Endogenous Digoxin-Like Substance(s) Associated with Uneventful and High-Risk Pregnancies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We assessed the existence of endogenous digoxin-like substance(s) (EDLS) in mother-neonate pairs using a routine radioimmunoassay for digoxin. None of those studied had been treated with cardiac glycosides during or before pregnancy. In uneventful pregnancies, cord EDLS levels (0.31 +/- 0.02 ng/ml mean +/- SEM) were significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than both antepartum and postpartum maternal levels (0.14 +/- 0.02 and 0.17 +/- 0.02 mg/ml, respectively). This observation was in contrast with findings in high-risk pregnancies. In general, EDLS levels in the high-risk group were significantly higher than in normal pregnancies (cord 0.94 +/- 0.38 ng/ml; antepartum 1.63 +/- 0.54 ng/ml; postpartum 0.89 +/- 0.73 ng/ml). In the high-risk group there was a remarkably wide range of maternal and cord EDLS concentrations. The present studies suggest that following pregnancies of high risk for a variety of reasons, EDLS determination may be commonly high in the perinatal period and may affect the determination of 'true' digoxin. Consequently, digoxin dosing based on monitoring drug concentration may be futile.

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.
