I briefly review CP violation in the B system, concentrating on B → πK decays. I discuss how to deal with electroweak-penguin contributions to these decays using flavour SU(3). With these, I show that the entire unitarity triangle can be extracted from measurements of B → πK decays. Finally, I examine the signals for new physics in these decays and the possibilities for measuring them. talk giv...

We discuss the impact of the most recent data on the MRST global analysis-in particular the new high-E T jet data and their implications for the gluon and the new small x structure function data. In the light of these new data we also consider the uncertainty in predictions for physical quantities depending on parton distributions, concentrating on the W cross-section at hadron colliders. There...

Harenko and Lapallainen 4 (1962) reported a case of chronic progressive ophtalmoplegia with pigmentary degeneration of the retina, also referring 5 similar reports. A s s i s 1 (1967) published the case of a 16-year-old female patient with progressive ophthalmoplegia, which began with palpebral ptosis and pigmentary degeneration of the retina, spreading to the macular regions; biopsy of the lef...

OBJECTIVE Neonatal screening and earlier diagnosis have improved the prognosis of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency, which causes a need to refine the staging of the pigmentary chorioretinopathy and thus improve monitoring and comparability of patients under dietary therapy. METHODS Seven children with LCHAD deficiency caused by homozygous G1528C mutation at...
