Abstract
Bladder rupture is an uncommon injury that leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Though occurring mostly due to trauma, this life-threatening pathology may also occur spontaneously or after a procedure such as transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Computed tomography (CT) cystography is the standard imaging modality for diagnosis. However, this test is unlikely to be ordered in a patient with undifferentiated abdominal pain unless there is specific suspicion for this diagnosis. In our emergency department, a 48 year-old male with history of bladder cancer and TURBT two weeks prior to arrival presented with severe abdominal pain and difficulty urinating for 3 days. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) revealed an irregularly shaped bladder, likely site of bladder rupture, and large amount of abdominal free fluid with sediment. These findings prompted an expedited diagnostic CT scan with cystography. Emergent exploratory laparotomy ultimately confirmed a small bladder defect with 2.5 L of urinary ascites. The diagnosis of non-traumatic bladder rupture can be overlooked in patients presenting with a peritonitic abdominen. The typically ordered test for such patients is standard CT, which carries a high false-negative rate for bladder rupture. This case highlights the utility of POCUS in facilitating a rapid diagnosis.

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 it
