Objective: To describe the technique and long-term outcomes in a group of eight dogs undergoing arthroscopic debridement with implant retention or subsequent revision surgery for total hip replacement (THR) infection.
Study Design: Short case series.
Methods: Dogs underwent a THR procedure and subsequently developed signs consistent with a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).
This Letter presents a search for highly ionizing magnetic monopoles in 262 μb^{-1} of ultraperipheral Pb+Pb collision data at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.36 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters of hits reconstructed in the innermost silicon detector layers is introduced to study highly ionizing particles in heavy-ion data.

These hold the promise of evaluating drug efficacy and disease progression over shorter periods than traditional 'end-stage' outcome measures (e.g.

Methods: Clinical features and investigations from molecularly confirmed patients at a large referral center were analyzed (retrospective cohort study).
Results: Nineteen patients (14 families), with five different variants, were included: p.
Z boson events at the Large Hadron Collider can be selected with high purity and are sensitive to a diverse range of QCD phenomena. As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.
