Experimental pilot study after surgery on a food supplement for athletes to protect articular knee cartilage. A functional and biochemical study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This double-blind experimental study evaluates the efficacy of chondroprotective supplementation (Carticure Plus®, 5000 mg Collagen – Bioactive Peptides, 1500 mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 1200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 1.1 mg Copper, 80 mg Vitamin C, 2 mg Manganese) in patients with meniscal and ligament pathology who have required arthroscopic surgery. 12 patients with ligamentous injury and 12 patients with meniscopathy were selected, who underwent the measurement of different inflammatory markers using ELISA, collagen 2A and hyaluronic acid, in addition to evaluating pain as well as functionality and quality of life through VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), WOMAC (Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) and KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score). Statistically significant differences of clinical improvement were observed in favor of Carticure Plus®, with an improvement in the functional capacity of the WOMAC scale, 76% Carticure Plus® vs 53% placebo, for all patients and with a clear improvement in the first month in meniscal injury, in improvement of the activities of daily life (KOOS), Carticure Plus® 31% vs placebo -1%, sports activity, (Carticure Plus® 41% vs placebo 13,2%) and sports and recreational activities (KOOS) (Carticure Plus® 128% vs Placebo 10,4%). On the other hand, in ligamentous injury an improvement in quality of life (KOOS) Carticure Plus® 75% vs Placebo -8,8% and pain (KOOS) Carticure Plus® 49,6% vs Placebo 0,3% was observed in the first month compared to the baseline. In the patient group, pain (KOOS) Carticure Plus® 31,4% vs Placebo 1,3% and activities of daily living (KOOS) Carticure Plus® 43,9% vs Placebo 27,1% in the third month from baseline, are associated with an improvement due to Carticure Plus® when compared to the placebo group. Despite the small sample size, it is remarkable the fact that statistically significant differences have been found, the efficacy of Carticure Plus® could be assumed.

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.
