CoSn and FeSn, two kagome-lattice metals, have recently attracted significant attention as hosts of electronic flat bands and emergent physical properties. However, current understandings of their physical properties are limited to knowledge of the average crystal structure. Here, we report the Fe-doping induced coemergence of the antiferromagentic (AFM) order and local symmetry breaking in (CoFe)Sn.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of co-medication with metformin, a statin, or beta blocker with survival in patients with primary ovarian cancer.

Methods: Individual data from three phase III, randomized controlled trials (AGO-OVAR 11, AGO-OVAR 12, and AGO-OVAR 16) and one phase II trial (AGO-OVAR 15) were pooled and analyzed. Patients were classified as ever user if the specific co-medication was documented at least once during the trial, and were compared with never users as controls.

Article Synopsis
  • - Metals with a kagome lattice, like the newly discovered VSn, are interesting because they can have both flat-band and Dirac electronic structures.
  • - The study examines ScVSn, using quantum oscillations in electrical transport and magnetization to investigate its electronic properties, which align with theoretical models.
  • - Findings show a significant Berry phase for a key orbit, providing evidence of a topological band structure and enhancing understanding of the complex physics in kagome metals.

This study evaluated the ability of passive chlorinators and the associated kinds of external support necessary to provide adequate free chlorine residual (FCR) for community distribution systems in rural Honduras. We found that 77% of samples, from distribution systems with passive chlorinators installed by EOS International at storage tanks within these distribution systems, had FCR concentrations that met or exceeded the World Health Organization minimum threshold of 0.2 mg/L for point-of-use or piped systems.

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare gestational trophoblastic tumor, first described by Shih and Kurman in 1998. ETT often present as abnormal vaginal bleeding in women of reproductive age, but unlike more common forms of GTN tend to produce much less human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for the volume of disease present. ETT can occur after any gestational event and can occur in both intrauterine and extrauterine sites.
