Direct detection of homonuclear diatomic dications using mass spectrometry has the intrinsic inability to distinguish between fragments with the same mass-to-charge ratio, as is the case of the oxygen molecule. In this work, absolute cross sections for the double ionization of the homoisotopic (16)O2 molecule by electron impact, in the 30-400 eV energy range, is reported for the first time, and show significant discrepancies with previous results, obtained with the heteroisotopic (16)O(17)O. The measurements suggest that O2 (++) is mainly produced through post-collisional Auger-like deexcitation.

Background: The Hispanic/Latino population is not uniform. Prevalence and clinical outcomes of cardiac arrhythmias in ethnic background subgroups are variable, but the reasons for differences are unclear. Vectorcardiographic Global Electrical Heterogeneity (GEH) has been shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Background: The rising incidence of parotid gland tumors, with a focus on pleomorphic adenomas (PMA) and Warthin tumors (WT), necessitates accurate preoperative distinction due to their treatment variability and PMA's malignant potential. Traditional imaging, while valuable, has limited accuracy. This study employs multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) radiomics coupled with serum alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU) levels to develop a diagnostic model aimed at elevating clinical discernment and precision therapy delivery.

Alcohol consumption, drinking patterns and cause-specific mortality in an Australian cohort of 181,607 participants aged 45 years and over.

Public Health

December 2024

The Daffodil Centre, The University of Sydney, a Joint Venture with Cancer Council NSW, Postal Address: PO Box 572, KINGS CROSS, NSW, 1340, Australia.

Objectives: Despite relatively high alcohol consumption in Australia, local evidence regarding drinking and cause-specific mortality is limited. We aimed to quantify the risk of alcohol-related causes of death and to calculate contemporary estimates of absolute risk and population attributable fractions for deaths caused by alcohol consumption in Australia.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Background: Poor diet quality may contribute to undernutrition, particularly affecting young children from low-income households. Therefore, affordable and healthy local food-based recommendations (FBRs) are needed.

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) identify problem nutrient(s), (2) identify locally available nutrient-dense food sources that can provide adequate nutrients to meet the recommended dietary intakes of undernourished urban poor children aged 2-5 years, and (3) use linear programming to recommend a daily diet based on the current food patterns that achieves dietary adequacy and meets average food costs for these children.
