The paradox of retained genetic diversity of Hippocampus guttulatus in the face of demographic decline.

Genetic diversity is the raw foundation for evolutionary potential. When genetic diversity is significantly reduced, the risk of extinction is heightened considerably. The long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) is one of two seahorse species occurring in the North-East Atlantic.

Pathogenesis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis.

Purpose: To provide clinicians in primary and acute care settings with information on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of rhabdomyolysis.
