Tethered Balloon-Borne Turbulence Measurements in Winter and Spring during the MOSAiC Expedition.

During the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate expedition, a tethered balloon system was operated with a turbulence probe attached to study the lower troposphere in the high Arctic. Overall, measurements were conducted on 34 days between December 2019 and May 2020, resulting in 47 quality-assured sampling records consisting of vertical profiles and constant-altitude measurements. The continuous profiles extend from the surface, i.

Factors circulating in the blood of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients affect osteoblast maturation - description of a novel in vitro model.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most frequent metabolic disorders in industrialized countries. Among other complications, T2DM patients have an increased fracture risk and delayed fracture healing. We have demonstrated that supraphysiological glucose and insulin levels inhibit primary human osteoblasts׳ maturation.

THE METABOLISM OF LUNG TISSUE IN EXPERIMENTAL LOBAR PNEUMOCOCCUS PNEUMONIA IN THE DOG.

The metabolism of infected and uninfected lung tissues was determined at various stages of experimental lobar pneumococcus pneumonia in dogs. Analyses of tissues and analyses of the blood entering and leaving the lungs indicate a fairly normal aerobic metabolism of the tissue throughout the course of the infection.
