The millimeter/submillimeter spectrum of magnesium chloride (MgCl) has been observed in two new electronic excited states, (3)Σ and (4)Σ, using direct absorption methods. The molecule was synthesized in a mixture of Cl, argon, and magnesium vapor. For the (3)Σ state, multiple rotational transitions were measured in the = 0 level for all six isotopologues (MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, and MgCl), as well as up to = 13 for MgCl.

Infertility affects an estimated 40-50% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the leading cause of anovulatory infertility, but only a small proportion of the patients require in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy. Both PCOS and IVF are associated with an increased risk of obstetric complications. To compare preconception endocrine profiles and symptoms, as well as obstetric outcomes of PCOS patients who achieved successful pregnancies with and without IVF treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The Letter reports the most accurate measurement so far of the matter-antimatter imbalance during Pb-Pb collisions at a high energy level of 5.02 TeV.
  • It utilizes the Statistical Hadronization framework to determine precise values for the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μ_{Q} and μ_{B}.
  • The analysis of antiparticle-to-particle yield ratios shows that the collisions create a system that is generally baryon-free and electrically neutral at midrapidity.

Background: Measurement of freezing of gait (FOG) relies on the sensitivity and reliability of tasks to provoke FOG. It is currently unclear which tasks provide the best outcomes and how medication state plays into this.

Objective: To establish the sensitivity and test-retest reliability of various FOG-provoking tasks for presence and severity of FOG, with (ON) and without (OFF) dopaminergic medication.
