This is a case report of a hospitalised 31-year-old female with rhabdomyolysis following a single 20-minute training session wearing a whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) suit. The patient presented with severe muscle pain, dark-coloured urine, and among others elevated levels of plasma creatine kinase and myoglobin. This case report demonstrate that unaccustomed WB-EMS training may be harmful.

Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate metabolism in dynamically fed mixed microbial cultures.

The kinetics of production and degradation of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) by a mixed activated sludge culture growing on acetate was studied in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Occasionally a very high amount of acetate was added to the steady state system in order to obtain high PHB concentrations in the cells (fPHB). This made it possible to follow PHB production and degradation over a wide range of fPHB-data (between 0 and 0.

Storage and degradation of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate in activated sludge under aerobic conditions.

This research analyses the accumulation and degradation of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) in experiments with pulse addition of acetate to samples of activated sludge from pilot-plant and full-scale wastewater treatment plants. The experiments are divided into two periods: a feast period defined as the time when acetate is consumed and a famine period when the added acetate has been exhausted. In the feast period the significant process occurring is the production of PHB from acetate.

Glycogen metabolism in aerobic mixed cultures.

In this study, the metabolism of glycogen storage and consumption in mixed cultures under aerobic conditions is described. The experimental results are used to calibrate a metabolic model, which as sole stoichiometric variables has the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation (delta) and maintenance requirement in units of adenosine triphosphate (m(ATP)). Using the experimental data and values from the literature we show that delta and m(ATP) are strongly coupled and that the values determined for glycogen and poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) metabolism are similar.
