Article Synopsis
- The Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) is designed to capture x-ray images from solar wind interactions in Earth's magnetosheath, helping researchers understand energy transfer into Earth's magnetosphere.
- As part of a lunar lander mission landing in Mare Crisium, LEXI features a unique array of 48 neodymium magnets to protect against interference from charged particles while minimizing stray magnetic fields.
- A Runge-Kutta-based simulation model shows that LEXI's deflector array and other particle suppression methods effectively limit proton and electron contamination, ensuring the success of its imaging capabilities and offering insights for similar instruments.
A critical analysis of UK media characterisations of Long Covid in children and young people.

Long Covid is the continuation or development of symptoms related to a SARSCoV2 infection. Those with Long Covid may face epistemic injustice, where they are unjustifiably viewed as unreliable evaluators of their own illness experiences. Media articles both reflect and influence perception and subsequently how people regard children and young people (CYP) with Long Covid, and may contribute to epistemic injustice.

Most cases remain asymptomatic or may be associated with a mild febrile illness; however, it can invade the central nervous system and cause meningoencephalitis, or rarely, acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). Here, we describe a case of WNV-associated paralysis in a previously healthy male presenting with asymmetric weakness and absent deep tendon reflexes.
