Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background: The activities regarding work, sports, and hobbies of a menopausal woman predominantly belong to the Yang principle. Hormones and their changes belong to the Yin (Xue) principle. The balance of Yin/Yang principles needs to be restored with acupuncture treatment and adjustment of lifestyle to control hot flashes. Objective: To report the possible effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of hot flashes. Design, Setting, and Patients: Two patients were treated with acupuncture for hot flashes in a private clinic setting. Intervention: Patients were treated for both their presenting complaints and hot flashes with acupuncture. Main Outcome Measure: Hot flash intensity was quantitatively evaluated. Results: Both patients experienced symptom resolution with acupuncture. Patient 1 experienced a 98% decrease in hot flashes, and patient 2 also had a quick, durable remission. Conclusions: Acupuncture may offer an alternative treatment to control menopausal hot flashes, particularly when hormone therapy is contraindicated or refused.

Not 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.
