Yb_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7} is a celebrated example of a pyrochlore magnet with highly frustrated, anisotropic exchange interactions. To date, attention has largely focused on its unusual, static properties, many of which can be understood as coming from the competition between different types of magnetic order. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering with exceptionally high energy resolution to explore the dynamical properties of Yb_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}.

Objectives: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of available studies regarding the effects of the traditional herb (as topical application and oral intake) on the severity of acute pain in adults.

Methods: A systematic search was performed on the following databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Scientific Information Database, and Magiran from inception to 20 March 2021. We included parallel-group and cross-over randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of any products containing in oral and topical administration forms to placebo, non-treatment, or conventional treatment.

Background: Health literacy (HL) is considered a cancer-preventive strategy. In addition, success in early diagnosis of cancer largely depends on individuals' knowledge, attitude, and performance regarding cancer warning signs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential relationship between HL and Knowledge, Attitude, and Performance (KAP) regarding cancer warning signs.

Recent studies have reported inconclusive results regarding the therapeutic effects of Rosa damascena on the outcomes of primary dysmenorrhea (PD) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Hence, this study is aimed to summarize the findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effects of this treatment on menstruation-related pain as the primary outcome and menstruation-related headache, fatigue, anxiety, and bloating as the secondary outcomes. This study evaluated parallel-group and cross-over RCTs on aromatherapy, topical treatment, or oral intake of R.

Ferromagnetically interacting Ising spins on the pyrochlore lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra form a highly degenerate manifold of low-energy states. A spin flip relative to this "spin-ice" manifold can fractionalize into two oppositely charged magnetic monopoles with effective Coulomb interactions. To understand this process, we have probed the low-temperature magnetic response of spin ice to time-varying magnetic fields through stroboscopic neutron scattering and SQUID magnetometry on a new class of ultrapure HoTiO crystals.
