Reconstructing the weather on Mars at the time of the MERs and Beagle 2 landings by Montabone, L, Lewis, SR, Read, P, Withers, P

“…We reconstruct the temperature, wind and density structure of the atmosphere on Mars from the surface to 120 km altitude at the time of the landing of the two NASA Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), and ESA's "Beagle 2." This reconstruction is based on an assimilation of temperature and dust opacity observations from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft into a general circulation model of the Martian atmosphere and, for the case of the MERs, on retrievals of temperature and density profiles from accelerometer data. …”

Safety evaluation of a buffer used in the lyophilization of canine platelets: type I hypersensitivity reaction in dogs caused by bovine serum albumin by Hee-Jae Choi, Mu-Young Kim, Hyun-Jung Han, Hyun-Jung Han

“…IntroductionThe present study was designed to evaluate the safety of substances generally used in the preparation of lyophilized platelet products (LPPs) because the possibility of an immune response to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was considered high when using previously described technology.MethodsAn intradermal skin test, followed by a drug provocation test, was conducted to observe adverse events and identify the substances responsible for an immune response. Five male beagles (2 years old) weighing 12–14 kg were used. The dogs were clinically healthy and had no history of medication use. …”

Sphingolipids and DHA Improve Cognitive Deficits in Aged Beagle Dogs by Joseph A. Araujo, Sergi Segarra, Jessica Mendes, Andrea Paradis, Melissa Brooks, Sandy Thevarkunnel, Norton W. Milgram

“…This study used a series of neuropsychological tests to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation with a novel lipid extract containing porcine brain-derived sphingolipids (Biosfeen®) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for attenuating cognitive deficits in aged Beagles. Two groups (n = 12), balanced for baseline cognitive test performance, received a daily oral dose of either test supplement, or placebo over a 6-month treatment phase. …”
