Grouping of chemicals has been proposed as a strategy to speed up the screening and identification of potential substances of concern among the broad chemical universe under REACH. Such grouping is usually based on shared structural features and should only be used for the prioritization objectives. However, additional considerations (as well as structural similarity) are needed, e.

- The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
- A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
- The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.
Introduction: Very low-calorie diets with hospitalization have demonstrated promise as a viable therapeutic option for severe obesity and its associated comorbidities. However, large studies providing a comprehensive longitudinal observation of patients undergoing this therapy are lacking. We evaluated the effectiveness of treating severe obesity in hospitalized patients, using very low-calorie diets and clinical support to develop lifestyle changes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how environmental and climate factors affect the spread of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil's Doce River basin, aiming to enhance future surveillance and control efforts.
- It utilizes ecological niche modeling, analyzing 855 VL cases from 2001-2018 to predict current and future disease distributions based on various climatic and environmental variables.
- Key findings indicate that human activities and climate change could increase VL suitable areas by 7% by 2041 and 12% by 2080, emphasizing the need for improved vector control initiatives in the region.
