Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fever of unknown origin remains a common challenge in clinical practice.  A systematic approach to working up a patient includes a thorough history and physical exam.  The most likely cause can then be assigned to one of four broad categories: infection, inflammatory, malignancy, and miscellaneous.  These broader classes help guide initial diagnostic tests and avoid unnecessary, more invasive procedures.  Despite a thorough workup, as many as 30% of all FUO cases are never solved.  The current evidence points to a favourable prognosis for these cases and, thus, empiric treatment is generally not recommended.  This review aims to help future physicians understand the broad differential diagnosis of FUO pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, and provides a summary of the current literature and evidence–based recommendations for working up FUO.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
