Does vagus nerve contribute to the development of steatohepatitis and obesity in phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase deficient mice?
Capsaicin-induced disruption of hepatic afferent vagus nerve significantly increases the development of steatohepatitis in Pemt(-/-) mice.
Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), a liver enriched enzyme, is responsible for approximately one third of hepatic phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. When fed a high-fat diet (HFD), Pemt(-/-) mice are protected from HF-induced obesity; however, they develop steatohepatitis. The vagus nerve relays signal...

Are outcomes of abdominal wall reconstruction with acellular dermal matrix affected by wound contamination?
Abdominal wall reconstructions using ADM are more susceptible to surgical site infections (SSI) as the degree of wound contamination increases, unlike reconstructions with synthetic mesh.
The optimal type of mesh for complex abdominal wall reconstruction has not been elucidated. We hypothesized that AWRs using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) experience low rates of surgical site occurrence (SSO) and surgical site infection, despite increasing degrees of wound contamination.

Does global transcriptional analysis suggest Lasiodiplodia theobromae pathogenicity factors involved in modulation of grapevine defensive response?
Global transcriptional analysis of Lasiodiplodia theobromae indicates that the fungus modulates grapevine defensive responses primarily through the production of extracellular proteases rather than phenylpropanoid precursors or salicylic acid degradation.
Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a fungus of the Botryosphaeriaceae that causes grapevine vascular disease, especially in regions with hot climates. Fungi in this group often remain latent within their host and become virulent under abiotic stress. Transcriptional regulation analysis of L. theobromae exposed to heat stress ...

Does environment shape the fecal microbiome of invasive carp species?
The fecal microbiome of invasive carp species is significantly influenced by genetic factors rather than environmental ones. Genetic variation within carp populations plays a critical role in shaping the microbial communities found in their feces. A study by Green and Taylor (2019) demonstrated that genetically distinc...
Although the common, silver, and bighead carps are native and sparsely distributed in Eurasia, these fish have become abundant and invasive in North America. An understanding of the biology of these species may provide insights into sustainable control methods. The animal-associated microbiome plays an important role i...

Does the Decline of Amylase Level of Pancreatic Juice After Pancreaticoduodenectomy predict Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula?
The increase in pancreatic amylase level of pancreatic juice can predict POPF after PD.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a life-threatening complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of pancreatic amylase level of pancreatic juice for PF after PD. The subjects were 46 patients who underwent PD between January 2012 and August 2015 at Ji...

Is pretreatment quality-of-life score a better discriminator of oesophageal cancer survival than performance status?
Performance status, particularly ECOG, remains the most reliable predictor of survival in patients with Stage II-III oesophageal cancer.
Performance status [Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)] is a physician-assigned score indicating a patient's fitness for treatment. Functional assessment of cancer therapy-esophagus (FACT-E) is a patient-reported, health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) instrument containing an oesophageal cancer subscale (ECS). ...

Does algorithmic Approach With Clinical Pathology Consultation improve Access to Specialty Care for Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus?
The implementation of an algorithmic approach with clinical pathology consultation significantly reduced the average wait time for SLE consultations to three months.
Harris Health System (HHS) is a safety net system providing health care to the underserved of Harris County, Texas. There was a 6-month waiting period for a rheumatologist consult for patients with suspected systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The objective of the intervention was to improve access to specialty care. ...

Does use of Estrogen-Containing Contraception be Associated With Increased Concentrations of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D?
Use of estrogen-containing contraception is associated with a significant decrease in 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentrations due to increased metabolic clearance of vitamin D.
Small studies suggest exogenous estrogen may improve vitamin D status, but the etiology is unclear because women who use hormones may make lifestyle choices that differentially affect vitamin D status. Our objective was to investigate the association between use of hormonal contraception and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(O...

Does blood transfusion in preterm infants improve intestinal tissue oxygenation without alteration in blood flow?
Blood transfusion significantly improves intestinal tissue oxygenation by enhancing systemic oxygen delivery, as evidenced by a 2019 study published in the Journal of Neonatal Medicine. The study found that blood transfusion led to a marked increase in splanchnic tissue oxygenation without affecting blood flow velocity...
The objective of the study was to investigate the splanchnic blood flow velocity and oximetry response to blood transfusion in preterm infants according to postnatal age. Preterm infants receiving blood transfusion were recruited to three groups: 1-7 (group 1; n = 20), 8-28 (group 2; n = 21) and ≥29 days of life (grou...

Medical hallucination detection (unfiltered)

A dataset for training a small model to detect hallucinations in medical answers and explain why, by checking each answer against the context it should be grounded in. Each row is a (question, answer, context) triple labelled row_type.

This is the unfiltered union of two sources: 7,464 grounded positives and 10,000 planted-hallucination negatives. It is the raw pool before sampling and judging -- the downstream step samples from here and runs claim-level faithfulness evaluation (DeepEval) to build the filtered training set.

  • not_hallucinated (7,464) -- from MedQuAD. Each answer was authored from its source document; that document is scraped into context, so the answer is grounded by construction. See the MedQuAD-derived build for scraping details.
  • hallucinated (10,000) -- from MedHallu. Each row's answer is the planted Hallucinated Answer over the same Knowledge (joined into context).

Schema

Source-agnostic, so both halves share one schema:

field meaning
question, answer, context the training triple
row_type not_hallucinated / hallucinated
row_id globally unique, {tag}::{source_id}
source_dataset origin, incl. config (e.g. UTAustin-AIHealth/MedHallu/pqa_labeled)
source_id identifier within the origin; trace back for any further metadata

Provenance & the high-quality holdout

source_dataset encodes the exact origin, including the HuggingFace config. The 1,000 MedHallu pqa_labeled rows are built on PubMedQA's expert-annotated split (human-curated questions and knowledge), so they make the cleanest val/test holdout:

labeled = ds.filter(lambda r: r["source_dataset"].endswith("pqa_labeled"))

Note: this refers to the underlying PubMedQA split being expert-annotated, not to the hallucinations being human-verified. MedHallu generates hallucinations by the same automated pipeline (LLM-ensemble filtering + RoBERTa-MNLI entailment + TextGrad) for both pqa_labeled and pqa_artificial.
