Studies of Open Charm and Charmonium Production at LHCb
We present recent results from charmonium and open charm production at the
LHCb experiment at CERN, Geneva. We concentrate on studies for the measurement
of the cross section pp ->JPsi+X in its decay channel with two muons, showing
the agreement of the simulation with the data in few key distributions. We also
show the reconstructed modes of D0->K-pi+, D0 K-pi+pi0, LambdaC+ -> p K-pi+ and
D+ ->Ks0 pi+ and their prospects.Comment: Proceedings to 11th International Workshop on Meson Production,

Systematic review of involuntary hospitalisation and long-term compliance
Introduction
Involuntary hospitalisation denies autonomy and freedom of decision-making and is frequent in psychiatric clinical practice. However, there is still a lack of knowledge of long-term compliance after Involuntary commitment.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review of published studies reporting people compliance after involuntary hospitalisation and people compliance after voluntary admission. Two investigators independently searched PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL up to December 17th, 2021 to identify eligible studies. The study is registered with PROSPERO number CRD42022299437.
Results
Ten independent studies analysing the main indicators of compliance, engagement with services and medication adherence, were included. Three studies show that compliance is worse in people that have been involuntary hospitalised and in the others no association is found. Just two of the ten studies show an association with improved compliance. Outcomes are assessed from the first follow-up appointment after discharge up to 96âmonths.
Conclusions
Although evidences carried out so far are weak, the data do not show a trend of improvements and do not seem to exclude the possibility of worse compliance after compulsory hospitalisation. More appropriate methodologies and reliable assessment are needed in future research to provide scientific evidence on involuntary admission health effects

Correction: Diuretic dose trajectories in dilated cardiomyopathy: prognostic implications
Within the abstract, the following phrase in the âMethodsâ section âAccording to FED trajectory, patients were classified as (i) dose (FED increase by â„ 50% or newly initiated);â was corrected to read âAccording to FED trajectory, patients were classified as (i) dose â (FED increase by â„ 50% or newly initiated);â. In the âResultsâ section of the abstract, the sentence âBaseline FED was independently associated with outcome (HR per 20 mg increase: 1.12 [95% CI 1.04â1.22, p = 0.003].â was corrected to âBaseline FED was independently associated with outcome (HR per 20 mg increase: 1.12 [95% CI 1.04â1.22], p = 0.003).â Finally, in Table 1, the LVEF, % for Doseâ patients was given incorrectly whenit should have been â28 (22-34)â and the N value has been corrected from â263â to â282â.

Right fronto-parietal white matter disruption contributes to speech impairments in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
INTRODUCTION
Non-linguistic properties of speech are widely heterogeneous and require complex neurological integration. The association between white matter integrity and the severity of dysarthria was investigated in a group of patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
METHODS
Thirty-six patients diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis completed a magnetic resonance imaging protocol inclusive of diffusion-weighted images. A clinical assessment of pneumo-phono-articulatory abilities was conducted for each patient, and a composite score of residual speech capacity was calculated. Tract-Based Spatial Statistics was carried out to model the potential association between residual speech capacity and microstructural properties of white matter (fractional anisotropy, mean and radial diffusivity).
RESULTS
A significant negative association was found between residual speech capacity and mean diffusivity in a large white matter cluster located in frontal, parietal and right temporal regions. These subcortical areas were characterised by pathological microstructural disruption, as revealed bypost hoc analyses.
CONCLUSIONS
Non-linguistic aspects of speech are associated with microstructural integrity of frontal, parietal and right temporal white matter in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Such mapping is consistent with the centres responsible of volitional control of speech and sensory feedback during non-linguistic speech production
