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.

Variability of antimicrobial susceptibility of commensal Neisseria species supports its use as a marker of excessive antimicrobial consumption - reflections from the results of a four-country study.

This perspective explores the utility of commensal Neisseria species as an early warning sign of excessive antimicrobial consumption. Little is known as to how the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of various commensal Neisseria species varies between populations around the world. We compared the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of oral commensal Neisseria species in the general population and cohorts of men who have sex with men (MSM) in four countries with available data - Belgium, Italy, Japan and Vietnam.

Socioeconomic status, cardiovascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis: a SCOT-HEART trial analysis.

Aims: To investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status, plaque burden on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), management and outcomes.

Methods: In a post-hoc analysis of a multicentre randomised control trial, we assessed associations between socioeconomic status and qualitative (stenosis, adverse plaque characteristics) and quantitative (total plaque, calcified plaque, non-calcified and low attenuation) CCTA plaque features and examined the interaction of socioeconomic status on cardiovascular outcomes.

Results: Socioeconomic status was available in 3948 participants of whom 1989 were randomised to CCTA and 1629 scans were suitable and available for quantitative plaque analysis.

High prevalence of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2023-2024.

Ceftriaxone resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an escalating global health concern, threatening the efficacy of empiric treatment. In the Asia-Pacific region, a rapid surge in ceftriaxone resistance has been observed, primarily associated with the penA-60.001 allele.
