The T22 protocol is an animal model of forced internal desynchronization, in which rats are exposed to an 11:11 light-dark (LD) cycle. This non-invasive protocol induces the dissociation of circadian rhythms in adult rats, making it possible to study the effects of circadian disruption on physiological and behavioral processes such as learning, memory, and emotional responses. However, the effects of circadian dissociation during other developmental stages, such as adolescence, remain unexplored.

A cross-sectional study included 33 post-pubertal JIA (21 without and 12 with Methotrexate (MTX) women and 28 age-matched healthy controls. Metabolomic analyses based on targeted electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry were used to identify possible biochemical pathway modifications in serum from JIA patients.

The decay parameters and the associated charge-parity (CP) asymmetries are measured, with no significant CP violation observed. For the first time, the Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}h^{-} decay parameters are measured.

However, data on the military population are limited, particularly regarding return to duty. This study aimed to describe a population of French military patients with traumatic non-neurological TL fractures and the outcomes of non-surgical management regarding operational capacity.
