Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ovulatory disorders (such as polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS]) are commonly treated with clomiphene citrate (CC), with rates of ovulation ranging between 50 and 90%. However, even though the majority of pregnancies occur within the first three cycles of treatment [1], the overall pregnancy rates are disappointingly low, ranging from 20–40% [2–4], and the likelihood of miscarriage is relatively high [5]. This discrepancy between high rates of ovulation and low rates of pregnancy is believed to be a consequence of the antiestrogenic effect of CC on peripheral targets, such as the endometrium (affecting its thickness and maturation) and the endocervix (affecting the production and quality of cervical mucus). The problem is compounded by the long half-life of CC and the persistence of an isomer, zuclomiphene, both of which lead to an accumulating antiestrogenic effect with consecutive cycles of treatment [6]. In addition, due to the prolonged occupation of estrogen receptors by CC in the hypothalamus, the circulating amount of estrogen may rise to high levels from ongoing stimulation of the follicles by endogenous follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) production. Such supraphysiological levels of estrogen may be deleterious to the developing oocyte, sperm and embryo [7]. Consequently, better methods for inducing ovulation are desirable. Studies in animals suggest that aromatase, an enzyme necessary to convert androgens to estrogen, could be a potential target for the inhibition of estrogen production. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) increased gonadotropin levels and ovarian weight in female rats [8], and have been found to produce multiple ovarian follicles in female primates [9]. The new generation of AIs (anastrozole, letrozole and vorozole) have more specific action, fewer side effects and lower

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.
