Teleost fishes account for 96% of all fish species and exhibit a spectacular variety of body forms. Teleost lineages range from deep bodied to elongate (e.g.

Morphological and functional sex expression in the Malagasy endemic Tina striata (Sapindaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Knowledge of the functional sex expression of flowers is critical to identify the breeding system and potential for outcrossing in individuals but difficult to determine based solely on floral morphology. Individuals of the Malagasy endemic Tina striata (Sapindaceae) have both morphologically male (staminate) flowers and hermaphroditic (bisexual) flowers, although many Sapindaceae species have only functionally unisexual flowers. Two populations of T.

1,25-dihydroxycholesterol treatment of long-term haemodialysed patients with renal osteodystrophy.

Renal osteodystrophy still poses major problems in the management of chronic renal failure, though it had been extensively studied over the last years. The present therapeutic possibilities - massive-dose vitamin D, aluminium hydroxide and supplementary Ca-intake, administration of active vitamin D metabolites - are discussed in the light of personal observations.
