The Development of Immobilization Induced Hypercalcemia in the Outpatient Setting - A Case Report.

Immobilization induced hypercalcemia is an uncommon and serious disorder that requires a thorough evaluation to exclude more common causes of an elevated calcium. Although the pathogenesis is not clearly illuminated, immobilization results in an uncoupling between osteogenic and osteoclastic factors that maintain bone homeostasis. When calcemic bone resorption overwhelms urinary calcium excretion, blood hypercalcemia ensues.

Grey and harbor seals in France (mainland and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon): microbial communities and identification of a microbial source tracking seal marker.

Introduction: Seals, protected wild marine mammals, are widely found in waters around the world. However, rising concerns about their increasing numbers in some areas have led to potential worries regarding microbiological contamination of coastal areas by their feces, which could impact bathing and shellfish-harvesting activities. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the bacterial and RNA viral communities present in the feces of both grey and harbor seals, which are the two main seal species observed in mainland France and overseas.
