    Abstract A series of prolyl-N-isonicotinoyl-(L)-4-aminophenylalanine derivatives substituted at the proline 4-position with cyclic amines was evaluated as VLA-4 antagonists. The ring size and presence or absence of fluorine affected potency and receptor occupancy. The analog with 3,3-difluoropiperidine at the proline 4-position (13) was the most potent compound and had very good duration of receptor occupancy in vitro. The ethyl ester prodrug of 13 demonstrated excellent receptor occupancy after oral dosing in rats.

    Abstract A 38-year-old white rhinoceros bull (Ceratotherium simum) was treated with phenylbutazone over a period of four years for chronic osteoarthritic and neuropathic pain of the thoracic limbs. Initially the lameness was sporadic and responded well to phenylbutazone (4 mg/kg PO SID). The lameness increased in severity during the winter months. Four years after treatment was initiated, there was an increase in the severity and incidence of the lameness. Analgesia was augmented by the addition of non-conventional analgesic drugs. Pentosan polysulfate was administered IM at 3 mg/kg once a week for two treatments and thereafter monthly when possible. Gabapentin was used at 8 mg/kg but produced ataxia and anorexia. The dose was reduced to 4-5 mg/kg PO SID. Amantadine (3 mg/kg PO BID) was added to the multimodal analgesia and produced a significant improvement in the clinical lameness. Chronic inflammation was monitored using both automated and manual fibrinogen methods. Eventually the rhinoceros was euthanized on humane grounds when treatment was unable to produce suitable clinical relief.

    Abstract Neuron migration is a key phase of neurogenesis, critical for the assembly and function of neuronal circuits. In songbirds, this process continues throughout life, but how these newborn neurons disperse through the adult brain is unclear. We address this question using in vivo two-photon imaging in transgenic zebra finches that express GFP in young neurons and other cell types. In juvenile and adult birds, migratory cells are present at a high density, travel in all directions, and make frequent course changes. Notably, these dynamic migration patterns are well fit by a superdiffusive model. Simulations reveal that these superdiffusive dynamics are sufficient to disperse new neurons throughout the song nucleus HVC. These results suggest that superdiffusive migration may underlie the formation and maintenance of nuclear brain structures in the postnatal brain and indicate that transgenic songbirds are a useful resource for future studies into the mechanisms of adult neurogenesis.

    Abstract Two outbreaks of pine needle abortions in cattle are here reported for the first time in Argentina. The cases occurred in Chubut and Neuquén provinces in the Patagonia region, causing 29.6% and 9% of abortions in each herd respectively. In both outbreaks, the dams were in the last third of gestation, and, due to a period of cold, snow and lack of available forage, they gained access to Pinus ponderosa and Pinus contorta forests. No pathological lesions, serological, molecular, or microbiological evidence of infectious causes were observed in any of the six fetuses analyzed. Microhistological analysis of feces confirmed higher presence of fragments of Pinus spp. needles in the diet of affected dams than in that of non-affected ones (12.2 vs 3.0%). Moreover, toxicological analysis showed higher tetrahydroagathic acid in the sera of affected dams than in that of non-affected ones (10.05 vs 2.81 ppm). In addition, this acid was detected in different fetal fluids (3.6-8.1 ppm) of the six fetuses analyzed. Interestingly, isocupressic acid was detected only in needles of P. ponderosa, and its content was lower than that found in other areas of the world (0.31 and 0.5% in Chubut and Neuquén respectively). These results confirm that the consumption of P. ponderosa by dams could have been the cause of these abortion outbreaks, a fact that should be considered as differential diagnosis in abortions of cattle, especially in silvopastoral systems of Argentina.

    Abstract Purpose: One common complaint with natural opacified lenses is the deleterious effects of higher-order ocular aberrations and intraocular scatter, such as halos and starbursts, which are not always remedied with surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Blue-light filtering (BLF) IOL filter scatter-prone short-wave light. Here, we determine whether BLF IOL reduce halo and starburst size.
    Methods: This study was a case-control design, between- and within-subjects (contralateral implantation). Sixty-nine participants with either the BLF IOL (
    Results: A case-control analysis. Halo size was significantly larger (
    Conclusions: BLF IOL filter short-wave light and mimic retinal screening by the young, natural crystalline lens. Such filtering can reduce some deleterious effects of bright light by decreasing ocular diffusion/halos and starbursts.

    Abstract There is widespread recognition that undergraduate students in the life sciences must learn how to work in teams. However, instructors who wish to incorporate teamwork into their classrooms rarely have formal training in how to teach teamwork. This is further complicated by the application of synonymous and often ambiguous terminology regarding teamwork that is found in literature spread among many different disciplines. There are significant barriers for instructors wishing to identify and implement best practices. We synthesize key concepts in teamwork by considering the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary for success, the pedagogies and curricula for teaching those KSAs, and the instruments available for evaluating and assessing success. There are only a limited number of studies on teamwork in higher education that present an intervention with a control group and a formal evaluation or assessment. Moreover, these studies are almost exclusively outside STEM disciplines, raising questions about their extensibility. We conclude by considering how to build an evidence base for instruction that will empower students with the KSAs necessary for participating in a lifetime of equitable and inclusive teamwork.

    Abstract Recent advances in nonparametric Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) estimation have yielded a new tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency not available to classical parametric estimators. An additional advantage of this new framework is the ability to independently tune multiple aspects of the estimator to seek further improvements. Machine Learning CSF (MLCSF) estimation with Gaussian processes allows for design optimization in the kernel, acquisition function and underlying task representation, to name a few. This paper describes a novel kernel for psychometric function estimation that is more flexible than a kernel based on signal detection theory. Despite being more flexible, it can result in a more efficient estimator. Further, trial selection for data acquisition that is generalized beyond pure information gain can also improve estimator quality. Finally, introducing latent variable representations underlying general CSF shapes can enable simultaneous estimation of multiple CSFs, such as from different eyes, eccentricities or luminances. The conditions under which the new procedures perform better than previous nonparametric estimation procedures are presented and quantified.
