A search is presented for an extended Higgs sector with two new particles, X and ϕ, in the process X→ϕϕ→(γγ)(γγ). Novel neural networks classify events with diphotons that are merged and determine the diphoton masses. The search uses LHC proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13 TeV collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1}. No evidence of such resonances is seen. Upper limits are set on the production cross section for m_{X} between 300 and 3000 GeV and m_{ϕ}/m_{X} between 0.5% and 2.5%, representing the most sensitive search in this channel.

SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals have reported a diverse collection of persistent and often debilitating symptoms commonly referred to as long COVID or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Identifying PASC and its subphenotypes is challenging because available data are "negative-unlabeled" as uninfected individuals must be PASC negative, but those with prior infection have unknown PASC status. Moreover, feature selection among many potentially informative characteristics can facilitate reaching a concise and easily interpretable PASC definition.

Importance: There is a need to identify the best performing risk prediction model for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) positivity in melanoma.
Objective: To comprehensively review the characteristics and discriminative performance of existing risk prediction models for SLNB positivity in melanoma.
Data Sources: Embase and MEDLINE were searched from inception to May 1, 2024, for English language articles.
Background: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), characterized by an obsessive focus on perceived flaws in appearance and affects approximately 0.7% through 2.4% of the general population, with dental-related concerns accounting for 20% of cases.

This study aims to review the evidence from Mendelian randomization (MR) studies on the causal role of vitamin D in type 2 diabetes (T2D). A systematic search (registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024551731)) was performed in PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for publications up to June 2024. MR studies including vitamin D as the exposure and T2D as the outcome were included.

A new pyrrolopyrazine alkaloid, named lycipyrazine A (), alone with seven known alkaloids (-), were isolated from the fruit of The structure of new compound was determined using extensive 1D and 2D spectroscopic analyses, while its absolute configuration was determined by comparison of its experimental and calculated ECD spectra. Their -glucosidase inhibitory activity was screened using acarbose as a positive control. Compound showed strong inhibitory activity against -glucosidase (IC = 3.
