A search for violation of the charge-parity (CP) symmetry in the D^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay is presented, with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^{-1}, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. A novel model-independent technique is used to compare the D^{+} and D^{-} phase-space distributions, with instrumental asymmetries subtracted using the D_{s}^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay as a control channel.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: A recent case report described an individual who was a homozygous carrier of the APOE3 Christchurch (APOE3ch) mutation and resistant to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caused by a PSEN1-E280A mutation. Whether APOE3ch contributed to the protective effect remains unclear.
Method: We generated a humanized APOE3ch knock-in mouse and crossed it to an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque-depositing model.
Article Synopsis
- Urbanization is affecting landscapes and ecosystems, particularly in urban areas where trees play a vital role in regulating climate, air quality, and biodiversity.
- This study focuses on comparing tree leaf structures and environmental conditions between urban and suburban sites in the Chicago area, using Norway Maple and Little-leaved Linden as subjects.
- The research found that urban areas had higher temperatures and greater leaf trait variations, with Norway Maple showing higher gas exchange rates in urban settings, indicating greater water loss compared to suburban sites.
Body mass index and trajectories of muscle strength and physical function over time in Mexican American older adults: Sex differences.
Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis
November 2024
Background And Aims: Worldwide, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased. We examined sex-specific patterns in the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with muscle strength and physical function among older Mexican Americans over time.
Methods And Results: Participants (N = 1975) aged ≥65 years (mean = 72.
Background: Diabetic patients often present with complex limb pathology, resulting in impaired sensation in the distal extremities making tactile injuries such as burns difficult to notice. We posit that poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, evidenced by increasing elevations in hemoglobin A1c, is associated with delayed wound healing and increased complications in burn patients.
Methods: The TriNetX Network, a database of 89 million patients across the U.
