administration of pantothenic acid. (At the time of admission, chest x‐ray findings were such that INH‐streptomycin therapy was started.) She was discharged 6.5 months after entry. For several years thereafter she received no vitamin therapy, and a similar clinical picture again developed. There was a clinical, but probably not a hematologic, response to a multiple‐vitamin preparation containing large amounts of pantothenic acid. At this time and later, the course was complicated by cancer of the cervix, from which the patient died.

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.
