Farr and Mandel reanalyze our data, finding initial mass function slopes for high-mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpredict the observed number of massive stars. Their technique results in more precise slopes than in our work, strengthening our conclusion that there is an excess of massive stars (>30 solar masses) in 30 Doradus.

- Bothrops antivenom was found to affect leukocyte-endothelial interactions (LEI) in mice, similar to the effects of B. jararaca venom.
- The antivenom caused symptoms like tremors and breathing difficulties, attributed to phenol used as a preservative.
- Phenol-free antivenom successfully neutralized venom effects on LEI, indicating that while the antivenom is effective, its preservative can lead to unwanted side effects.
