Table 1. Clinical estimation of bilirubin level compared with actual serum total bilirubin STB by physicians taking part in the study. This study evaluated the ability of neonatologists to assess the degree of jaundice in healthy term neonates.

In an era of growing technology and ready accessibility of laboratory tests, it is possible that the accuracy of References clinical assessment may decline.

The first human colony in space is waiting, after 30 years away, to be taken back to Earth. A man hiking in Europe takes shelter in an abbey during a rainstorm.

The traveler, unsure who to believe, releases the howling man, and lives to regret it. A woman cooking stew discovers that two little aliens have landed a flying saucer on her roof. She ends up in a fierce battle with them. It turns out that the aliens are actually from Earth and were sent to explore a planet of giants. A woman driving across the country starts to see a hitchhiker after she blows out a tire. She gets more and more freaked out—understandably so, because the man on the side of the road turns out to be Death.

The script was adapted from a radio play by Lucille Fletcher. An ad executive leaves New York on a spontaneous road trip to slow down a little.

When he gets there, he sees his parents with his year-old self, which gets confusing for everyone. His dad convinces him that he has to go back to the present. The park in the episode was reportedly inspired by a park in the hometown of creator and writer Rod Serling. A man gets a death sentence for murder. He warns them that if they kill him, they, too, will cease to exist.

She brings him inside, where they have a long, frank conversation about the unknown. Robert Redford plays the policeman. A couple on honeymoon is waiting in a diner while their car is in the shop. They find a fortune-telling machine, and the man gets drawn in as the things it predicts begin to come true. William Shatner stars in this episode.

A woman goes to a department store to buy a gold thimble for her mother. When she talks to the sales associates, she learns there is no ninth floor, and on her quest to find the person who helped her with the thimble, she learns who, or what, she really is. This is one of three episodes with an eye rather than a spiral at the beginning. The rope breaks, and he falls into the water. He does his best to elude the soldiers chasing after him as he makes his way home to his wife, but his neck snaps, ending the fantasy.

The script is based on a story by the American poet and humor writer Ambrose Bierce. Earth has been knocked out of orbit and is moving closer and closer to the sun. People are trying to escape the heat, which is so intense that paintings are melting, and two neighbors do their best to survive as everyone else flees their building.

Jason Wingreen, who later appeared in "Airplane! Three astronauts go into space and crash into the desert. As they recover from the ordeal, one in the hospital and the other two in a bar, they start to disappear.

Everyone around them forgets they ever existed. A dying rich man knows that all his heirs want his is money. He tells them that if they want to be left in the inheritance, they have to wear masks to his Mardi Gras party. The masks make their faces change to match their biggest flaws. They find out that it was a false alarm; but not in time to save their friendships. In a fan-favorite episode, a major, a clown, a dancer, a hobo and a bagpiper find themselves trapped together in a cylindrical room.

They try to escape, but fall down every time they hear a loud clang. An ad man tired of his life falls asleep on a train and discovers a town called Willoughby. His wife critiques his fantasies, and he decides that life is better there. He steps off a moving train to his death in order to stay in the town he loves.

The train station names used in the show are reportedly from the New Haven Railroad. Policemen are investigating a reported flying saucer crash. They find a group of bus passengers stranded at a diner while they wait out a snowstorm.

O nly trouble is, there are one too many passengers. The cops try to figure out which one is the Martian, while the alien has his own plans for world domination. The government allows the condemned man to choose how he will die. Burgess Meredith, who played Mickey in the "Rocky" films, is the librarian. The doll starts telling him that it hates him and wants to kill him. He tries taking a blowtorch to the doll, but she, and a flight of stairs, get the better of him.

In an iconic performance by Billy Mumy, a six-year-old boy reigns terror on his small town with his powers to read minds and get rid of anyone who thinks less-than-good thoughts. In , this episode became the only one to get a sequel. When the lights go out on a tree-lined, suburban street, someone suggests that aliens are attacking. As the weirdness continues, neighbors become suspicious of each other, escalating to mass hysteria.

The aliens who do want to control the planet watch from a distance as humans do a perfectly fine job of destroying themselves. Then his glasses break. The legendary actor Burgess Meredith, plays the banker. It remains a poignant, if ironic, ode to bibliophiles and introverts everywhere. Series creator and writer Rod Serling said this was one of his favorite episodes.

Aliens come to Earth and appear to want to make peace. Then, when they leave behind a book, people work to decode what it means. The script is based on a story by sci-fi novelist Damon Knight. At first, he tries to downplay his concern and asks his wife to make sure the pilot checks on that part of the plane. Perhaps the most classic episode of the series focuses on a woman recovering from her 11th facial surgery, undergone in order to make herself look pleasing enough to avoid being sent away to a colony of hideous people.

When her bandages come off, revealing what would be, in our world, a beautiful woman, the doctor is disappointed. Then, we finally see what everyone else looks like. The legendary makeup artist, William Tuttle, who created the dazzlingly creepy and unexpected looks for this episode, also created the effects for the Morlocks in the sci-fi film "The Time Machine" as well as a number of other iconic films as the head of makeup at MGM during his storied year career.

The music is provided by the iconic composer and frequent Hitchcock collaborator, Bernard Herrmann, who also wrote the theme for the series. Kristin Marguerite Doidge 6 days ago. Live updates.

Enhanced PPPs were defined as having been altered to become even more transmissible and deadly. Natural pathogens either circulating in nature or recovered from it were excluded from the policy, as were efforts to sequence pathogens or use them to make vaccines. A committee at the Department of Health and Human Services is now tasked with making final decisions about what is and is not a gain of function experiment.

But longtime critics of federal oversight still aren't pleased. Arturo Casadevall, a microbiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, co-authored a editorial in the journal mBIO, reporting that both PC30 reviews to date have been made behind closed doors, despite guidance from the White House at the time the framework was released encouraging a transparent process.

Transparency could ensure that reviewers are free of conflicts of interest. But given the politics surrounding gain-of-function, the possibility that others may use public information for nefarious purposes, and the way researchers associated with gain-of-function have been attacked in the press and on social media, transparency might also deter potential reviewers from participating. In an email to Undark, Casadevall acknowledged that "some people in the coronavirus field have gotten death threats.

This is what we do in an academic literature peer review. EcoHealth and its partners, which included the Wuhan Institute of Virology, wanted to inoculate wild bats in China with proteins from chimeric coronaviruses, reasoning that vaccinated bat immune systems would block viral replication and thus lessen the risk of the virus spilling over into local populations.

Gain-of-function research accounts for just a tiny sliver of the federal research portfolio, and the scientists who spoke with Undark were hard pressed to identify many important discoveries made through this line of research. Casadevall cited the work of Fouchier and Kawaoka, which, he says, showed unequivocally that H5N1 had the capacity of airborne spread among mammals.

Through a spokesperson, Baric declined to be interviewed for this article, citing a request from his university that he refrain from speaking to the press. Yet in a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, he claimed that this experimental method was instrumental in allowing him to identify high-risk SARS-like coronaviruses and test drugs against them. Fauci asserted in a editorial that the need to stay ahead of pandemic threats is the primary justification for gain-of-function research.

However, Simon Wain-Hobson, a microbiologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, counters that "no one can predict the next pandemic, and if you can't do that, then the whole raison d'etre for gain-of-function falls apart. Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary biologist who works on virology at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Institute, agrees. SARS-CoV-2, he added, emerged in Wuhan "right under the noses of people doing this work, and nothing they did was useful in stopping it.

For his part, Casadevall steers towards the middle ground, and worries that if society overreacts against gain-of-function research, the field might become over-regulated, and then the experiments will never get done.
