Proton radiography is a central diagnostic technique for measuring electromagnetic (EM) fields in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasmas. In this technique, protons traverse the plasma where they accumulate small EM deflections which lead to variations in the proton fluence pattern on a detector. Path-integrated EM fields can then be extracted from the fluence image through an inversion process.

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells from somatic mutations. It is a common incidental finding in cell-free DNA (cfDNA). We investigated the incidence of CHIP in cfDNA from patients with solid tumours and explored its association with treatment outcomes and adverse events.

Our study aimed to report on variables associated with communicative health literacy (COM-HL) in European adults. The HLS survey was conducted in 2019-2021 including nine countries which measured COM-HL by using a validated questionnaire (HLS-COM-P-Q6 with a score ranging from 0 to 100). Linear regression models were used to study variables associated with COM-HL globally (multilevel model with random intercepts and slopes and at country level) and in each country.

Article Synopsis
  • The common marmoset has become increasingly popular in neuroscience research over the past 20 years, especially for studying human brain diseases, but marmoset-specific research tools are often limited and must be created within labs.
  • A team has designed and tested various imaging and measurement techniques for studying marmosets, including MRI, PET, CT, and electrophysiology, and has made these designs publicly accessible to help ease the burden on researchers.
  • They provide numerous computer-aided design (CAD) files, software, and resources, including tools for neuroimaging and experimental stimuli, through the Marmoset Brain Connectome website to support further advancements in marmoset neuroscience.
