Nanosecond transient spectroscopic measurements of the BATHO products formed from photolysis of bovine rhodopsin (RHO) and isorhodopsin (ISO) are discussed. BATHO absorption spectra of RHO and ISO differ slightly, but both pigments exhibit wavelength maxima near 560 nm. An additional transient absorption at 440 nm is observed immediately following excitation of RHO but not ISO. The decay times and Arrhenius activation energies of the two 560 nm absorbing transients are the same. In addition to spectral differences in the photolysis of RHO and ISO, the bleaching yield as a function of 532 nm laser power is different, with the yield in RHO saturating at lower laser power than ISO. The bleaching yield of the two pigments has been modeled using the known extinction coefficients and quantum yields for the interconversion of RHO, ISO, and a single BATHO species. Agreement between experiment and the model is found if the effects of the laser polarization are considered. The data are consistent with a common BATHO in the photolysis of RHO and ISO.

An 11-year-old spayed female Maltese dog presented with a 2-month history of gait alterations, wide-based stance, and chronic vomiting. Neurological examination revealed cerebellovestibular signs, including head tilt, nystagmus, strabismus, intentional tremor, and hypermetric gait. MRI showed a mass with iso- to hypointensity on T1-weighted (T1W) images and heterogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted (T2W) images, with marked non-uniform contrast enhancement.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile strain HL-JVS1, was isolated from the gastric tract of a juvenile Pacific white shrimp. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain HL-JVS1 revealed its affiliation with the genus Pleionea, with close relatives including Pleionea mediterranea MOLA115 (97.5%) and Pleionea sediminis S1-5-21 (96.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to confirm findings about liver function by comparing signal intensity in gadoxetate-enhanced MRI and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) from CT in patients with Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) between January 2013 and September 2018.
- - A total of 48 ALD patients were analyzed, with results showing various grades of gallbladder fossa necrosis (GBFN) and corresponding signal intensities and ECV ratios suggesting differences in liver function and fibrosis.
- - The study finds a significant correlation between GBFN grades and both signal intensity and ECV ratios, indicating that higher grades of GBFN have more functioning liver cells and less fibrosis compared to the surrounding liver tissue.

Studies have demonstrated associations between cumulative concussion and repetitive head impact exposure (RHI) through contact sports with white matter (WM) alterations later in life. The course of WM changes associated with exposure earlier in the lifespan is unclear. This study investigated alterations in white matter (WM hyperintensity [WMH] volume and microstructural changes) associated with concussion and RHI exposure from adolescence to early midlife, as well as the interaction between exposure and age cohort (i.
