We have reported a case of a 44-year-old woman with anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) antibody-positive immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy triggered by human parvovirus B19 (PVB19) infection. She was admitted to the hospital because of lower leg edema and muscle weakness after erythema infectiosum. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lower extremities revealed high signals in the proximal muscles and subcutaneous edema on STIR.

Methods: Forty students in five Japanese primary schools were asked to wear triaxial accelerometers for ≥7 days.
Plant survival requires the ability to acclimate to heat. When plants are subjected to heat shock, the expression of various genes is induced, and the plants become tolerant of higher temperatures. We found that transient treatment with geldanamycin and radicicol, two heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors, induced heat-inducible genes and heat acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.
