description: Peripheral nerve block performed using electrical stimulation (i.e. electrolocation) is widely used for perioperative pain management during several surgical procedures in dog (Campoy 2008), but few data are reported concerning its application to invasive maxillofacial surgery (Carotenuto et al 2011). The aim of this case series is to evaluate the efficacy of proximal mandibular nerve block (PMNB) in perioperative pain management in dogs undergoing mandibulectomy. 10 dogs were premedicated with intramuscular acepromazine maleate (0.02 mg/kg); after induction to general anaesthesia, bilateral PMNB was performed with ropivacaine 0.75% (2 mg/kg). Whenever intraoperative nociception occurred, i.e. an acute increase of heart rate and blood pressure over 20% of the baseline value, intravenous rescue analgesia was provided (fentanyl 3 mg/kg). Carprofen was administered subcutaneously as a sole postoperative treatment (3 mg/kg) and postoperative analgesia was assessed for at least 24 hr by a blind operator accordingly to the Glasgow composite pain scale (Reid et al 2007). When the pain score overcame a threshold of 5/24, intravenous rescue analgesia was administered (methadone, 0.2 mg/kg). In 8 out of 10 dogs no intraoperative nociception was shown, while in 2 dogs a single intravenous fentanyl administration was sufficient to provide additional analgesia. No acute and medium term complications were shown and postoperative analgesia lasted for 20.5±6.1 hr. PMNB appears than to provide effective perioperative long-lasting analgesia leading to a reduction in intra- and postoperative drug administration.

description: Cefazolin, a first generation cephalosporin, is commonly used in small animal surgery to avoid post-operative infections. The aims of the study were 1) assess cefazolin pharmacokinetics (PK) in dogs undergoing gonadectomy, 2) correlate PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) parameters and 3) attest the efficacy of dosage regimen through a PK/PD approach. Thirty minutes before surgery, 25 mg/kg of cefazolin were administrated intravenously (IV) to 9 dogs (weight 22±7.5 kg; age 1.3±0.7 years). Blood samples were taken at prefixed times from 0 to 8 h. Quantification of cefazolin concentrations was performed through a validate HPLC method with UV detection (Kunicki, 2012). A two-compartmental model best described the PK profile of cefazolin. Literature MIC50 against canine Pasteurella spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. ranged from 0.25 to 0.5 µg/mL (Goldstein, 2012). Distribution and elimination half-lives were 0.3 ± 0.2 h and 3 ± 1.6 h, respectively; area under the curve was 182.3±50.6 h*µg/mL; volume of distribution and clearance at steady state were 383.5±58.1 mL/kg and 150.2±49.8 mL/h/kg, respectively. The PK/PD index for cephalosporins efficacy is time above MIC (T>MIC) for 60% of dosing interval with values 4 times higher the MIC50. Our values of T>MIC, calculated with MIC 0.5 mg/mL, was for 100 % of the observation period from 2 to 6 times higher than MIC. Preliminary results showed a good efficacy of cefazolin against all the bacterial strains evaluated. Therefore, a dosage regimen of 25 mg/kg IV every 8h might represent a valid tool in order to prevent surgical infections in small animal practice.

Year: 2016
Subjects: Dog, Mitral valve disease (MVD), chronic heart failure (CHF), serum iron deficiency (SID), TIBC

description: In people, serum iron (SI) deficiency (SID) is a frequent co-morbidity in chronic heart failure (CHF), reducing quality of life and survival (Belmar Vega L, 2016).

Mitral valve disease (MVD), the most common canine acquired heart disease, lead to CHF. (Borgarelli, 2012).

Aims of the study were determine prevalence and characteristics of SID (SI < 90 µg/dL) in MVD dogs, analyze differences in SI among ACVIM classes, symptomatic and non-symptomatic patients, and study effects on survival.

Fifty-four privately owned MVD dogs (DIMEVET, January 2015 - April 2016) with complete physical evaluation, chest x-ray, echocardiography and serum biochemical panel were included.

Iron status was evaluated measuring SI, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and percentage transferrin saturation (%SAT).

Median age of dogs was 11 years (IQR 10 - 14), median body weight 11 kg (IQR 6 – 22).

Most were intact males (42%) mongrels (46%). Non-symptomatic and symptomatic dogs were 64% (n=36) and 33% (n=18).

The prevalence of SID was 18.5 % (10/54:  6 symptomatic and 4 non-symptomatic). Only 3 patients (6%) presented anemia (Hct ≤ 37%).

TIBC (NV: 270-496 μg/dL) was within or above the reference range in 6/10 dogs with SID, while %SAT (NV: > 23%) was below the minimum level in 4/10 dogs.

No differences in SI were found between ACVIM classes, symptomatic and non-symptomatic patients. Log-rank analysis showed significant shorter survival in MVD dogs with SID (p: 0.030), nevertheless multivariate Cox analysis revealed that only the presence of CHF symptoms affect survival (p: 0.001).

TIBC and %SAT suggest that SID is most frequently true (primary) than functional (secondary).

Year: 2016
Subjects: mammary gland; mastitis; mRNA expression; cytokine; innate immune response; ex vivo

description: Mastitis is the major concern for the dairy industry. Intramammary infections cause a complex signaling network that activates the innate immune response, leading to inﬂammation symptoms. Several types of cells, including endothelial cells, epithelial cells, resident macrophages and other leucocytes, are involved in the immune response. Therefore we aimed to set up an ex vivo model of the mammary gland, where the three-dimensional structure is maintained, assuming that the results were more comparable to the in vivo response. Two mm3 -sections were taken from the mammary gland of a heifer after slaughter and then incubated with either S. aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA) or with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 1, 3, 6, and 18h. These molecules are constituent of the cell walls of Gram-positive or -negative bacteria, respectively, and are applied as an inflammatory stimulus in the research of mastitis pathogenesis. Quantitative real-time PCR was applied to quantify  the mRNA expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8 (Griesbeck-Zilch 2008), Pentraxin 3 (PTX3; Lutzow, 2008), lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP) (Günther, 2010;) and of interleukin-1 receptor 8 (IL1-R8; Riva, 2012) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4; Ibeagha-Awemu, 2008). These molecules have been chosen as key factors of the innate immune response. Preliminary results showed that In LPS-treated cells, cytokine mRNA expression increased between 1-3h, while TLR4, PTX3 and IL1-R8 peaked at 3h and then decreased. LAP displayed a different pattern, with the highest values at 3h, slightly increasing up to 18h observation. These data suggest that such ex vivo model could be a valid approach to study the mammary immune response to bacteria.

Machine Learning the Nature of Dark Matter with 21cm Tomography

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: We present forecasts on the detectability of Ultra-light axion-like particles (ULAP) from future 21cm radio observations around the epoch of reionization (EoR). We show that the axion as the dominant dark matter component has a significant impact on the reionization history due to the suppression of small scale density perturbations in the early universe. This behavior depends strongly on the mass of the axion particle.
 Using numerical simulations of the brightness temperature field of neutral hydrogen over a large redshift range, we construct a suite of training data. This data is used to train a convolutional neural network that can build a connection between the spatial structures of the brightness temperature field and the input axion mass directly. We construct mock observations of the future Square Kilometer Array survey, SKA1-Low, and find that even in the presence of realistic noise and resolution constraints, the network is still able to predict the input axion mass. We find that the axion mass can be recovered over a wide mass range with a precision of approximately 20\%, and as the whole DM contribution, the axion can be detected using SKA1-Low at 68\% if the axion mass is MX<1.86×10−20eV although this can decrease to MX<5.25×10−21eV if we relax our assumptions on the astrophysical modeling by treating those astrophysical parameters as nuisance parameters.

description: Abstract:

The speed of light (c) is a fundamental constant in Einstein’s relativity, governing spacetime structure and the laws of physics. However, theories of quantum gravity, extra-dimensional physics, and modified relativity frameworks suggest that the speed of light may not be truly invariant at all scales, particularly in the early universe or near extreme gravitational fields. The Variable Speed of Light (VSL) hypothesis challenges conventional physics by proposing that c evolves over time or in different energy regimes, offering alternative explanations for cosmic inflation, horizon problems, and gravitational singularities.

This paper explores the VSL hypothesis within a quantum gravity framework, analyzing potential modifications to Einstein’s field equations, Maxwell’s electrodynamics, and cosmological expansion models. We examine whether loop quantum gravity (LQG), string theory, and holographic principles naturally allow for variations in c and assess the observational consequences for gravitational waves, cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, and high-energy cosmic rays.

Key Highlights:

Reviewing classical physics assumptions about the invariance of the speed of light.

Theoretical motivations for a variable speed of light from quantum gravity and modified relativity models.

Implications for early-universe cosmology, including solutions to the horizon and flatness problems.

Observational constraints from gravitational waves, CMB anisotropies, and high-energy astrophysics.

Experimental tests using next-generation cosmological and quantum optics experiments.

By merging insights from quantum gravity, cosmology, and observational astrophysics, this work provides a modern reassessment of VSL theories, exploring their potential for reconciling fundamental physics with observational data.

Keywords: Variable speed of light, quantum gravity, loop quantum gravity, modified relativity, string theory, cosmic inflation, horizon problem, gravitational waves, fundamental constants, observational cosmology.

description: The Paranal Observatory is the host of VLT/VLTI, a world-class telescope that contains systems with different maturity levels. In the middle term Paranal will operate ELT and CTA. We are exploring new techniques to deal with this increasing complexity. A good part of system behavior is well captured by software logs, and several techniques brought from academic literature and as industry practices have been implemented as tools for system monitoring, error profiling, anomaly detection, and process discovery among others. Also, several prototypes have been made using ML and natural language processing techniques with the aid of Paranal DATALAB, a Docker-based data warehouse that provides years of historical data. This work shows the result of our experience and identifies key challenges for the adoption of log analysis techniques in the operation of other astronomical facilities.

description: The study was intended to achieve
      covalent fixation of self-assembled monolayers on metal oxide
      surfaces, in particular rutile titanium dioxide and zinc
      oxide (ZnO), and to distinguish the microscopic character of
      their linkage.The results obtained confirm the importance of
      a detailed, comprehensive analysis of such experiments. The
      main achievement of this work is a very profound
      investigation of the influence of preparation pathways as
      well as stru cture of supporting substrates on the resulting
      thin film quality and stability. Many essential issues
      crucial for the attachment of PA-based SAMs on metal oxide
      surfaces were addressed for the first time in this work.
      Obtained results reveal possibilities for further
      investigations of some phenomena.

      Charakterisierung der mikroskopischen Eigenschaften dieser
      Bindung. Diese Thesis fasst Erkenntnisse experimenteller
      Untersuchungen über die Formation von SAMs auf
      Oxidoberflächen zusammen. Die gesammelten Ergebnisse
      bestätigen die Wichtigkeit einer detaillierten, umfassenden
      Analyse der Experimente. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist eine

      -stablität. Viele zentrale Faktoren, die für die Anlagerung
      von PA-basierten SAMs auf Metalloxidoberflächen notwendig
      sind, werden in dieser Arbeit erstmalig untersucht. Die
      Ergebnisse eröffnen neue Möglichkeiten um einige Phänomene

 Now Galerida malabarica superflua Hartert, 1897. See Peters, 1960a: 62, and Keith et al., 1992: 103.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 558127, adult male, collected at El Kantara, 35°13′N, 05°40′E (Times Atlas), Algeria, on 2 March 1909, by Walter Rothschild, Ernst Hartert, and Carl Hilgert (no. 42). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: The field no. 42 was cited in the original description. Rothschild and Hartert (1912a: 492, 494) stated that they had at least 50 specimens collected at various localities by their expedition or by Flückiger. Thirty­eight of these specimens, excluding the type, collected before 1912, came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. These paratypes are AMNH 558112, 558113, 558122, 558125, 558126, 558128–558137, 558139–558154, and 558158– 558164.
 Peters (1960a: 62) and Cramp (1988: 163) treated superflua as a subspecies of Galerida theklae. Sibley and Monroe (1990: 655) treated malabarica and theklae as species in the superspecies malabarica.

description: The rapid advancements of technology related to the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems mark an ongoing industrial revolution. Digital Twins and Augmented Reality play a significant role in this technological advancement. They are highly complementary concepts enabling the representation of physical assets in the digital space (Digital Twin) and the augmentation of physical space with digital information (Augmented Reality). Throughout the last few years, research has picked up on this and explored the possibilities of combining DT and AR. However, cybersecurity scholars have not yet paid much attention to this combined-arms approach, despite its potential. Especially, concerning contemporary security challenges, such as developing cyber situational awareness and including human factors into cybersecurity, AR and DT, offer tremendous potential for improvement. In this work, we systematize existing knowledge on AR-powered DTs and shed light on why and how cybersecurity could benefit from this combination.

description: During the pathogenesis of glaucoma, optic nerve (ON) axons become continuously damaged at the optic nerve head (ONH). This often is associated with reactive astrocytes and increased transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) 2 levels. In this study we tested the hypothesis if the presence or absence of decorin (DCN), a small leucine-rich proteoglycan and a natural inhibitor of several members of the TGF family, would affect the expression of the TGF-beta s and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) in human ONH astrocytes and murine ON astrocytes. We found that DCN is present in the mouse ON and is expressed by human ONH and murine ON astrocytes. DCN expression and synthesis was significantly reduced after 24 h treatment with 3 nM CTGF/CCN2, while treatment with 4 pM TGF-beta 2 only reduced expression of DCN significantly. Conversely, DCN treatment significantly reduced the expression of TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 2 and CTGF/CCN2 vis-a-vis untreated controls. Furthermore, DCN treatment significantly reduced expression of fibronectin (FN) and collagen IV (COL IV). Notably, combined treatment with DCN and triciribine, a small molecule inhibitor of protein kinase B (AKT), attenuated effects of DCN on CTGF/CCN2, TGF-beta 1, and TGF-beta 2 mRNA expression. We conclude (1) that DCN is an important regulator of TGF-beta and CTGF/CCN2 expression in astrocytes of the ON and ONH, (2) that DCN thereby regulates the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components and (3) that DCN executes its negative regulatory effects on TGF-beta and CTGF/CCN2 via the pAKT/AKT signaling pathway in ON astrocytes.

description: Oxytocin (OXT) is a neuropeptide involved in a plethora of behavioral and physiological processes. However, there is a prominent lack of 3D cell culture models that investigate the effects of OXT on a cellular/molecular level. In this study, we established a hypothalamic neuronal spheroid model to investigate the cellular response in a more realistic 3D setting. Our data indicate that the formation of spheroids itself does not alter the basic characteristics of the cell line and that markers of cellular morphology and connectivity are stably expressed. We found that both OXT and arginine vasopressin (AVP) treatment increase spheroid size (surface area and volume), as well as individual nucleus size, which serves as an indicator for cellular proliferation. The cellular response to both OXT and AVP seems mainly to be mediated by the AVP receptor 1a (V1aR); however, the OXT receptor (OXTR) contributes significantly to the observed proliferative effect. When we blocked the OXTR pharmacologically or knocked down the OXTR by siRNA, the OXT- or AVP-induced cellular proliferation decreased. In summary, we established a 3D cell culture model of the neuronal response to OXT and AVP and found that spheroids react to the treatment via their respective receptors but also via cross-talk between the two receptor types.
