Becoming an oral-maxillofacial surgeon is often challenging for young trainees. The purpose of this manuscript is to explore how a student-led group, which emphasizes networking, mentorship, and ...academic opportunities, may impact one's journey to becoming an oral-maxillofacial surgeon.
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study where a 5-question Likert-type survey was administered to students who matriculated into residency and participated in a student-led group called Passing The Scalpel (PTS). This survey evaluated the value of PTS in providing exposure, career decision-making, networking/mentorship, and camaraderie. The results were analyzed, and statistical outcomes were evaluated.
There was an 80.5% response rate (n = 29). Question 1 regarding first exposure to oral-maxillofacial surgery had a mean score of 2.55 (standard deviation SD = 1.35; χ2 = 15.39; P < .05). Question 2 regarding choosing oral-maxillofacial surgery as a career had a mean score of 3.66 (SD = 1.11; χ2 = 10.84; P < .05). Question 3 regarding offering mentorship and networking had a mean score of 4.14 (SD = 0.92; χ2 = 27.81; P < .05). Question 4 regarding increasing applicant camaraderie had a mean score of 4.21 (SD = 0.77; χ2 = 36.71; P < .05). Question 5 regarding the importance of PTS within a dental curriculum had a score of 4.48 (SD = 0.68; χ2 = 41.89; P < .05).
PTS is an effective student-led initiative that emphasizes early exposure, networking, and mentorship opportunities and encourages students in choosing oral-maxillofacial surgery as a specialty. PTS demonstrates that student-led initiatives can fulfill unmet needs in the dental curriculum.

LHCb is one of the experiments for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and is dedicated to B-physics and CP-violation measurements. To exploit its physics potential good tracking performance with high ...efficiency in a high particle density environment close to the beam pipe is required. Silicon strip detectors with large read-out pitch and long strips will be used for the LHCb Inner Tracker behind the magnet and the Trigger Tracker station in front of the magnet. We report here about the design of the Silicon Tracker, test beam results and the electrical tests foreseen during production

LHCb is a dedicated B-physics and CP-violation experiment for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Efficient track reconstruction and excellent trigger performances are essential in order to exploit ...fully its physics potential. Silicon strip detectors providing fast signal generation, high resolution and fine granularity are used for this purpose in the large area Trigger Tracker station in front of the spectrometer magnet and the LHCb Inner Tracker covering the area close to the beam pipe behind the magnet. Long read-out strips of up to 38
cm are used together with fast signal shaping adapted to the 25
ns LHC bunch crossing. The design of these tracking stations, the silicon sensor strip geometries and the latest test results are presented here.
Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the semileptonic decays inline image and inline image are detected. Two structures are ...observed in the D super(0)K super(+) mass spectrum at masses consistent with the known D sub(s1(2536))u+ and inline image mesons. The measured branching fractions relative to the total inline image semileptonic rate are inline image, and inline image, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first observation of the inline image state in inline image decays; we also measure its mass and width.
The production of inline imageinline image mesons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 0.9 TeV is studied with the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The luminosity of the analysed ...sample is determined using a novel technique, involving measurements of the beam currents, sizes and positions, and is found to be 6.8+/-1.0 microbsuper-1. The differential prompt inline imageinline image production cross-section is measured as a function of the inline imageinline image transverse momentum and rapidity in the region 0p sub(T1.6 GeV/c and 2.5y4.0. The data are found to be in reasonable agreement with previous measurements and generator expectations.)
