Intestinal Obstruction
Open accessAbstract
During the past two or three years or longer, the cause of death following intestinal obstruction has been the subject of active investigation in a way that bears witness to the excellent spirit in which medical research is at present being pursued in the United States. The fatal outcome of interference with the normal passage of intestinal contents is usually too rapid to be attributable to starvation. Various theories, proposed to account for the characteristic symptoms, have been championed by different workers with the result that the interchange of criticism and the analysis of the results already achieved have become a stimulus to new experimentation. Thus the work of Draper, Murphy, Hartwell, Whipple and their collaborators — to single out a few names — has already greatly increased our knowledge of the problems of intestinal obstruction and brought them much nearer to solution than they were prior to the activity

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.
