    Abstract Monte Carlo simulations of physics processes at particle colliders like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN take up a major fraction of the computational budget. For some simulations, a single data point takes seconds, minutes, or even hours to compute from first principles. Since the necessary number of data points per simulation is on the order of $10^9$ - $10^{12}$, machine learning regressors can be used in place of physics simulators to significantly reduce this computational burden. However, this task requires high-precision regressors that can deliver data with relative errors of less than $1\%$ or even $0.1\%$ over the entire domain of the function. In this paper, we develop optimal training strategies and tune various machine learning regressors to satisfy the high-precision requirement. We leverage symmetry arguments from particle physics to optimize the performance of the regressors. Inspired by ResNets, we design a Deep Neural Network with skip connections that outperform fully connected Deep Neural Networks. We find that at lower dimensions, boosted decision trees far outperform neural networks while at higher dimensions neural networks perform significantly better. We show that these regressors can speed up simulations by a factor of $10^3$ - $10^6$ over the first-principles computations currently used in Monte Carlo simulations. Additionally, using symmetry arguments derived from particle physics, we reduce the number of regressors necessary for each simulation by an order of magnitude. Our work can significantly reduce the training and storage burden of Monte Carlo simulations at current and future collider experiments.

    Abstract The production of pairs of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders provides unique information on the Higgs sector and on the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). Most studies have concentrated on the gluon-fusion production mode which has the largest cross section. However, despite its small production rate, the vector-boson fusion channel can also be relevant since even small modifications of the Higgs couplings to vector bosons induce a striking increase of the cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the Higgs boson pair. In this work we exploit this unique signature to propose a strategy to extract the

    Abstract We propose a novel strategy to constrain the bottom and charm Yukawa couplings by exploiting Large Hadron Collider (LHC) measurements of transverse momentum distributions in Higgs production. Our method does not rely on the reconstruction of exclusive final states or heavy-flavor tagging. Compared to other proposals, it leads to an enhanced sensitivity to the Yukawa couplings due to distortions of the differential Higgs spectra from emissions which either probe quark loops or are associated with quark-initiated production. We derive constraints using data from LHC run I, and we explore the prospects of our method at future LHC runs. Finally, we comment on the possibility of bounding the strange Yukawa coupling.

    Abstract Introduction: Platysmal bands are an unappealing feature of the aging face. Incomplete understanding of anatomy and physiology of platysmal bands has led to a long period of flawed or incomplete treatment. This review aims to elucidate the correct study of platysmal bands along with the most recent surgical treatments.
    Materials and methods: To identify all articles related to the topic of surgical management of platysmal bands, an extensive search was performed on PubMed and Medline databases for all articles related to platysmal bands from 1990 to 2023. The articles were then reviewed by 2 independent reviewers, and all relevant articles were selected. The search was narrowed down to clinical trials and cohort studies.
    Results: 6130 articles were identified, of which 21 articles matched the inclusion criteria and were selected for the study totaling 2331 patients. Different surgical procedures were mentioned. Assessment of results was mostly subjective and done by the surgeon.
    Conclusion: Composite platysma-skin flap repositioning as opposed to wide skin undermining with or without submental incisions is being gradually accepted as a valid approach, with closed platysma myotomy and platysma denervation emerging as effective less invasive surgical modalities. Nevertheless, merits of more extensive procedures involving wide skin undermining and anterior platysma plication must not be lightly forgotten.

    Abstract Background: Volume restoration and enhancement of the gluteal region appearance has become nowadays a popular concern in particular for many women. Several options are available, none however are without complications and side effects. Volume enhancement with soft tissue fillers of the gluteal region is emerging as a highly attractive minimally invasive modality. It has led unfortunately to more unlicensed, nonmedical practitioners administering illicitly injections for buttock augmentation at relatively low costs.
    Materials and methods: To determine safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of mostly used soft-tissue fillers for buttock augmentation, a systematic literature search of PubMed, Medline, and Embase was conducted to identify the mostly used fillers for gluteal augmentation. It was complemented by searching for each of the identified filler material separately to retrieve any missed reports. References of clinical studies and trials, reviews, and consensus reports were reviewed as well for the same objective.
    Results: In the final analysis 12, mostly strongly biased clinical reports providing a low level of evidence, were identified for inclusion in the review. Two studies involved Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), 5 Poly-L-lactic acid, 1 Calcium hydroxyapatite and 4 hyaluronic acid filler injection. No studies were identified involving liquid silicone or Polyacrylamide hydrogel. The little available evidence provided by this review indicates that a specific brand of PMMA in Brazil has a demonstrable relatively good safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness record superior to surgical alloplastic gluteal augmentation or to lipofilling only when injected by experts.
    Conclusion: Gluteal augmentation with soft tissue fillers is not as simple and innocuous as advertised. Serious complications may occur. Moreover, optimal buttock contouring entails not only volume augmentation but also volume removal; thus, volume augmentation with soft tissue fillers may not be ideal. Popularizing this modality must also be approached with great care. Serious complications do occur; they become inevitable when performed illegally by non-specialized, non-authorized, and unscrupulous practitioners in non-accredited facilities. Patients must be warned that adherence to regulations is critical and that only well-trained certified experts practicing legally in accredited facilities can address safely and efficiently their concerns.
