Pan-phylum genomes of hornworts reveal conserved autosomes but dynamic accessory and sex chromosomes.

Hornworts, one of the three bryophyte phyla, show some of the deepest divergences in extant land plants, with some families separated by more than 300 million years. Previous hornwort genomes represented only one genus, limiting the ability to infer evolution within hornworts and their early land plant ancestors. Here we report ten new chromosome-scale genomes representing all hornwort families and most of the genera.

Measurement of CP Violation Observables in D^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} Decays.

A search for violation of the charge-parity (CP) symmetry in the D^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay is presented, with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4  fb^{-1}, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. A novel model-independent technique is used to compare the D^{+} and D^{-} phase-space distributions, with instrumental asymmetries subtracted using the D_{s}^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay as a control channel.

Immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 in sub-Saharan Africa and western Europe: a retrospective, population-based, cross-sectional study.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with a higher proportion of asymptomatic infections and lower mortality in sub-Saharan Africa than high-income countries. However, there is currently a lack of data on cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 in people living in Africa compared with people in high-income regions of the world. We aimed to assess geographical variation in peripheral and mucosal immune responses.

Clinical Application of 3D-Assisted Surgery Techniques in Treatment of Intra-Articular Distal Radius Fractures: A Systematic Review in 718 Patients.

: Three-dimensional (3D) technology is increasingly applied in the surgical treatment of distal radial fractures and may optimize surgical planning, improve fracture reduction, facilitate implant and screw positioning, and thus prevent surgical complications. The main research questions of this review were as follows: (1) "How do 3D-assisted versus 2D-assisted distal radius fracture surgery compare in terms of intraoperative metrics (i.e.

Shared decision making in patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm or peripheral artery disease: a scoping review.

Objective: This review provides an overview of the literature on shared decision making (SDM) in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or peripheral artery disease (PAD) and identifies barriers and facilitators.

Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted in which four databases were systematically searched for the period January 2007 to November 2024. All articles were reviewed by two independent authors and asses for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
