We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V(cb)| and the form-factor slope rho2 in B --> Dl- nu(l) decays based on 460x10(6) BB events recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. B --> Dl- nu(l) decays are selected in events in which a hadronic decay of the second B meson is fully reconstructed. We measure B(B- --> D0 l- nu(l))/B(B- --> Xl- nu(l)) = (0.255+/-0.009+/-0.009) and B(B0 --> D+ l- nu(l))/B(B0 --> Xl- nu(l)) = (0.230+/-0.011+/-0.011), along with the differential decay distribution in B --> Dl- nu(l) decays. We then determine G(1)|V(cb)| = (42.3+/-1.9+/-1.4)x10(-3) and rho2 = 1.20+/-0.09+/-0.04, where G(1) is the hadronic form factor at the point of zero recoil.

Genetic Predisposition to Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Incident Type 2 Diabetes.
JAMA Cardiol
January 2025
Program of Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Importance: Treatment to lower high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces incident coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but modestly increases the risk for incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). The extent to which genetic factors across the cholesterol spectrum are associated with incident T2D is not well understood.
Objective: To investigate the association of genetic predisposition to increased LDL-C levels with incident T2D risk.
Effect of Plant Versus Animal Protein on Muscle Mass, Strength, Physical Performance, and Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Nutr Rev
January 2025
Nutrition and Metabolism Research Group, Centre for Public Health, Queen's University Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast BT12 6BJ, United Kingdom.
Context: Dietary protein is recommended for sarcopenia-a debilitating condition of age-related loss of muscle mass and strength that affects 27% of older adults. The effects of protein on muscle health may depend on protein quality.
Objective: The aim was to synthesize randomized controlled trial (RCT) data comparing plant with animal protein for muscle health.

January 2025
Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Gunung Jati, Kesambi Street No. 56, Cirebon, West Java, 45134, Indonesia.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 100,000 deliveries. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is dominating the clinical presentation. It is estimated that 29% of the patients had normal coronary arteries, and hyperthyroidism may be associated with coronary vasospasm.

January 2025
Pattern Recognition Lab, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Martensstr. 3, 91058, Erlangen, Bayern, Germany.
Purpose: Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers globally, necessitating effective early screening and diagnosis. This study investigates the effectiveness and generalizability of our recently proposed data augmentation technique, attention-guided erasing (AGE), across various transfer learning classification tasks for breast abnormality classification in mammography.
Methods: AGE utilizes attention head visualizations from DINO self-supervised pretraining to weakly localize regions of interest (ROI) in images.
Factor VIII Antibodies Demonstrate Type I or Type II Kinetics in Acquired Haemophilia A.
Haemophilia
January 2025
Katharine Dormandy Haemophilia and Thrombosis Unit, Royal Free Hospital, London, UK.
Background: Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is an acquired bleeding disorder resulting from autoantibodies against Factor VIII (FVIII). Previous studies have reported differences in FVIII inhibitor kinetics (type I or type II) in AHA compared to severe haemophilia A.
Aim: To characterise inhibitor kinetics in AHA and evaluate the proportions displaying type I, II or indeterminate kinetics.
