Case 1: The deadly danger of pertussis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A nine-week-old girl presented to the emergency department in the early fall with a one-day history of cough, tachypnea and poor feeding. Her rectal temperature was 37.9°C, pulse was 140 beats/min, respiratory rate was 40 breaths/min and oxygen saturation was 95% in room air. Her chest was clear, there were mild intercostal retractions, and the remainder of her examination was within normal limits. Blood cultures and nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs for pertussis and respiratory viruses were obtained. Her white blood cell count (WBC) was 15.3×109/L (53% polymorphs, 41% lymphocytes). A chest radiograph showed mild hyperinflation and perihilar bronchial thickening. The patient improved with salbutamol inhalations and was sent home on that medication. She returned two days later. Her temperature was 38.3°C, pulse was 180 beats/min, respiratory rate was 58 breaths/min to 76 breaths/min and oxygen saturation was 93% in room air. Chest examination revealed reduced air entry bilaterally with occasional crackles. Her WBC had risen to 22.5×109/L (57% polymorphs, 38% lymphocytes). She was admitted to hospital with the diagnosis of bronchiolitis.

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.
