    Excessive iron storage in captive omnivores? The case of the coati (Nasua spp.)

    We collated necropsy reports for 13 coatis (Nasua spp.), revealing four cases of moderate and six cases of massive iron deposition in liver tissue. This survey corroborates an earlier report that noted a high frequency of iron deposits in coatis at necropsy. A comparison of the reported natural diet of coatis and the usually fed captive diets revealed that whereas vertebrate products (dog/cat food, prey items) represent the staple diet items for captive individuals, free-ranging coatis only rarely consume vertebrate prey; their natural diet is dominated by wild fruits and invertebrates. This discrepancy should be reflected in high levels of readily available heme iron in captive diets, with little or no heme iron in the natural diets. Therefore, it could be hypothesized that the use of vertebrate products in animals not adapted to such high levels of readily available heme iron could be a cause for dietary iron overload. Further studies on the relevance of excessive iron storage in omnivores/insectivores, and their etiopathology, are indicated

    Observation of WWWWWW Production in pppp Collisions at s\sqrt s =13  TeV with the ATLAS Detector

    International audienceThis Letter reports the observation of WWWWWW production and a measurement of its cross section using 139 fb1^{-1} of proton-proton collision data recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two same-sign leptons (electrons or muons) and at least two jets, as well as events with three charged leptons, are selected. A multivariate technique is then used to discriminate between signal and background events. Events from WWWWWW production are observed with a significance of 8.0 standard deviations, where the expectation is 5.4 standard deviations. The inclusive WWWWWW production cross section is measured to be 820±100(stat)±80(syst)820 \pm 100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 80\,\text{(syst)} fb, approximately 2.6 standard deviations from the predicted cross section of 511±18511 \pm 18 fb calculated at next-to-leading-order QCD and leading-order electroweak accuracy
