Annotations on Message Board Images in Presenter 3
Even on the clearest of pictures, it's not always easy to tell what you're supposed to be looking at on slideshow images posted to the VIN Message boards. With the new Annotations tool in Presenter 3, text, highlights, and graphics can now be added to the image, making it easy to see to just what area of the image the poster is referring. Note: Functionality for creating annotations will initially be released only to admins/consultants. As the process is refined, all members will be allowed to create annotations. If you haven't checked out Beta.vin.com now is the perfect time to give it a try! Keep an eye on this section of VIN This Week to find out what new toys you can help us perfect on Beta.vin.com.

Effects of syringe type and storage conditions on results of equine blood gas and acid-base analysis
Heparinized jugular venous blood was equilibrated via a tonometer at 37°C with 12% O(2) and 5% CO(2). Aliquots (3 mL) of tonometer-equilibrated blood were collected in random order by use of a glass syringe (GS), general-purpose polypropylene syringe (GPPS), or polypropylene syringe designed for blood gas analysis (PSBGA) and stored in ice water (0°C) or at room temperature (22°C) for 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Blood pH was measured, and blood gas analysis was performed; data were analyzed by use of multivariable regression analysis.
