Enhancing the light yield of He:CF based gaseous detector.

October 2024
The CYGNO experiment aims to build a large ( m ) directional detector for rare event searches, such as nuclear recoils (NRs) induced by dark matter (DM), such as weakly interactive massive particles (WIMPs). The detector concept comprises a time projection chamber (TPC), filled with a He:CF 60/40 scintillating gas mixture at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, equipped with an amplification stage made of a stack of three gas electron multipliers (GEMs) which are coupled to an optical readout. The latter consists in scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras and photomultipliers tubes (PMTs).

- - Ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment includes both conventional and advanced options like biological therapies and small molecules; surgery, such as ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), is recommended for severe cases but can lead to complications.
- - Chronic pouchitis, especially antibiotic-dependent (CADP) and antibiotic-refractory (CARP) types, poses significant treatment challenges due to insufficient evidence for effective options.
- - Promising results have been observed with biological therapies like vedolizumab and small molecules like JAK inhibitors; however, further quality research and clinical monitoring are necessary to establish reliable treatment guidelines.
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters are localized at the luminal surface of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). They confer fetal brain protection against harmful compounds that may be circulating in the peripheral blood. The fetus develops in low oxygen levels; however, some obstetric pathologies such as pre-eclampsia, placenta accreta/previa may result in even greater fetal hypoxic states.

- The study investigates how partner status and social network support influence physical activity (PA) levels in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
- Results showed that patients in stable relationships often view the risk of disease exacerbation as a barrier to engaging in regular PA, while single patients tend to see PA as protective against their condition.
- Additionally, individuals lacking support from their social network were more likely to perceive treatment and PA as risky, underscoring the importance of social factors in promoting regular PA for better disease management.
Background: Conversational chatbots, fueled by large language models, spark debate over their potential in education and medical career exams. There is debate in the literature about the scientific integrity of the outputs produced by these chatbots.
Aims: This study evaluates ChatGPT 3.
