Multiple Renal Arteries in Kidney Transplantation: Is it a Problem Nowadays?
Carvalho, Joao; Nunes, Pedro; Parada, Belmiro; Tavares-da-Silva, Edgar; Antunes, Hugo; Roseiro, António; Ferreira, Carlos; Figueiredo, ArnaldoIntroduction: Shortage of high quality donors led to an increasing need of compatible organs: grafts with multiple renal arteries (MRA) are one of the solutions, although being a potential risk factor that can impair outcomes. The aim of this study is to provide a view of our experience with multiple renal arteries grafts in renal transplantation and compare the outcome between multiple renal arteries and singl...

Measurement of jet fragmentation in 5.02 TeV proton-lead and proton-proton coll...
ATLAS collaboration (2849 authors); Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio; Amor Dos Santos, Susana Patricia; Anjos, Nuno; Araque Espinosa, Juan PedroA measurement of the fragmentation functions of jets into charged particles in $p$+Pb collisions and $pp$ collisions is presented. The analysis utilizes 28 nb$^{-1}$ of $p$+Pb data and 26 pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ data, both at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV, collected in 2013 and 2015, respectively, with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurement is reported in the centre-of-mass frame of the nucleon-nucleon sy...
