Assessment of Clinical and Laboratory Limits between Hashitoxicosis and Graves’ Disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Determine the clinical and laboratory features of Hashitoxicosis (Htx) and set standards that will help perform a differential diagnosis with Graves’Disease (GD). SUBJECTS & METHODS: we evaluated 45 patients with Htx (Hashi-group) diagnosed between January/1995 and July/2019 with autoimmune hyperthyroidism and cytology compatible with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT). The control group consisted of 51 patients with GD (Graves-group). RESULTS: clinical hyperthyroidism, free T4 (FT4), thyroid volume and need for antithyroid drugs were higher in the Graves-Group. Values of anti-thyroid antibodies and TSH were higher in the Hashi-Group. The definitive diagnostic criterion was cytology. Regarding the clinical course, 95% of the Hashi-Group had hyperthyroidism of short duration, while 84.3% of Graves-Group required radioactive iodine (RAI). CONCLUSION: hyperthyroidism due to HT was milder than that associated with GD. In most citology was able to distinguish HT from GD and predict spontaneous resolution preventing unnecessary RAI.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
