The ever-changing landscape of rotavirus serotypes.

Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA virus that is characterized by substantial genetic diversity. The various serotypes of rotavirus have been determined by the presence of neutralizing epitopes on the outer capsid of the protein shell. At present, 5 rotavirus serotypes (G1, G2, G3, G4, G9) are the predominant circulating strains, accounting for approximately 95% of strains worldwide, although t...

Insulin Delivery: An Ever Changing Frontier

Insulin transport across vascular endothelial cells is the rate limiting step in its time action profile. Glucose uptake in response to insulin is estimated through different techniques and is influenced by insulin sensitivity of the tissue. Glucose clamp technique and minimal model imply an incremental increase in the levels of insulin in the ISF compartment evidenced by increase in glucose up...

The Ever Changing Circumstellar Nebula around Uw Centauri

We present new images of the reflection nebula surrounding the R Coronae Borealis Star, UW Cen. This nebula, first detected in 1990, has changed its appearance significantly. At the estimated distance of UW Cen, this nebula is approximately 0.6 ly in radius so the nebula cannot have physically altered in only 8 years. Instead, the morphology of the nebula appears to change as different parts ar...

The ever-changing content of Pediatrics over fifty years.

At the time of the first edition of Pediatrics, the Journal of Pediatrics was the major pediatric publication in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) was instrumental in the establishment of the Journal of Pediatrics in 1931 and had designated it as its “official organ.” The Journal of Pediatrics, owned by C. V. Mosby Company, was generating profit, the magnitude of which...
