Extrapulmonary Sarcoidosis With Multi-Organ Involvement Presenting Primarily as Hypercalcemia.

Sarcoidosis is a highly variable disease. The majority of cases affect the lungs, but they can involve other organs as well. Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is rare, and it can present in many ways.

Restricted genetic variation in populations of Achatina (Lissachatina) fulica outside of East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands points to the Indian Ocean Islands as the earliest known common source.

The Giant African Land Snail, Achatina ( =  Lissachatina) fulica Bowdich, 1822, is a tropical crop pest species with a widespread distribution across East Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean, and North and South America. Its current distribution is attributed primarily to the introduction of the snail to new areas by Man within the last 200 years. This study determined the extent of genetic diversity in global A.
