Search for the rare decay B-0 ->tau(+)tau(-) at BABAR
We present the results of a search for the decay B-0 ->tau(+)tau(-) in a data sample of (232 +/- 3)x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-> BB decays using the BABAR detector. Certain extensions of the standard model predict measurable levels of this otherwise rare decay. We reconstruct fully one neutral B meson and seek evidence for the signal decay in the rest of the event. We find no evidence for signal events and obtain B(B-0 ->tau(+)tau(-))< 4.1x10(-3) at the 90% confidence level
IDEAL timing of renal replacement therapy in critical care
The IDEAL-ICU study reports no mortality benefit of early versus delayed initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with early septic shock and acute kidney injury. In the delayed initiation group, 17% of patients required emergency RRT but more than one-third spontaneously recovered renal function and did not require RRT
