Molecular approaches uncover cryptic diversity in intertidal isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Ligiidae) across the southern Africa coastline.

Recent phylogeographic studies along the coastline of southern Africa have uncovered cryptic diversity in several coastal invertebrates, including direct developing crustaceans in the superorder Peracarida. These findings indicating the possible existence of additional cryptic diversity in other yet to be studied peracarids, particularly those known to harbor said cryptic diversity in other regions of the world. Isopods in the genus are one such taxon.

Blooms of Karenia brevis (also called red tides) occur almost annually in the Gulf of Mexico. The health effects of the neurotoxins (i.e.

Diagnostic imaging of sports-related spinal disorders.

Diagnostic imaging is a dynamic field that has taken a quantum leap over the past several years with the advent of MRI. Accordingly, it is integral that the sports medicine clinician be well acquainted with the sundry imaging modalities at his or her disposal, and be able to choose the appropriate study or studies that will provide the most useful and accurate information. Conventional radiography should be the first study performed in every athlete with sports-related injury to the spine.

Posttraumatic changes in the posterior glenoid and labrum in a handball player.

Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of a handball player with chronic pain in his nondominant shoulder revealed posttraumatic changes in the posterior glenoid and labrum. This provided a pathophysiologic explanation for the patient's symptoms.
