Two-, six-, and 12-minute walking tests in respiratory disease.
Open accessAbstract
Over the ensuing seven months she had three more clinical relapses, each accompanied by reappearance in the stools of either the organism or its cytotoxin, or both.Each improvement after vancomycin (eight to 14-day- courses) was accompanied by disappearance of the organism.At one point she was given cholestyramine, but she was unable to tolerate it.Her illness was punctuated by malnutrition and episodes of heart failure.She was given no other antibiotics.After the sixth relapse maintenance treatment with oral vancomycin 125 mg eight-hourly was begun.With this regimen diarrhoea was controlled and stools over the next 10 weeks remained negative for C difficile and its cytotoxin.There was no adverse reaction to vancomycin throughout.

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.
