Article Synopsis
- * The measurements utilized both semileptonic and hadronic decays of top quarks, along with events focused on single top quark production in the electroweak t channel.
- * The combined result for the top quark mass is 172.52 GeV, with a reduced total uncertainty of 0.33 GeV, showcasing an improvement of 31% over previous measurements.
The first evidence for the Higgs boson decay to a Z boson and a photon is presented, with a statistical significance of 3.4 standard deviations. The result is derived from a combined analysis of the searches performed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations with proton-proton collision datasets collected at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) from 2015 to 2018.

- Stress echocardiography (SE) is widely used and recognized in guidelines, but its applications now extend beyond just coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting the need for comprehensive studies on its diverse uses.
- A prospective, international study will involve over 100 high-volume SE labs, collecting clinical and imaging data across various heart conditions, aiming to uncover new insights regarding cardiac response to therapy.
- The project plans to recruit around 10,000 patients over a 5-year span and will focus on diverse issues such as heart failure types, cardiac therapies, and genetic heart diseases to analyze the effectiveness and consistency of SE parameters.
A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4ℓ decay channels. The results are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the reconstructed invariant mass peaks in the two channels and for the two experiments. The measured masses from the individual channels and the two experiments are found to be consistent among themselves.

Objective: To investigate the presence of ROS in hIP.
Methods: Since damage and apoptosis of inner ear hair cells may occur as a result of ROS-mediated injury, we investigated the presence and production of ROS in 105 hIP samples; 98 collected from patients affected by profound sensorineural hearing loss, during surgery for cochlear implantation, and 7 controls, collected from patients affected by otosclerosis, in case of spontaneous leakage after stapedotomy.
