Abstract
In Canada, acupuncture is a regulated medical practice that involves inserting thin needles at specific points on the body to alleviate pain and other health conditions. Acupuncture is a controlled act in physiotherapy practice. Therefore, physiotherapists who incorporate acupuncture into their practice should have the necessary education and roster this controlled act with the regulatory college in their province. Although acupuncture can be helpful, potential complications can arise, ranging from minor bruising to life-threatening conditions such as pneumothorax and cardiac tamponade. This article provides information on the potential adverse effects of acupuncture and provides recommendations for physiotherapists regarding prevention and management of any incidents that may arise during treatment.

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
