Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

A Retrospective Analysis of Fresh versus Cryopreserved Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplant within a Pediatric Population: A Change in Practice Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Several adult studies show mixed reports in clinical outcomes between cryopreserved and fresh stem cell products, with majority reporting no significant differences and others report that there are differences in outcomes. There is limited literature reporting its impact on outcomes in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT).

Objective: To compare clinical outcomes between fresh vs cryopreserved stem cell treatment in pediatric HSCT.

Magnetic field quality conversion factors experimentally measured in clinical MR-linac beams for seven MR-compatible ionization chamber models.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to experimentally quantify MR-compatible ionization chamber response for 1.5T Elekta Unity and 0.35T ViewRay MRIdian MR-linac systems through the determination of the magnetic field quality conversion factor, k.

Assisted reproductive technologies in Latin America: the Latin American Registry, 2021.

Research Question: What are the trends and impact of new technologies on the effectiveness and safety of assisted reproductive technology (ART) performed in Latin America during 2021?

Design: This was a retrospective collection of cycle-based multinational data obtained from ART procedures performed by 204 accredited institutions in 16 countries.

Results: In total 127,351initiated cycles resulted in 20,032 deliveries and 22,708 births. ART utilization showed great variability, from 623.
