Abstract
We assess the impact of the very recent measurement of the top-quark mass by the CMS Collaboration on the fit of electroweak data in the standard model and beyond, with particular emphasis on the prediction for the mass of the W boson. We then compare this prediction with the average of the corresponding experimental measurements including the new measurement by the CDF Collaboration, and discuss its compatibility in the standard model, in new physics models with oblique corrections, and in the dimension-six standard model effective field theory. Finally, we present the updated global fit to electroweak precision data in these models.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In the last decade Portugal has seen a decrease of about 40% in the notification and incidence rate of tuberculosis, with incidence values below 20/100,000 inhabitants since 2015. In 2018, a notification rate estimated at a national level was 16,6/100,000 inhabitants and an incidence rate of 16.4/100,000 inhabitants. With this investigation we intend to I) determine the notification and incidence rate of tuberculosis at the Public Health Unit (PHU) of Santa Maria da Feira and Arouca (Portugal); II) analyze the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.
Methods
The confirmed cases of tuberculosis between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019 were analyzed.
Results
105 cases of tuberculosis were identified, most of them male (67%), aged between the 1 year and 94 years age (median: 52 years). About ⅓ of the patients were retired. Among the co-morbidities that constitute a risk for tuberculosis, we highlight COPD (7.6%), alcohol abuse (5.7%) and HIV (3.8%). The pulmonary location prevailed (81.9%). We emphasize that 52 cases had positive smear microscopy and 42 cases cavitation. From 2017 to 2019 we have a median of 61 days from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis. From 2015 to 2019, 4 cases with poly-resistance to isoniazid and streptomycin were identified. In 2019, the incidence rate tuberculosis was 12.5/100,000 inhabitants and the notification rate of 16.3/100,000 inhabitants.
Conclusions
The incidence and notification rate like the median between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis, by the public health unit (PHU), are below the national average. Regarding these results, we recommend that the strategy adopted by the PHU should be maintained.
Key messages
In the last decade Portugal has seen a decrease of about 40% in the notification and incidence rate of tuberculosis, with incidence values below 20/100,000 inhabitants since 2015. In 2019, the incidence rate tuberculosis at PHU was 12.5/100,000 inhabitants and the notification rate of 16.3/100,000 inhabitants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) has not been well documented. The objective of the present study was to analyze the outcome of tumors treated with ADT as primary therapy in the Spanish Prostate Cancer Registry (19.4% of the series). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were classified in three groups: 1) with low/intermediate risk clinically localized tumors; 2) with high risk and locally advanced (T3-4) tumors; 3) with metastatic tumors. Time to castration resistance and overall cancer-specific survival were analyzed. In non-metastatic tumors, survivals in patients treated with ADT were compared with data from patients who underwent local treatments from the Spanish Prostate Cancer Registry. RESULTS 703 cases were analyzed. There were significant differences in the time to castration resistance, which was lower in the group of metastatic tumors. During follow-up, there were 179 deaths (25.5%) of which 89 (12.6%) were due to PCa. After 3 years of ADT, only 14.6% of patients in group 1 had died (1% due to PCa), 20.5% in group 2 and 46.8% in group 3 (9.2% and 31.3% due to PCa, respectively). Cancer-specific survival was significantly worse in group 1 using ADT than radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. In high-risk and locally advanced tumors, ADT also had a lower cancer-specific survival than local treatments. CONCLUSION A longer time until the castration resistance was observed in patients with well- and intermediate-risk localized tumors treated with ADT. Patients with metastatic tumors showed the shortest time to castration resistance.

Abstract
We present total rates and kinematic distributions for the associated production of a single bottom quark and a Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hardon Collider. We include next-to-leading order QCD corrections and compare the results obtained in the four and five flavor number schemes for parton distribution functions.

Abstract
We compute the Omicron(alpha(3)(s)) inclusive total cross section for the process pp macr0 -->tt macro h in the standard model, at the square root of s(H) = 2 TeV. The next-to-leading order corrections drastically reduce the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of the Born cross section and slightly decrease the total cross section for renormalization and factorization scales between m(t) and 2m(t).

Molecular analysis of lineage-specific chimerism and minimal residual disease by RT-PCR of p210(BCR-ABL) and p190(BCR-ABL) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia: increasing mixed myeloid chimerism and p190(BCR-ABL) detection precede cytogenetic relapse.

Abstract
We studied lineage-specific chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) in sequential posttransplant samples from 55 patients who underwent unmanipulated (n = 44) or partially T-cell-depleted (n = 11) allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Chimerism was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (VNTR [variable number of tandem repeats]-PCR) analysis in highly purified CD19+, CD3+, CD15+, and CD56+ cell fractions, whereas MRD was investigated in whole blood by reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) of both p210(BCR-ABL) and p190(BCR-ABL) hybrid transcripts. Of 55 patients, 14 (including 6 T-cell-depleted patients) had cytogenetic relapse at 5-80 months and progressed to hematologic relapse, while 41 patients remained in prolonged cytogenetic remission 12-107 months post-BMT. Before leukemia recurrence, patients in the relapse group showed a consistent evolution pattern sequentially featured by persistent p210(BCR-ABL) positivity, increasing mixed chimerism (MC) in myeloid cells, p190(BCR-ABL) positivity, and, finally, cytogenetic relapse. Myeloid MC preceded cytogenetic relapse by 2-12 months, whereas p190(BCR/ABL) was detected 1-6 months prior to cytogenetic relapse in 11 patients and concomitant with cytogenetic relapse in 3 patients. In the remission group, all patients invariably tested negative for p190(BCR-ABL); 10 patients tested positive for p210(BCR-ABL) at variable time-points but showed persistent full donor chimerism (DC), whereas 31 patients tested p210(BCR-ABL) negative and displayed full DC or transient MC due to the persistence of recipient T cells. Two patients in the relapse group were successfully reinduced into molecular remission with donor lymphocyte infusion. Sequential molecular analysis after such treatment showed the inverse pattern to that observed prior to relapse, ie, progressive disappearance of p190(BCR-ABL) transcripts, conversion of myeloid chimerism to donor type, and, finally, p210(BCR-ABL) negativity. We conclude that lineage-specific chimerism and p190(BCR-ABL) messenger RNA (mRNA) analyses contribute a better characterization of CML evolution after BMT and enable early identification of patients at the highest risk of relapse.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic disposition of buflomedil was compared in humans after oral administration of solution, tablets and film tablets. Six healthy male volunteers received a single oral dose of the three different dosage formulations. Blood and urine samples were taken before dosing and at selected times over 24 h and 72 h, resp., after dosing. The concentration of the drug in samples was measured by gas-chromatography with nitrogen detector. The absorption of buflomedil was faster after solution administration, while other plasma parameters did not show any major differences. Also the amount of drug excreted in urines was higher with solution dosing.
