GR states that the laws of physics are the same in any coordinates. However, some coordinates are easier to work with then others. One such set of coordinates are comoving coordinates in which an observer is comoving with the Hubble flow. Only for these observers in the comoving coordinates, the Universe is isotropic (otherwise, portions of the Universe will exhibit a systematic bias: portions ...

This paper presents quite a different version of the origins of the Red Cross from that officially recognised. On the basis of historical documents and statements of authors who are critical and attentive to the detail of the circumstances and events which gave rise to the Red Cross, it is possible to discern a surprising historical truth.

During the past four years, the research of new synthetic methodologies for the rapid construction of enantiomerically pure substituted indole has had a fruitful and important growth. This research line continues to produce stunning arrays of enantioselective technologies either metal or organocatalyzed. Thus, an update of our previous review (Chem. Soc. Rev., 2010, 39, 4449-4465) has become ne...

Red cell aplasia in children is a condition characterised by failure of erythropoiesis, with normal production of white blood cells and platelets. The disorder is either acquired or constitutional (congenital or inherited). The constitutional disorder is usually permanent, while the acquired variety is often transient, and thereby differs from adult pure red cell aplasia. As the treatment and p...

Anaemia is common among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. It may be directly attributable to the virus or may be caused by opportunistic infections, neoplasms or drugs that cause either bone marrow suppression or haemolysis. Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is an uncommon haematological disorder that causes severe transfusion dependant anaemia. We report a 36 year-old female wit...
