Abstract
Although the use of supplemental oxygen to resuscitate asphyxiated neonates remains controversial, the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation (room air versus pure oxygen) on the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis are unknown. We aimed to evaluate the effect of hypoxia and reoxygenation with either 21% or 100% oxygen on plasma cortisol before and after an adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) challenge in newborn piglets. Thirty-five piglets (aged 1-3 days, weighing 1.5-2.4 kg) were instrumented to measure heart rate, MAP, and cardiac output. After 2 h of normocapnic hypoxia (PaO2, 20-30 mmHg; pH, <6.95), piglets were resuscitated with 21% or 100% oxygen for 1 h and then 21% oxygen for 3 h. Sham-operated piglets had no hypoxia-reoxygenation (H-R). Serial plasma cortisol levels were determined after a blinded randomized administration of ACTH (4 microg/kg, i.v.) or saline at 2 h reoxygenation. The expression of steroidogenic factor 1 in the adrenals was studied. Cardiac output decreased with hypoxia and recovered with resuscitation. Piglets developed hypotension similarly in 21% and 100% H-R groups during reoxygenation (versus sham-operated group, P < 0.05). Both H-R groups had increased plasma cortisol levels (versus sham-operated group, P < 0.05) at 2 h of reoxygenation after hypoxia, with a further increase in levels in 21% H-R piglets at 4 h reoxygenation (versus 100% H-R piglets, P < 0.05). The response to ACTH was delayed in H-R groups, with the maximum increase at 120 min post-ACTH administration (versus 30-60 min post-ACTH for sham-operated piglets). Plasma cortisol levels increased significantly post-ACTH administration in 21% H-R and sham-operated piglets (115% +/-50% and 126% +/- 25% at 120 min, respectively, P < 0.05 vs. pre-ACTH baselines) but not in 100% H-R piglets (51% +/-14%), which had a lower expression of steroidogenic factor 1 than the other groups. Although the clinical significance of high cortisol levels and cortisol response to ACTH in H-R newborn piglets is uncertain, a preserved cortisol response may support using room air in neonatal resuscitation.

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
