The first study of the angular distribution of μ^{+}μ^{-} pairs produced in the forward rapidity region via the Drell-Yan reaction pp→γ^{*}/Z+X→ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-}+X is presented, using data collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.1 fb^{-1}. The coefficients of the five leading terms in the angular distribution are determined as a function of the dimuon transverse momentum and rapidity.

Falls may lead to functional impairment, fear of falling, decreased quality of life, high health care costs and mortality. A case of an older adult presented in this article, illustrates the multifactorial nature of risk of falling and fall prevention strategies. Recently, meta-analyses were performed to determine the effectiveness of interventions to prevent falls and to explore the effect of intervention components in reducing fear of falling.

Diagnostic prediction models can support the diagnostic process, both for experienced physicians and for physicians with little experience. More attention should be paid to the incorporation of diagnostic prediction models in the electronic patient record, so that a more accurate probability estimate can be made without simplification to rounded sumscores. A uniform cut-off of sum scores with associated categorization is also undesirable, because it does not take the context of the individual patient sufficiently into account.

The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate CP asymmetry of the D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} and D^{0}→K^{+}K^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}.

Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons made of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. Particles with an alternative quark content are known as exotic states.

Introduction: Although much work has been done on US abortion ideology, less is known relative to the psychological processes that distinguish personal abortion beliefs or how those beliefs are communicated to others. As part of a forthcoming probability-based sampling designed study on US abortion climate, we piloted a study with a controlled sample to determine whether psychological indicators guiding abortion beliefs can be meaningfully extracted from qualitative interviews using natural language processing (NLP) substring matching. Of particular interest to this study is the presence of cognitive distortions-markers of rigid thinking-spoken during interviews and how cognitive distortion frequency may be tied to rigid, or firm, abortion beliefs.

The first observation of the semileptonic b-baryon decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ}, with a significance of 6.1σ, is reported using a data sample corresponding to 3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV at the LHC. The τ^{-} lepton is reconstructed in the hadronic decay to three charged pions.

Tests of lepton universality in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} and B^{+}→K^{*+}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} decays where ℓ is either an electron or a muon are presented. The differential branching fractions of B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}e^{+}e^{-} and B^{+}→K^{*+}e^{+}e^{-} decays are measured in intervals of the dilepton invariant mass squared. The measurements are performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1} .

Two narrow resonant states are observed in the Λ_{b}^{0}K^{-}π^{+} mass spectrum using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^{-1}. The minimal quark content of the Λ_{b}^{0}K^{-}π^{+} system indicates that these are excited Ξ_{b}^{0} baryons. The masses of the Ξ_{b}(6327)^{0} and Ξ_{b}(6333)^{0} states are m[Ξ_{b}(6327)^{0}]=6327.

An amplitude analysis of flavor-untagged B_{s}^{0}→J/ψpp[over ¯] decays is performed using a sample of 797±31 decays reconstructed with the LHCb detector. The data, collected in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Evidence for a new structure in the J/ψp and J/ψp[over ¯] systems with a mass of 4337_{-4}^{+7} _{-2}^{+2} MeV and a width of 29_{-12}^{+26} _{-14}^{+14} MeV is found, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, with a significance in the range of 3.

Climate change forms an urgent health threat and gains attention in global medical literature as well as in Dutch healthcare. Climate change, however, is still absent in medical education. Health professionals must acquire knowledge concerning the health effects of climate change and train the values, skills, capacities, and motivation necessary to contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation.

Supervised exercise therapy with lifestyle counseling by a specialized physical therapist has replaced endovascular or open revascularization as primary treatment for intermittent claudication for most patients in the Netherlands. Succesful implementation of this guideline-recommended treatment strategy was achieved by warranting availability and quality of care by organizing care around a national network. Further reductions in unnecessary interventions in this population may be achieved when general practitioners and medical specialists collaborate, for instance by making in-hospital vascular diagnostic laboratories accessible for primary care.

Due to the rapid technical development and increasing availability of diagnostic tests, the use of diagnostics by general practitioners and medical specialists is increasing. However, the excessive use of diagnostic tests is also explained by the behavior of the doctors as well as patients. In this Perspective we outline factors that perpetuate excessive use of diagnostic tests, further fuelling overdiagnosis.
