The CMS collaboration reported an intriguing [Formula: see text] (local) excess at 96 GeV in the light Higgs-boson search diphoton decay mode. This mass coincides with a final state LEP. We briefly review proposed combined interpretations for two excesses. In more detail, we interpretation of this possible signal as lightest Higgs boson 2 Doublet Model additional real singlet (N2HDM). show whic...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), stress dual-energy computed tomography perfusion (DE-CTP), stress perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and the combinations of CCTA with myocardial perfusion imaging (CCTA + DE-CTP and CCTA + SPECT) for identifying coronary artery stenosis that causes myocardial hypop...

BACKGROUND Cancer Research Network (CRN) sites use administrative data to populate their Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW). However, information on VDW chemotherapy data validity is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of VDW chemotherapy data. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of women ≥18 years with incident, invasive breast cancer diagnosed between January 1...

Temperature has significant influence on physio-chemical responses of all living organisms including fish. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of temperature on dimethoate toxicity (96 h static bioassay) to freshwater catfish Heteropneustes fossilis. Fish mortality data were recorded at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h and analysed using EPA Probit analysis, Version 1.5, software based on...

Degradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a nitroaromatic explosive found in the soil and ground water, was investigated using Pseudomonas aeruginosa in in vitro experiments . Biodegradable abilitiy of this bacteria was performed with 50 and 75 mg L (-1) TNT concentrations in a defined liquid medium for 96 h time period. Treatment of TNT in supernatant samples taken at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 an...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and (99m)Tc-pertechnetate scintigraphy (TS) together in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Data from a series of 357 patients (284 women and 73 men, median age 43 years, range 19-73) with solitary thyroid nodule and no signs of hyperfunction, who had undergone both FNAC and TS prior to su...

To determine the accuracy of the Esophageal Detector Bulb (EDB) in the aeromedical setting, we conducted a prospective, observational study of all intubated patients transported by an aeromedical program over two years. Flight personnel recorded the results of the EDB, clinical examination, pulse oximetry, and capnography (ETCO(2)). Endotracheal tube position was confirmed by prehospital ETCO(2...

Eighteen dogs were used to compare histopathological findings following excision of the soft palate using either a bipolar sealing device or a carbon dioxide laser. Histopathological comparisons were done at 48 and 96 hours after soft palate resection. Mean depths of tissue injury at 96 hours were 3.5 and 3.33 mm for bipolar sealing device and carbon dioxide laser, respectively. Control of hemo...
