Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on detecting multijet signatures from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV, analyzing a dataset totaling 128 fb^{-1}.
  • A special data scouting method is utilized to pick out events with low combined momentum in jets.
  • This research is pioneering in its investigation of electroweak particle production in R-parity violating supersymmetric models, particularly examining hadronically decaying mass-degenerate higgsinos, and it broadens the limits on the existence of R-parity violating top squarks and gluinos.

An adult male castrated French bulldog mix was presented for suspected caval syndrome and bilateral pelvic limb paresis. After emergency transjugular heartworm extraction, abdominal ultrasound revealed occlusive adult heartworms in the abdominal aorta extending into the pelvic limb arteries. Hybrid interventional and surgical extraction was pursued, and heartworms were removed via bilateral femoral arteriotomy and caudal abdominal aortotomy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how well Doppler echocardiographic methods for estimating transpulmonary pressure gradients (PG) in dogs with pulmonary valve stenosis correlate with direct measurements from catheterization.
  • It includes client-owned dogs that underwent balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, examining echocardiographic data compared to catheterization reports over a 10-year period.
  • The findings show that the echocardiographic methods can lead to systematic errors in PG estimations, with mean PG underestimating and peak PG overestimating the actual pressure gradient, highlighting they are not interchangeable.

The first search for the Z boson decay to ττμμ at the CERN LHC is presented, based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The data are compatible with the predicted background. For the first time, an upper limit at the 95% confidence level of 6.
