Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

4. INVESTIGATION OF DRUGS FOR MANUFACTURERS
MICROMUN can be commissioned by pharmaceutical
manufacturers to develop test methods and to investigate drugs
according to GMP. MICROMUN applies cell biological-, molecular
biological-, immuno chemical- and biochemical methods for this
purpose. MICROMUN provides methods to determine the infective
virus burden in drugs which are derived from biological sources. A
broad spectrum of animal- and human pathogenic viruses can be
screened.
MICROMUN has developed assays for the determination of the
identity of drugs and vaccines by molecular biological- as well as by
immunological methods.
MICROMUN carries out quantitative and qualitative determinations
of nucleic acid- and protein content of drugs and biological samples.
Drug preparations are quantitatively inspected for the presence of
bacterial endotoxins with the aid of the LAL assay according to the
5. Implication of biopharmaceutics and
pharmacokinetics of rifampicin in variable
bioavailability from solid oral dosage forms.
Rifampicin is one of the oldest and most effective chemotherapeutic
agents available for the treatment of tuberculosis but exhibits
variable bioavailability from separate and fixed dose combination
formulations, which has been identified as a major bottleneck in the
effective treatment of tuberculosis. In this investigation, physico-
chemical characterization, single dose pharmacokinetic studies and
the permeability of rifampicin under physiological conditions in the
rat were studied to trace the possible reasons for its variable
absorption. Rifampicin exhibits very high solubility in acidic and
basic pH, corresponding to the pH of the stomach and distal
intestine, respectively, whereas it is moderately soluble at the jejunal
pH. From single-dose pharmacokinetic studies and permeability
characterization, rifampicin is a highly permeable molecule and
thus according to BCS, it
6. is a borderline class II drug. This investigation has ruled out the
possibility of intrinsic solubility, effective permeability, drug
decomposition, presystemic metabolism and interaction with other
antituberculosis drugs as direct factors responsible for the variable
bioavailability of rifampicin. However, it was found that the rate of
dissolution in association with pH and the concentration-
dependent absorption of rifampicin affects the in vivo performance
of the dosage forms. In addition, this is the first report of
methodology for correcting inlet concentration for permeability
calculations of a chemically unstable molecule.
The United States Food and Drug
Administration's Investigational New Drug (IND) program is the
means by which a pharmaceutical company obtains permission to
ship an experimental drug across state lines (usually to clinical
investigators) before a marketing application for the drug has been
approved. The FDA reviews the IND application for safety to assure
that research subjects will not be subjected to unreasonable risk. If
the application is cleared, the candidate drug usually enters a Phase
7. Application contents
The IND application must contain information in three broad
areas:[1]
Animal Pharmacology and Toxicology Studies – Preclinical data to
permit an assessment as to whether the product is reasonably safe
for initial testing in humans. Also included are any previous
experience with the drug in humans (often foreign use).
Chemistry and Manufacturing Information – Information pertaining
to the chemical composition, manufacturing methods, stability, and
controls used for manufacturing the drug substance and the drug
product. The chemical stability and activity of the product must also
have been tested. This information is assessed to ensure that the
company can adequately produce and supply consistent and active
batches of the drug.
Clinical Protocols and Investigator Information – Detailed protocols
for proposed clinical studies to assess whether the initial-phase trials
will expose the subjects to unnecessary risks. enrolled.
8. Information on the qualifications of clinical investigators—
professionals (generally physicians) who oversee the administration
of the experimental compound—to assess whether they are
qualified to fulfill their clinical trial duties. Finally, commitments to
obtain informed consent from the research subjects, to obtain
review of the study by an institutional review board (IRB), and to
adhere to the investigational new drug regulations.
An IND must also include an Investigator's Brochure which is a
document intended to educate the trial investigators of the
significant facts about the trial drug they need to know to conduct
their clinical trial with the least hazard to the subjects or patients
who will be
9. IND types
There are three IND types:[1]
An Investigator IND is submitted by a physician who both initiates
and conducts an investigation, and under whose immediate
direction the investigational drug is administered or dispensed. A
physician might submit a research IND to propose studying an
unapproved drug, or an approved product for a new indication or in
a new patient population.
Emergency Use IND allows the FDA to authorize use of an
experimental drug in an emergency situation that does not allow
time for submission of an IND.
Treatment IND is submitted for experimental drugs showing
promise in clinical testing for serious or immediately life-
threatening conditions while the final clinical work is conducted
and the FDA review takes place.
10. Additional regulations
Experimental drugs under an IND must be labeled, "Caution: New
Drug – Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational
use.
Noteworthy examples
The FDA runs a medical marijuana IND program
(the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program). It stopped
accepting new patients in 1992 after public health authorities
concluded there was no scientific value to it, and due to
President George H.W. Bush administration's desire to "get tough on
crime and drugs." As of 2011, four patients continue to
receive cannabis from the government under the program.[2]
