Rare Decays as Window to New Physics
Rare decays of K mesons are reviewed from the perspective of testing the " ones " and " zeros " of the standard model. Decays K + → π + νν and K L → π 0 νν probe the one-loop effective Hamiltonian for s → dνν, and can constrain the ρ, η coordinates of the unitarity triangle. − involve short-distance effects, as well as long-distance photon-induced contributions. Some comments are added on curio...
متن کاملThe iris – a window into the genetics of common and rare eye diseases
Visual examination, without instruments, of the eye allows inspection of the iris, sclera, cornea and, through the iris, some abnormalities of the lens and retina. Several hereditary disorders can easily be recognised by characteristic iris changes. This review discusses changes in the iris, visible lens anomalies, and changes in the cornea surrounding the iris. A genetic diagnosis can help wit...

Kidney and eye are inextricably linked in many diseases, both common and esoteric. Furthermore, patients with renal disease may require specific ophthalmic management. The best example in the developed world of the frequent need for clinical input from both specialties is in the care of diabetic patients who may develop nephropathy and retinopathy. Both of these complications may be asymptomati...
متن کاملThe eye: a window on kidney diseases
Ocular involvement, which causes significant morbid lesions of the eyes, induces obvious, perceptible symptoms for patients and can serve as a useful indicator of underlying systemic diseases. Systemic processes can affect almost any part of the eye and visual pathway. Ocular pain and visual impairment require urgent assessment by an ophthalmologist. Early recognition and treatment of both the ...
متن کاملENDOCRINE DISRUPTION: Developmental Picture Window
Smoking Bans Yield Long-Term Benefits When it comes to linking cigarette smoke to heart attacks, one might assume that such a link would apply only as long as one is smoking or being exposed to secondhand smoke. That’s not necessarily true, however, at least according to a follow-up study of people living in and around Pueblo, Colorado. In the 2 January 2009 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Wee...
