Dual-Baseline Search for Active-to-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations in NOvA.

We report a search for neutrino oscillations to sterile neutrinos under a model with three active and one sterile neutrinos (3+1 model). This analysis uses the NOvA detectors exposed to the NuMI beam, running in neutrino mode. The data exposure, 13.

Agreement between intraoperative and anterior segment optical coherence tomography measurements of the extraocular muscle insertion distance in patients with previous strabismus surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the agreement between anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) measurement of preoperative distance from the limbus to the horizontal rectus muscle insertion and intraoperative measurement in patients who have previously undergone strabismus surgery and required reoperation.

Methods: Subjects from two ophthalmological centers were included. Preoperative AS-OCT was used to measure the muscle insertion from the limbus, and intraoperative measurements were obtained using calipers.

Smartphone and social network addiction in early adolescents: The role of self-regulatory self-efficacy in a pilot school-based intervention.

Background: Youths' online problematic behaviors, such as smartphone or social network sites (SNS) addiction, gained increasing attention nowadays, due to their impact on concurrent and later adjustment, such as emotional and/or behavioral problems, academic impairments, or relational issues.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot school-based intervention to contrast online addictive behaviors while fostering adolescents' self-regulative abilities.

Materials & Methods: The intervention started in January 2022 in an Italian junior high school located in Rome, and consisted of four meetings with students.

Flow Cytometric Enumeration of Peripheral Blood CD34 Cells Predicts Bone Marrow Pathology in Patients with Less Than 1% Blasts by Manual Count.

Background And Aims: Significance of absolute number of CD34 cells in the peripheral blood of patients with less than 1% myeloblasts by manual differential count is unknown and our aim is to study its relevance in clinical practice.

Methods: We studied 138 peripheral bloods flow cytometric analyses in patients with less than 1% myeloblasts by manual differential, when CD34 events were present in the gate that encompassed lymphocytes, monocytes, stem cells, and blasts.

Results: The average absolute number of CD34cells in the peripheral blood was 11 CD34cells/µL ranging from less than 1 cell/µL to 147 cells/µL.
