Background: Proton beam therapy (PBT) offers dosimetric advantages in pediatric radiotherapy by reducing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. However, broad implementation raises important ethical, logistical, and equity considerations, especially in settings with limited access to advanced technologies. Procedure: This position paper by the Paediatric Radiation Oncology Society (PROS) reviews t

A search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a resonantly produced pair of (Formula presented)-quarks with (Formula presented) using (Formula presented) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This signature is expected in extensions of the standard model predicting the production of dark matter par

Micropollutant removal is a key component of the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and can be achieved with ozonation. During ozonation, the composition of the wastewater matrix and the targeted treatment level for individual micropollutants or groups of such compounds affect ozone consumption. In this work, it was hypothesized that nitrite scavenging, the point of dosing (befor

A search for T and Y vector-like quarks produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and decaying into Wb in the fully hadronic final state is presented. The search uses 139 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC from 2015 to 2018. The final state is characterised by a hadronically decaying W boson with large Lorentz boost and a b-tagged jet, which are

This study investigates the effects of Age of Onset of Acquisition (AOA) and the quality and quantity of input on the longitudinal development of gender in the acquisition of French by simultaneous (2L1) and successive bilinguals (cL2). Three exponents of French gender are studied: the discovery of the abstract GENDER feature, gender assignment and gender concord. The findings show that the amount

Protein S is a vitamin K dependent plasma protein and a cofactor to activated protein C, a serine protease that regulates blood coagulation. The haploid genome contains two protein S genes (alpha and beta) with the protein S alpha-gene corresponding to the cloned cDNA. We have now isolated and mapped overlapping genomic clones that cover an area of 50 kilobases of the protein S alpha-gene which co

Aim Climate change is having far-reaching effects on the global environment. Here, the ALARM (Assessing Large-scale Risks for Biodiversity with Tested Methods, European Union 6th Framework Programme) climate change scenarios were used to assess changes to the fate of selected persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Scenarios detailing climate and land-cover changes, such as precipitation, temperatur

A measurement is reported of the production cross section of top-quark pairs (t (t) over bar) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Candidate events have a signature consistent with containing two isolated leptons, large missing transverse momentum, and at least two jets. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated lumin

Objectives To evaluate in a prospective, randomized clinical trial (RCT), symptom response among obese knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients following a feasible. intensive weight-loss program for 16 weeks Methods Eligible patients were obese [body mass index (BMI)> 30 kg/m(2)], >50 years old, with primary knee OA Participants were randomized to either a very-low-energy diet (VLED) or a low-energy die

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing has limited accuracy for the early detection of prostate cancer (PCa).

AZD0837 is a novel oral anticoagulant investigated in clinical studies for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It is bioconverted to its active form, AR-H067637, a potent, specific and reversible thrombin inhibitor.

Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have so far identified 45 loci that are robustly associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in data from adult men and women of European descent.
