Effects of Hypoxia on the Circadian Patterns in Men
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that acute hypoxia may alter the circadian pattern of body temperature in adult humans. Six healthy subjects were studied in normoxia, hypoxia (approximately 13% inspired O(2)), and again normoxia, each session lasting >24 h and spaced a few days apart, with a constant routine protocol of sustained wakefulness and minimal activity. Some parameters (e.g., tympanic and abdominal temperatures, heart rate) were recorded continuously; others (e.g., oxygen consumption and pulmonary ventilation) were monitored for approximately 10 min every 2 h. The amplitudes of the circadian oscillation of tympanic, abdominal, and calf skin temperatures were reduced in hypoxia, averaging, respectively, 61%, 80% and 50% of the normoxic amplitude. Oxygen consumption and pulmonary ventilation, which presented a circadian pattern in normoxia, had no longer significant oscillations during hypoxia, whereas the opposite was the case for heart rate and diastolic pressure. Therefore, acute hypoxia can disturb the normal circadian patterns and, specifically, depress those of body temperature. These effects, qualitatively similar to those observed in chronically hypoxic animals and humans, could contribute to sleep disturbances at high altitude.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
