A baculovirus had been previously identified in larvae of the zebra caterpillar, Melanchra (formerly Ceramica) picta Harris. To further characterize this virus, two isolates, Melanchra picta nucleopolyhedrovirus-185 (MepiNPV-185) and MepiNPV-600, were fully sequenced. Analysis of the genome sequences revealed that both isolates are members of alphabaculovirus species Alphabaculovirus maconfiguratae, along with alphabaculoviruses of the bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata Walker.

- Neurological issues are prevalent in children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), potentially leading to lasting cognitive and functional problems.
- This study investigates how severe neurological symptoms during hospitalization relate to new cognitive and functional impairments upon discharge among children under 18.
- Over 3,500 patients were examined, revealing that those with severe neurological manifestations had a higher likelihood of experiencing new morbidities at discharge compared to those without such issues.
Objectives: Inhaled volatile anesthetics support management of status asthmaticus (SA), status epilepticus (SE), and difficult sedation (DS). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of using inhaled anesthetics for SA, SE, and DS in adult ICU and PICU patients.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase.
The COVID-19 stay-at-home orders issued in the United States caused significant reductions in traffic and economic activities. To understand the pandemic's perturbations on US emissions and impacts on urban air quality, we developed near-real-time bottom-up emission inventories based on publicly available energy and economic datasets, simulated the emission changes in a chemical transport model, and evaluated air quality impacts against various observations. The COVID-19 pandemic affected US emissions across broad-based energy and economic sectors and the impacts persisted to 2021.

Design: Multicenter, observational study.
Setting: Three hospitals in the pediatric Resuscitation Quality (pediRES-Q) collaborative from 2015 to 2022.
