Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective: This article is aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of electro-acupuncture in treating post-COVID-19 menstrual irregularities in 40 cases in eastern Canada. Method: 40 patients suffering from irregular menstruation after a Covid-19 infection were divided into 3 groups according to their main symptoms and were treated with electro-acupuncture using the acupoints Tianshu (ST25), Zigong (EX-CA1), Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Xuehai (SP10). Results: After treatment once a week over a course of 12 treatments, of the 40 patients, 33 cases were clinically cured, and 7 cases were ineffective. The rate of overall effectiveness was 82.5%. Conclusion: Electro-acupuncture regulated the menstrual cycle; restored the healthy functioning of the liver, kidneys and spleen; and the patient’s physical condition and quality of life improved.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
