Familial Hyperckemia and Calf Hypertrophy Secondary to a Caveolin-3 Mutation.

Idiopathic hyperckemia has been described as persistent serum creatine kinase elevation at least 1.5 times the upper limit of normal in individuals with otherwise normal laboratory findings and neurological examination. This type of hyperckemia encompasses both sporadic and familial cases, which have been found to be asymptomatic or subclinical, presenting with mild symptoms, such as myalgias or cramps.

Sacroiliac Joint Interventions.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is an important cause of lower back problems. Multiple SIJ injection techniques have been proposed over the years to help in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. However, the SIJ innervation is complex and variable, and truly intra-articular injections are sometimes difficult to obtain.

Measuring individual locomotor rhythms in honey bees, paper wasps and other similar-sized insects.

Circadian rhythms in social insects are highly plastic and are modulated by multiple factors. In addition, complex behaviors such as sun-compass orientation and time learning are clearly regulated by the circadian system in these organisms. Despite these unique features of social insect clocks, the mechanisms as well as the functional and evolutionary relevance of these traits remain largely unknown.
