A Perplexing Case of the Adrenal Insufficiency
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report an unusual clinical presentation of adrenal insufficiency. A 54-year-old post-menopausal woman with well-controlled hypertension presented with 1 month of progressive anorexia and intermittent low-grade fever. She underwent extensive initial investigations that included computed tomography (CT) of the head, chest, and abdomen; gastroscopy; infectious and autoimmune workups; all of which were unrevealing. The head CT did not demonstrate any hyperintense or space-occupying lesion. When she represented to hospital, we noticed an empty sella on the initial CT. This prompted a magnetic resonance imaging study that revealed pituitary apoplexy, leading to eventual diagnosis of secondary adrenal insufficiency (morning cortisol 81 nmol/L and ACTH 1 pmol/L). Her symptoms resolved within 24 hours of glucocorticoid replacement. Diagnosis was elusive due to patient’s atypical presentation – she did not have visual symptoms or cranial nerve deficits to suggest pituitary apoplexy, and also did not have any objective findings such as hypotension or electrolyte abnormalities to suggest adrenal insufficiency.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
