Methods: This was a systematic review of studies evaluati... Read More about First-trimester ultrasound detection of fetal heart anomalies: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Differential price responses for tobacco consumption: implications for tax incidence (2022)
Journal Article

Increasing tobacco taxes is considered the most effective an cost-effective policy to reduce tobacco consumption. However, a common objection to tobacco taxes is that they tend to rely disproportionately on the poorest individuals since less affluent...

Ammonia in the interstellar medium of a starbursting disc at z = 2.6 (2022)
Journal Article

We report the detection of the ground state rotational emission of ammonia, ortho-NH3 (JK = 10 → 00) in a gravitationally lensed intrinsically hyperluminous star-bursting galaxy at z = 2.6. The integrated line profile is consistent with other molecul... Read More about Ammonia in the interstellar medium of a starbursting disc at z = 2.6.
