High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Background: Patients with the precipitous onset of cognitive symptoms (i.e., suspected rapid progressive dementia [RPD]) may continue to decline (true RPD) or may stabilize or improve (non-RPD).

Objectives: In this study, we describe a 54-year-old Indian woman who presented with clinical features of Kufs syndrome A (KSA) and Kufs syndrome B (KSB), as well as neuropathologic and genetic findings consistent with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 13 (CLN13). Subsequently, we review the clinicopathologic features of 20 patients with CLN13 reported in the literature.

Methods: Data and imaging were obtained from the patient's medical records.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the positive predictive value (PPV) of clinical diagnoses of multiple system atrophy (MSA) over two time periods, comparing data from 2008-2017 to 2018-2022, hypothesizing that advancements in diagnostic tools such as brain MRI would improve accuracy.
  • Among 321 patients diagnosed with MSA, the overall PPV increased from 63% to 78% between the two evaluated periods, with brain MRI usage rising significantly, indicating a strong correlation between MRI use and higher PPV for MSA cases.
  • The results also showed that while the PPV for the cerebellar type of MSA remained stable, the PP

A search for the exclusive hadronic decays W^{±}→π^{±}γ, W^{±}→K^{±}γ, and W^{±}→ρ^{±}γ is performed using up to 140  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV. If observed, these rare processes would provide a unique test bench for the quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism used to calculate cross sections at colliders. Additionally, at future colliders, these decays could offer a new way to measure the W boson mass through fully reconstructed decay products.
