Article Abstract

We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay B0-->phiK0. We use a sample of approximately 114 x 10(6) B-meson pairs taken at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-meson factory at SLAC. We reconstruct the CP eigenstates phiK0S and phiK0L, where phi-->K+K-, K0S-->pi+pi-, and K0L is observed via its hadronic interactions. The other B meson in the event is tagged as either a B0 or Bbar0 from its decay products. The values of the CP-violation parameters are SphiK=0.47+/-0.34(stat)+0.08-0.06(syst) and CphiK=0.01+/-0.33(stat)+/-0.10(syst).

The mechanical properties of the polymeric substrate or matrix where a cell grows affect cell behavior. Most studies have focused on relating elastic properties of polymeric substrates, which are time-independent, to cell behaviors. However, polymeric substrates and biological systems exhibit a time-dependent, often viscoelastic, mechanical response.

Evaluating the Long-term Effects of Microfocused Ultrasound on Facial Tightening Using Quantitative Instruments: Efficacy and Safety.

Aesthetic Plast Surg

September 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jinan University, No. 613 West, Huangpu Avenue, Guangzhou, 510630, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: Microfocused ultrasound (MFU) is a non-invasive technique used for facial rejuvenation, yet there is limited quantitative data on its long-term effects. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MFU for facial rejuvenation. We utilized standardized photography along with advanced skin assessment technologies to analyze the impact of MFU on facial morphology, skin function, and patient satisfaction over a 12-month period.

Background: Frailty is a common issue among hospitalized older adult patients and is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes. Assessing frailty facilitates better decision-making for treatment plans, patient placement, and discharge planning. Approximately a decade ago, the frailty index based on laboratory tests (FI-Lab) metric was introduced.

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can still occur in patients with chronic hepatitis C after achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR) with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. Therefore, we aimed to identify and validate predictors and HCC risk models using longitudinal data.

Method: This retrospective cohort study included patients who achieved SVR after DAA therapy.
