In this issue of Blood, Larocca et al in a large prospective study show that thromboprophylaxis with low-dose aspirin is very effective in previously untreated myeloma patients with a low thromboembolic risk receiving lenalidomide with low-dose dexamethasone.

Higgs Production and Decay in the Little Higgs Model

We analyse the consequences of the little Higgs model for double Higgs boson production at the LHC and for the partial decay width Γ(H → γγ). In particular, we study the sensitivity of these processes in terms of the parameters of the model. We find that a generic prediction is that the partial width Γ(H → γγ) is greatly suppressed with respect to the standard model due to a cancellation betwee...

Effective Factors in Little Leaf Disease on Pistachio Trees

In this survey, effective factors in little leaf disease on trees were studied in different pistachio orchards in Kerman province. Little leaf disease is the most serious disease of pistachio in Iran. Affected trees reduced growth rates. The first symptoms of little leaf disease are those of nutrient deficiency: a slight yellowing and shortening of the needles and reducing of shoot growth. New ...
