Article Synopsis
- The study investigates CP symmetry violation in the decay of D^{+} particles into K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} using data from proton-proton collisions at a high energy of 13 TeV.
- A unique model-independent method was employed to analyze the phase-space distributions of D^{+} and D^{-} particles, correcting for any instrumental biases using D_{s}^{+} decays.
- The findings indicate no significant evidence of CP violation, with a p value of 8.1%, and measure specific CP asymmetry observables, marking this study as the most sensitive search of its kind in multibody decays.
Background And Aims: The aim of the present study was to assess prevalence and disease outcomes of arthritis in a nationwide cohort of pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: We collected data of pediatric IBD patients experiencing arthritis from the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition IBD registry. We gathered baseline and one-year follow-up data on concomitant IBD and arthritis diagnosis.
Chromoblastomycosis is an uncommon, chronic granulomatous fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Chromoblastomycosis is most commonly caused by the traumatic inoculation of dematiaceous (pigmented) fungi, most commonly species, species, and species. Chromoblastomycosis usually affects agricultural workers in tropical and subtropical climates.

Article Synopsis
- After cardiac transplantation, monitoring for acute cellular rejection (ACR) typically involves endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), but there's interest in finding non-invasive alternatives.
- This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of speckle-tracking echocardiography in detecting ACR, analyzing data from over 2000 biopsies across 18 studies.
- Findings indicate that both left and right ventricular global longitudinal strain are significantly lower in patients without ACR, suggesting that this echocardiography method could be a useful tool for early rejection detection and potentially reduce the need for routine EMB.
The introduction of self-sampling in cervical cancer screening has raised the importance of HPV test validation on self-collected samples. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical accuracy of the OncoPredict HPV Screening (SCR) assay on self-collected vaginal and first-void urine (FVU) samples, relative to cervical specimens, using the VALHUDES Framework. FVU and vaginal self-samples followed by a clinician-collected cervical brushing were collected from 500 women referred to colposcopy and tested using OncoPredict HPV SCR assay.
