Abstract
Increased uterine contractility at term and preterm results from activation and then stimulation of the myometrium. Activation can be provoked by mechanical stretch of the uterus and by an endocrine pathway resulting from increased activity of the fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Cortisol, derived from the fetal adrenal in cases of intrauterine compromise or from the maternal adrenal in response to stress, or generated locally from cortisone in choriodecidual trophoblasts, provides a crucial link to uterine stimulation. Cortisol contributes to the increased production of prostaglandins (PGs) by fetal membranes and the decidua through the upregulation of PG synthase and the downregulation of PG dehydrogenase enzymes. Cortisol also stimulates placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) output, although CRH may both relax and stimulate uterine activity depending on the distribution and affinity of its receptor subtypes. Other agents such as cytokines may intercede in this sequence to stimulate PGs and/or CRH, giving rise to a cascade phenomenon that results in preterm birth.

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.
