Antegrade coeliac axis reconstruction for Chronic Mesenteric Ischaemia : a case series

The management of chronic mesenteric ischaemia remains a compelling challenge for many vascular surgeons. Over the past four decades, several reports have demonstrated encouraging results following revascularisation of the splanchnic arteries. To this date, due to limited numbers, there have been no randomized trials on which we can base our current practise. In this series, we have demonstrated the benefits of a left thoracoabdominal approach for performing an antegrade bypass graft to the coeliac axis, in patients with severe mesenteric angina. Its low complication rate and excellent aortic vessel exposure make it a procedure of choice in expert centres.peer-reviewe

First Results from The GlueX Experiment

The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab ran with its first commissioning beam in late 2014 and the spring of 2015. Data were collected on both plastic and liquid hydrogen targets, and much of the detector has been commissioned. All of the detector systems are now performing at or near design specifications and events are being fully reconstructed, including exclusive production of $\pi^{0}$, $\eta$ and $\omega$ mesons. Linearly-polarized photons were successfully produced through coherent bremsstrahlung and polarization transfer to the $\rho$ has been observed.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, Invited contribution to the Hadron 2015 Conference, Newport News VA, September 201

Measurement of the beam asymmetry Σ for π0 and η photoproduction on the proton at Eγ=9 GeV

We report measurements of the photon beam asymmetry Σ for the reactions γ - p→pπ0 and γ - p→pη from the GlueX experiment using a 9 GeV linearly polarized, tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target in Jefferson Lab's Hall D. The asymmetries, measured as a function of the proton momentum transfer, possess greater precision than previous π0 measurements and are the first η measurements in this energy regime. The results are compared with theoretical predictions based on t-channel, quasiparticle exchange and constrain the axial-vector component of the neutral meson production mechanism in these models
