Early manifestations of large-vessel vasculitis are often non-specific, which can result in missed or delayed diagnosis. A case of Takayasu arteritis with femoral artery predominance diagnosed using fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) imaging in a patient with fevers, myalgia, lower limb claudication and erectile pain is presented in this report. This case report describes an unusual genitourinary manifestation of vasculitis and highlights the utility of FDG-PET/CT in the diagnostic work-up of patients with fever of unknown origin.

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a detector array comprised by 988 5  cm×5  cm×5  cm TeO_{2} crystals held below 20 mK, primarily searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130}Te. Unprecedented in size among cryogenic calorimetric experiments, CUORE provides a promising setting for the study of exotic throughgoing particles. Using the first tonne year of CUORE's exposure, we perform a search for hypothesized fractionally charged particles (FCPs), which are well-motivated by various standard model extensions and would have suppressed interactions with matter.

Background: Research has consistently shown that there is no safe blood lead level (BLL) for children. Despite progress in lead poisoning prevention, lead exposure remains a persistent threat to the health and neurological development of children. To identify high-risk ZIP codes for use by families and health care providers for the entire state of North Carolina, we developed a risk model using ZIP Code Tabula-tion Area (ZCTA)-level census data.
