Chemical freeze-out parameters in Beam Energy Scan Program of STAR at RHIC
The STAR experiment at RHIC has completed its first phase of the Beam Energy
Scan (BES-I) program to understand the phase structure of the quantum
chromodynamics (QCD). The bulk properties of the system formed in Au+Au
collisions at different center of mass energy 7.7, 11.5,
19.6, 27, and 39 GeV have been studied from the data collected in the year 2010
and 2011. The centrality and energy dependence of mid-rapidity ( < 0.1)
particle yields, and ratios are presented here. The chemical freeze-out
parameters are extracted using measured particle ratios within the framework of
a statistical model.Comment: 6 pages, 9 figures, presented at the International Symposium on

Primary ovarian pregnancy with intrauterine contraceptive device
Primary ovarian pregnancy is a rare variant of extra-uterine pregnancies. However the cause for primary ovarian pregnancy is still obscure. Some studies have reported a strong correlation of this condition with intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD). The diagnosis of ovarian ectopic pregnancy is seldom made before surgery though ultrasound proves to be an invaluable tool for its diagnosis. We describe here about a case of primary ovarian pregnancy which was diagnosed only at the time of operation and was managed with wedge resection of the ovary
Diagnostic orientation values for ACTH and other parameters for clinically healthy donkeys and mules (insulin, triglycerides, glucose, fructosamines, and ɣ‐GT)
Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction is the most prevalent endocrine disease in horses. Although donkeys and mules may also be affected, only a few data have been published. Reference values for diagnostic parameters, such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), are especially scarce or even lacking. Therefore, in the present study, available data from the literature have been verified and completed to facilitate a reliable diagnosis. Clinical inspections and haematological and biochemical examinations were carried out four times in a three‐month interval (February to November) in 44 donkeys and 31 mules. Data from clinically healthy animals were used as an orientation. Plasma ACTH concentrations showed seasonal changes in both animal groups. However, it was generally higher in donkeys than mules. Although blood glucose (EDTA plasma) showed no difference between groups, serum insulin concentrations were consistently higher in donkeys. Serum fructosamine levels were slightly higher in mules, whereas, in some cases, serum triglyceride levels were considerably higher in donkeys. Serum gamma‐glutamyltransferase showed a striking peak in mules in August, whereas the remaining gamma‐glutamyltransferase values were lower compared to donkeys. By comparing donkeys and mules, the present work reveals differences in various blood parameters which should be considered for diagnoses and future studies
