Article Synopsis
  • A proposed relationship exists between the chiral central charge of gapped, two-dimensional quantum systems and a bulk entanglement measure called the modular commutator.
  • Evidence supports this relation, but it is shown in this study that it is not universal across all systems.
  • The authors present examples of lattice systems with a zero chiral central charge that still produce nonzero "spurious" modular commutator values, demonstrating this discrepancy in both one- and two-dimensional setups.

Background: The metabotropic glutamate type 5 (mGlu5) receptor has emerged as a potential target for the treatment of psychosis that is suggested to have greater efficacy than antipsychotic medications that are currently utilized.

Aims: This study sought to elucidate mechanisms of therapeutic action associated with the modulation of the mGlu5 receptor in a disordered system marked by dopamine dysfunction. We further explored epigenetic mechanisms contributing to heritable transmission of a psychosis-like phenotype in a novel heritable model of drug abuse vulnerability in psychosis.

Introduction: Standardization has the potential to serve as a measure to mitigate complication rates. The objective was to assess the impact of standardization by implementing a colorectal bundle (CB), which comprises nine elements, on the complication rates in left-sided colorectal resections.

Patients And Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational, cohort trial was conducted in Switzerland at nine participating hospitals.

Background: Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective therapy for obesity and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed procedure. However, weight regain and dumping syndrome occur over time. The transoral outlet reduction (TORe) procedure using an endoscopic suturing device may be an option to treat these conditions.
