Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after pediatric inguinal hernia repair-a retrospective analysis.

Background: Surgical treatment of inguinal hernias in children is one of the most common operative procedures worldwide. During surgery for inguinal hernias in adults, chronic pain develops in approximately 10% of all cases. In children, there has been limited research to determine whether they may also develop this chronic postsurgical inguinal pain (CPIP).

Search for CP-Violating Neutrino Nonstandard Interactions with the NOvA Experiment.

This Letter reports a search for charge-parity (CP) symmetry violating nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter using the NOvA Experiment, and examines their effects on the determination of the standard oscillation parameters. Data from ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{e}(ν[over ¯]_{e}) oscillation channels are used to measure the effect of the NSI parameters ϵ_{eμ} and ϵ_{eτ}. With 90% CL the magnitudes of the NSI couplings are constrained to be |ϵ_{eμ}|≲0.

The Impact of Family-Based Treatment for Adolescent Anorexia Nervosa on Compulsive Exercise Attitudes and Behaviors.

Objective: While Family-based treatment for anorexia nervosa (FBT-AN) is effective for weight restoration and improvement in eating-related cognitions, its effect on exercise attitudes and behaviors is little studied. Compulsive exercise is common in AN and often challenging to change.

Method: This secondary analysis examined changes in attitudes toward compulsive exercise (Compulsive Exercise Test-CET) and behaviors (Eating Disorder Examination-EDE) using data from a randomized clinical trial testing an adjunctive treatment for adolescents with AN who failed to gain 2.

Systematic perturbation screens identify regulators of inflammatory macrophage states and a role for TNF mRNA m6A modification.

Macrophages exhibit remarkable functional plasticity, a requirement for their central role in tissue homeostasis. During chronic inflammation, macrophages acquire sustained inflammatory 'states' that contribute to disease, but there is limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that drive their generation. Here we describe a systematic functional genomics approach that combines genome-wide phenotypic screening in primary murine macrophages with transcriptional and cytokine profiling of genetic perturbations in primary human macrophages to uncover regulatory circuits of inflammatory states.
