The main goal of the calibration is to determine, for each drift cell, the minimum time delay for signals relative to the trigger, accounting for the drift velocity within the cell. The accuracy of the calibration procedure is influenced by the random arrival time of the cosmic muons relative to the LHC clock cycle. A more refined analysis of the drift velocity was performed during the offline reconstruction phase, which takes into account this feature of cosmic ray events.

The aim of this study was to explore pain and analgesia after mastectomy with or without PVB during acute inpatient recovery. A retrospective study was conducted in a single hospital providing specialist cancer services in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. We explored pain and concomitant analgesic administration in 80 consecutive women recovering from mastectomy who underwent GA with (n = 40) or without (n = 40) PVB. A pain management index (PMI) was derived to illustrate the efficacy of management from day of surgery (DOS) to postoperative day (POD) 3. Patients who reported no pain progressively increased from DOS (n = 12, 15%) to POD 3 (n = 54, 67.5%). Most patients were administered analgesics as a combination of acetaminophen and a strong opioid on DOS (n = 53, 66.2%), POD 1 (n = 45, 56.2%), POD 2 (n = ...
