Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) was the primary target of ESA's Rosetta mission. Hyperspectral images acquired by the Mapping channel of the Visible and InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer aboard Rosetta can be used to derive physical and compositional surface properties by detailed spectrophotometric analyses. This calls for a precise spatial co-registration between measurements and geometry information.

However, in veterinary medicine, the use of MgSO has not been evaluated for its analgesic efficacy in dogs, which has generated conflicts of opinion in this area of veterinary anesthesiology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative analgesic efficacy of MgSO in combination with Ketamine in dogs undergoing Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO).

- Ascites is a common issue in patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to the peritoneum, impacting survival negatively; this study is the first to look specifically at ascites, peritoneal metastases (PM), and survival in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic gastric cancer (mGC).
- A retrospective analysis of clinical trial data showed that mCRC patients with ascites had significantly shorter progression-free and overall survival compared to those without PM, while gastric cancer patients with ascites also had poorer survival outcomes and higher disease severity scores.
- The findings suggest that ascites can indicate worse prognoses for certain cancer patients, highlighting the need for more focused research and tailored treatments for these individuals.
Article Synopsis
- - The VIRTIS-M instrument on the Rosetta spacecraft collected hyperspectral images of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, with the VIS channel detector's responsivity influenced by its temperature (TVIS).
- - Analyzed data showed that a 1 K increase in TVIS resulted in varying percentage increases in measured spectral values, which affects the accuracy of the spectra recorded.
- - A new parameterization was developed to correct for this temperature-related bias, ensuring consistency in the spectral data across the mission and enhancing future analyses.
