Flavor - singlet hybrid baryons may already have been discovered

The splittings between the spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 iso-singlet baryons Λs(1405) and Λs(1520), and their charmed counterparts Λc(2593) and Λc(2625), have been a theoretical conundrum. Here we investigate the possibility that the QCD binding of color octets comprised of three quarks in a flavor singlet configuration is stronger than previously envisaged, allowing these states to be interpreted as h...

Commentary: what might have been: Sullivan may have impacted modern prenatal alcohol research under different circumstances.

William Sullivan’s 1899 paper, ‘A Note on the Influence of Maternal Inebriety on the Offspring’, often cited as a precursor to modern fetal alcohol research, was published at a time when alcoholism was a topic of great interest in Europe and North America. Emerging theories of heredity, eugenics and temperance movements drove alcoholism research from 1860 to 1910. In addition to an upsurge of m...

Has aging ever been considered healthy?

The current research topic inquires: “Should we treat aging as a disease?” Yet, in this inquiry, the question “Can aging be considered a disease?” is secondary, while the more primary question really must be “Is aging treatable?” Paradoxically, the answer given to the second question largely determines the answer to the first. The perceived unchangeable, and hence untreatable, nature of aging i...

Hypothermia should also have been considered to be a predictor of adverse perioperative cardiac events.

LMA-PTM. It is not a single-use LMA-PTM because substantial details are designed and constructed in a different way to overcome weaknesses of other LMAsTM, as the producers of the LMA-STM promote their device. The LMA-STM’s clinical performance can only be evaluated in clinical trials. First published comparisons with a reasonable sample size between the LMA-PTM and LMA-STM showed clinically im...
