“…After 24 h infusion, right-sided fetuses and dams remained euglycemic while left-sided fetuses were moderately hyperglycemic. Echocardiograms in utero demonstrated a thickened cardiac septum among left-sided (glucose-exposed, 0.592 ± 0.016 mm) compared to right-sided (control, 0.482 ± 0.016 mm) fetuses. …”

Pharmacological enhancement of slow-wave activity at an early disease stage improves cognition and reduces amyloid pathology in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease by Sedef Kollarik, Sedef Kollarik, Sedef Kollarik, Dorita Bimbiryte, Aakriti Sethi, Inês Dias, Inês Dias, Inês Dias, Carlos G. Moreira, Daniela Noain, Daniela Noain, Daniela Noain, Daniela Noain

“…However, the window of opportunity for successful sleep-targeted interventions, regarding the reduction in pathological hallmarks and related cognitive performance, remains poorly characterized.MethodsHere, we enhanced slow-wave activity (SWA) during sleep via sodium oxybate (SO) oral administration for 2 weeks at early (6 months old) or moderately late (11 months old) disease stages in Tg2576 mice and evaluated resulting neuropathology and behavioral performance.ResultsWe observed that the cognitive performance of 6-month-old Tg2576 mice significantly improved upon SO treatment, whereas no change was observed in 11-month-old mice. …”

A‐CHAIM: Near‐Real‐Time Data Assimilation of the High Latitude Ionosphere With a Particle Filter by Ben Reid, David R. Themens, Anthony McCaffrey, P. T. Jayachandran, Magnar G. Johnsen, Thomas Ulich

“…The performance of A‐CHAIM is assessed by comparing the model outputs to unassimilated ionosonde observations, as well as to in‐situ electron density observations from the SWARM and DMSP satellites. During moderately disturbed conditions from 21 September 2021 through 29 September 2021, A‐CHAIM demonstrates a 40%–50% reduction in error relative to the background model in the F2‐layer critical frequency (foF2) at midlatitude and auroral reference stations, and little change at higher latitudes. …”
