Growth And Reproduction

The mussel-like bivalve species from the Caribbean, Mytilopsis sallei, is now well established in the vicinities of several ports in South and Southeast Asia. Although it may not be as notorious as its relative the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha, this brackish-water bivalve has the ability to colonise and displace native species in intertidal and subtidal habitats. It is also another testament to how well a tropical species can travel beyond its natural biogeographical boundaries. Here we briefly review its taxonomy, morphology, growth and reproduction, habitat and distribution, as well as its impact on natural habitats after invasion, based on published literature.

A survey on fouling using PVC panels was carried out for a period of one year in Yangon River. Additional observations on fouling of man-made structures elsewhere in Myanmar were also made in an effort to find marine alien invasive species. The Myanmar ports at Yangon, Sittway and Myeik have a long history of overseas trading with Europe since the 17th century. In addition, though the Yangon port and jetties are located upstream some 12 miles from the mouth of Yangon River, it experiences regular tidal action with seasonal brackish water conditions. Its catchment area is only 100 miles from the mouth and hence the river and its tributaries are short and small. Moreover, there are several weirs and small dams on the tributaries, which result in reduced sediment influx at the mouth and thus less turbidity. Therefore, the physiochemical conditions at Yangon port may not pose a limitation on the distribution of nuisance species that are able to survive brackish water conditions. Elsewhere, Sittway port at the mouth of the Kispanadi River also experiences regular tidal action and is directly connected to the Bay of Bengal, conditions which are favourable for the intrusion of marine nuisance species. Myeik port is located along the open shore of the Myeik, which is located near the Myeik Archipelago. The waters around the archipelago are clear and the shelf is characterized by high biodiversity. Therefore, the environment also appears to be highly favourable for alien invasive species. However, these ports have no record of the occurrence of alien invasive species in particular the Caribbean bivalve Mytilopsis sallei.

  Objective: This review aimed to provide an update on the characterization and impact of musculoskeletal pain in COVID-19 survivors. Methods: It is considered articles on subjects who had been recovered from COVID-19 infection after hospitalization (COVID-19 survivors) with secondary musculoskeletal pain. Results: Six articles (one editorial, one consensus statement, one letter to the editor, one case-control study, one cohort study and one review) showed the polyhedral effects of the SARS-CoV-2 on musculoskeletal pain. This short review was not able to clearly identify what the pathogenesis of musculoskeletal pain was in COVID-19 survivors. Conclusion: Preliminary data showed that widespread pain similar to the pattern compatible with pain of musculoskeletal origin could characterize symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection.  Resumen. Objetivo: Esta revisión tuvo como objetivo proporcionar una actualización sobre la caracterización y el impacto del dolor musculoesquelético en los supervivientes de COVID-19. Métodos: Se consideraron artículos sobre sujetos que se recuperaron de la infección por COVID-19 tras la hospitalización (supervivientes de COVID-19) con dolor musculoesquelético secundario. Resultados: Seis artículos (un editorial, una declaración de consenso, una carta al editor, un estudio de casos y controles, un estudio de cohortes y una revisión) mostraron los efectos poliédricos del SARS-CoV-2 sobre el dolor musculoesquelético.  Esta breve revisión no pudo identificar claramente cuál era la patogénesis del dolor musculoesquelético en los supervivientes del COVID-19. Conclusión: Los datos preliminares mostraron que el dolor generalizado similar al patrón compatible con el dolor de origen musculoesquelético podría caracterizar los síntomas después de la infección por SARS-CoV-2.

Multiple Component

Selected area electron diffraction (SAD) has been used successfully to determine crystal structures, identify traces of minerals in rocks, and characterize the phases formed during thermal treatment of micron-sized particles. There is an increased interest in the method because it has the potential capability of identifying micron-sized pollutants in air and water samples. This paper is a short review of the theory behind SAD and a discussion of the sample preparation employed for the analysis of multiple component environmental samples.

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.
