On the Measurement of Solar Neutrino Oscillation Parameters with KamLAND

Abhijit Bandyopadhyay, Sandhya Choubey, Srubabati Goswami et al. · 2003 · arXiv

A new reactor power plant Shika-2, with a power of approximately 4 GW and at a distance of about 88 km from the KamLAND detector is scheduled to start operating in March 2006. We study the impact of the $\barν_e$ flux from this reactor on the sensitivity of the KamLAND experiment to the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We present results on prospective determination of $Δm^2_\odot$ and $\sin^2θ_\odot$ using the combined data from KamLAND and the solar neutrino experiments, including the effect of the Shika-2 contribution to the KamLAND signal and the latest data from the salt enriched ph

Oxidative stress and heart failure

Camelia C. Diaconu · 2019 · Archives of the Balkan Medical Union

Oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of many chronic diseases, including heart failure. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defense. The overproduction of ROS can lead to cellular damage and eventually cellular death. This applies also in patients with chronic heart failure, who present a dramatic increase of oxidative stress associated with a pronounced decrease of the antioxidant defense mechanisms. The components of the antioxidant defense mechanism of myocardial cells are superoxide dismutase (SOD), cat

Case Report: Persistent Hypogammaglobulinemia More Than 10 Years After Rituximab Given Post-HSCT

Fanny Luterbacher, Fanette Bernard, Frédéric Baleydier et al. · 2021 · Frontiers in Immunology

Rituximab (RTX) is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody that targets B cells—from the immature pre-B-cell stage in the bone marrow to mature circulating B cells—while preserving stem cells and plasma cells. It is used to treat autoimmune diseases, hematological malignancies, or complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Its safety profile is acceptable; however, a subset of patients can develop persistent hypogammaglobulinemia and associated severe complications, especially in pediatric populations. We report the unrelated cases of two young men aged 17 and 22, presenting

DNA repair-associated nucleases induce double-strand breaks following sequential exposure to UVA1 and UVB.

Narimichi, Komaki, Suzuki et al. · 2026 · Photochemical & photobiological sciences : Official journal of the European Photochemistry Association and the European Society for Photobiology

Solar UV comprises UVA and UVB; each exerts distinct biological effects, while their combined impact is not yet fully understood. We previously reported that human keratinocytes exposed to UVA1 followed by UVB irradiation exhibited severe…

Imaging of a rare disorder: macrodystrophia lipomatosa

Farhana Ebrahim Suleman, Margaret Kisansa · 2010 · South African Journal of Radiology

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is described as a rare, non-hereditary, congenital condition presenting with localized macrodactyly and a proliferation of mesenchymal elements. There is in particular a marked increase in fibroadipose tissue(1). We describe two cases presenting to our department in a six month period, with a history of disproportionately large limbs since birth. While our first case demonstrated all the typical features of MDL, our second case failed to demonstrate osseous gigantism although the other features of MDL were present. An extensive search of the literature failed t

Building a Science-Driven Business: How National Institutes of Health Funding Enabled an Evidence-Based Approach to Maternal Mental Health Innovation

Jennifer Huberty, Lara Baez, Kelsey McAlister et al. · 2026 · JMIR Formative Research

AbstractThe digital mental health (DMH) industry has grown drastically over the last decade; yet, many DMH products have failed to demonstrate meaningful clinical outcomes, in large part due to lack of scientific evidence. This viewpoint paper highlights an example of how early-stage DMH companies can prioritize science as a strategic advantage. We discuss Moment for Parents, an artificial intelligence–driven maternal mental health app built entirely with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. We illustrate the advantages and cha
