Article Synopsis
  • Avoiding food allergens can actually increase the risk of food allergy in infants with atopic dermatitis, making it essential to introduce certain allergenic foods early.
  • The main treatment for atopic dermatitis involves topical steroids and emollients rather than changing the diet, although introducing peanut and egg should occur before 8 months for all children.
  • Current guidelines encourage early introduction of diverse, healthy foods and suggest breastfeeding, which has mixed evidence on preventing allergies but offers numerous health benefits.

Background: Echinococcus granulosis tapeworms' definitive hosts are dogs who live in endemic areas. Humans are infected by petting dogs or eating infected, not propely, heated food. In multiple organs, preferably in liver and lungs, these tapeworms can form cysts which in time might cause mechanical complications.

This Letter presents the observation and measurement of electroweak production of a same-sign W boson pair in association with two jets using 36.1  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is performed in the detector fiducial phase-space region, defined by the presence of two same-sign leptons, electron or muon, and at least two jets with a large invariant mass and rapidity difference.

Charged-particle fragmentation functions for jets azimuthally balanced by a high-transverse-momentum, prompt, isolated photon are measured in 25  pb^{-1} of pp and 0.49  nb^{-1} of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
