Microsecond Isomer at the N=20 Island of Shape Inversion Observed at FRIB.

Excited-state spectroscopy from the first experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is reported. A 24(2)-μs isomer was observed with the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi) through a cascade of 224- and 401-keV γ rays in coincidence with ^{32}Na nuclei. This is the only known microsecond isomer (1  μs≤T_{1/2}<1  ms) in the region.

Quenching of Single-Particle Strength in A=15 Nuclei.

Absolute cross sections for the addition of s- and d-wave neutrons to ^{14}C and ^{14}N have been determined simultaneously via the (d,p) reaction at 10  MeV/u. The difference between the neutron and proton separation energies, ΔS, is around -20  MeV for the ^{14}C+n system and +8  MeV for ^{14}N+n. The population of the 1s_{1/2} and 0d_{5/2} orbitals for both systems is reduced by a factor of approximately 0.

Tumor Type Agnostic Therapy Carrying BRAF Mutation: Case Reports and Review of Literature.

Background: Precision medicine is based on molecular and genotypic patient characterization to define specific target treatment. BRAF mutation is an oncogenic driver, and the Cancer Genome Atlas has identified BRAF mutations in different cancer types. Tumor type agnostic therapy is based on targeting genomic alterations, regardless of tumor origin.

Reliability of the six-minute walk test in individuals with stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The six-minute walking test (6MWT) is a simple and widely used measure of functional capacity. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize findings on reliability of 6MWT in subjects who have had a stroke.

Methods: Two independent investigators conducted an extensive search in multidisciplinary electronic databases from inception to August 2019, and selected complete original studies on the reliability of the 6MWT used to assess individuals with stroke.
