A search for the decays of the Higgs and Z bosons to a φ meson and a photon is performed with a pp collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb-1 collected at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No significant excess of events is observed above the background, and 95% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions of the Higgs and Z boson decays to φ

Searches for new resonances decaying into two photons in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are described. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1 at s=13 TeV recorded in 2015. Two searches are performed, one targeted at a spin-2 particle of mass larger than 500 GeV, using Randall-Sundrum graviton states as a b

Searches for exclusively produced W boson pairs in the process pp(γγ)→pW+W-p and an exclusively produced Higgs boson in the process pp(gg)→pHp have been performed using e±μ final states. These measurements use 20.2 fb-1 of pp collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment at a center-of-mass energy s=8 TeV at the LHC. Exclusive production of W+W- consistent with the Standard Model prediction is foun

Measurements of the anisotropic flow coefficients v2{Ψ2},v3{Ψ3},v4{Ψ4}, and v4{Ψ2} for identified particles (π±,K±, and p+p) at midrapidity, obtained relative to the event planes Ψm at forward rapidities in Au + Au collisions at sNN=200GeV, are presented as a function of collision centrality and particle transverse momenta pT. The vn coefficients show characteristic patterns consistent with hydrod

Three- and four-pion Bose-Einstein correlations are presented in pp,p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. We compare our measured four-pion correlations to the expectation derived from two- and three-pion measurements. Such a comparison provides a method to search for coherent pion emission. We also present mixed-charge correlations in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of several analysis pr

We hypothesized that in a normal healthy population changes in several ECG parameters together might reliably characterize the functional age of the heart. Data from 377 healthy subjects (209 men, 168 women, aged 4 to 75 years) were included in the study. In all subjects, ECG recordings (resting 5-minute 12-lead high fidelity ECG) were evaluated via custom software programs to calculate up to 120

Background: Lund is one of the two tertiary referral centers for pediatric cardiac surgery in Sweden, with nearly 350 surgical procedures every year. We performed a retrospective analysis of newborns and infants with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) operated with arterial switch (ASO) during the past 10 years. Methods: a single-institution retrospective analysis of nearly 100 newborns and

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery remains associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity in both pediatric and adult patients but the mechanisms are not fully clarified. Abnormalities in coronary flow and function have beensuggested to play an important role. A few prior studies suggested protective effects on coronary and myocardial function by short intravenous (i.v.) infu

Introduction: It has traditionally been believed that early repolarization (ER) is benign. Significant association between ER and sudden cardiac arrest due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation was recently found in a large cohort of adult survivors of sudden cardiac arrest. In some prior studies, unexplained syncope has been linked to risk of sudden death, but the mechanisms remain speculative.W

Background: Although transposition of the great arteries (TGA) accounts for less than 5% of congenital heart disease, the clinical course is often dramatic with need for early diagnosis and careful preoperative care as well as advanced surgical correction and postoperative support. Since 1993, Lund is one of the two tertiary referral centers for pediatric cardiac surgery in Sweden, with nearly 400

Objectives: Endothelial cells of coronary arteries undergo apoptosis in patients with coronary artery disease. Carotid artery ultrasound studies show that after acute infections intima media thickness is increased. The possible effects of infections on endothelial cell apoptosis and the presence of apoptosis in early life remain unknown. Methods: Chlamydia pneumonia was inoculated three times at t

A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson with the decay H→ττ is presented. The data correspond to 20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data agree with the background expectation, and 95% confidence-level upper limits are placed on the cross section of t

Introduction: Four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables kinetic energy (KE) quantification of intraventricular blood flow. In this study we aimed to quantify the KE in in patients with univentricular heart and to assess the change in the KE after different types of interventions. Methods: 4D flow MRI was acquired in patients with Fontan circulation (n=12; median age 12, r

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common monogenic cardiac disorder and the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the young. Although in a majority of HCM cases there are gene mutations coding for sarcomere proteins, the onset for the clinical consequences of these mutations are difficult to predict, as these mutations do not show any clear relationship to the degree of

This paper presents measurements of W±Z production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The gauge bosons are reconstructed using their leptonic decay modes into electrons and muons. The data were collected in 2012 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1. The measured inclusive cross section in the detector fiduci
