Abstract
Rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA), a biomarker of sleep bruxism (SB), has been associated with mild hypoxia and/or big breaths in some adults with non-sleep-disordered breathing. The purpose of this study was to investigate that concurrent oxygen and carbon dioxide fluctuations are among the physiological variables that contribute to RMMA onset. Twelve subjects (5 female, 7 male, mean age: 43 ± 11) underwent polysomnography recording in a sleep laboratory. RMMA index and apnea-hypopnea index were calculated. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) was estimated by finger pulse oximeter and end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) by nasal airflow cannula before and after RMMA onset. Given the expected response time delay between actual arterial hypoxemia and fingertip pulse detection, we adjusted the SpO2 desaturation onset to the onset of masseter muscle activity using a 17 s criterion based on ETCO2 shifts. SpO2 was slightly but significantly lower than at baseline (max: −0.6%) in the 6–4 s before RMMA onset and significantly higher in the 6–18 s after onset (0.9%; p < 0.05). Although ETCO2 before RMMA onset did not differ from baseline, it decreased at 8–10 s after onset (−1.7 mmHg: p < 0.05). No changes in SpO2 or ETCO2 in relation to RMMA onset reached a critical clinical threshold. The mild transient hypoxia observed before RMMA onset was not associated with a change in ETCO2. The mild and brief oxygen fluctuations before RMMA onset may reflect a physiological response that seems to have little influence on SB genesis.

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 it
