Peripheral immune cell dysregulation following diffuse traumatic brain injury in pigs by Kathryn L. Wofford, Kevin D. Browne, David J. Loane, David F. Meaney, D. Kacy Cullen

“…Indeed, secondary infections following TBI worsen neurological outcomes and are a major source of mortality and morbidity. Despite the compelling link between the damaged brain and peripheral immune functionality, little is known about how injury severity affects the peripheral immune system in closed-head diffuse TBI, the most common clinical presentation including all concussions. …”

OGLE-2011-BLG-0462: An Isolated Stellar-mass Black Hole Confirmed Using New HST Astrometry and Updated Photometry by Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano, Howard E. Bond, Martin Dominik, Annalisa Calamida, Andrea Bellini, Thomas M. Brown, Henry C. Ferguson, Marina Rejkuba

“…We have reanalyzed the data, including the new HST astrometry, and photometry obtained with 16 different telescopes. The source lies only $0\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }4$ from a bright neighbor, making it crucial to perform precise subtraction of its point-spread function (PSF) in the astrometric measurements of the source. …”
