Gamleborg
Gamleborg, also known as Gamleborg Viking Fortress, was the first fortress on the Danish island of Bornholm. Built around 750 AD, it was the seat of the kings of Bornholm during the Viking age (750–1050) and early Middle Ages (1050–1150). The massive fortress is long from north to south and wide from east to west, with gates to the north and southwest. Around 1100, significant alterations were made and it was reinforced, but it was abandoned soon afterwards in favour of Lilleborg Castle, roughly to the northeast.
# History.
The fortress is Bornholm's oldest defence works. Its builder is unknown, but an account of the Baltic Sea travels of Wulfstan of Hedeby in 890 tells us that Bornholm | 6,132,700 |
37324039 | Gamleborg | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gamleborg | Gamleborg
already had its own king at the time. There is, however, firm evidence that the fortress was in use during the reigns of Harald Bluetooth (940–986) and Canute IV (1080–1086). The Gamleborg fort was used as refuge during the tenth century against Viking raids. Gamleborg was abandoned in 1150, the occupants moving to Lilleborg, only to the northwest. It is not known why the move was made but it does not appear to have been the result of hostilities. Excavations in the 1950s showed the fortifications originated in the Viking period although there is evidence the site was used as a hideout in the Iron Age. The ruins that can be seen today are mainly the result of reconstruction work completed in | 6,132,701 |
37324039 | Gamleborg | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gamleborg | Gamleborg
about 1100.
# Architecture.
The fortress is in size. Part of the wall, built of rocks and boulders set in clay, is still in good condition, and the outline of the fort is still remarkably clear given its age. The fortress at one time had a moat and outer wall, and the walls on the north and south side were higher, around in height.
# Grounds.
The fort is located on a hill almost in the centre of the island, part of the Almindingen forest. It is several hundred yards off the main road from Rønne to Svaneke. The site is naturally protected by cliffs, especially on the south side, which are up to in height. A water pool, located on the northwestern side was the main water supply to the fortress. | 6,132,702 |
37324039 | Gamleborg | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gamleborg | Gamleborg
The ruins are situated in mounds.
The defences first consisted of huge ramparts built of large boulders, consolidated with earth and clay. There were initially gates to the north and south with additional protection from moats and outer ramparts. There were several buildings for the occupants and their stores. Two stone lined embankments can still be seen aside the west entrance. Outside the old western rampart, the site was fortified with a solid stone wall, long, wide and up to high. The north gate was significantly widened and there was probably a watchtower on the northwest corner of the rampart. The old south gate was walled up and replaced by a larger entrance on the southwest corner. | 6,132,703 |

Sinners (1920 film)
Sinners is a lost 1920 American silent drama film based on a play of the same name by Owen Davis. The play was produced by William A. Brady and starred his daughter Alice Brady who also stars in this film. The Realart Company produced and released the film. Alice Brady's husband James Crane appears in this picture as well as in her next film, "A Dark Lantern".
# Plot.
Based upon a review in a film publication, the plot contrasts the corrupt gay life of the city with the dignity and wholesome life of people in the country. When Mary Horton (Brady) goes to the city seeking work but fails to find it, she is befriended by Hilda Newton (Anderson), a woman of questionable reputation. | 6,132,704 |

The Tragedy of Mister Morn
The Tragedy of Mister Morn is a verse drama by Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The play is one of his first major works.
The drama was written between 1923 and 1924, completed while Nabokov was living in Prague with his mother and sister as émigrés, having fled Russia because of the October Revolution in 1917. Nabokov had experienced a personal tragedy the previous year, when his father had been killed in Berlin while shielding fellow expatriate Pavel Milyukov from an assassination attempt. The play was posthumously published in the Russian literary magazine "Zvezda", and was first published in English by Penguin Classics in 2012. The "Zvezda" version of the play, | 6,132,707 |
37324209 | The Tragedy of Mister Morn | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Tragedy%20of%20Mister%20Morn | The Tragedy of Mister Morn
compared with the manuscript given to the Library of Congress by Nabokov in the 1950s, is known to be rife with errors.
The story is set in the future, in an unnamed European country. The protagonist of the drama is Morn, a masked king, whose ascent to the throne has brought peace and stability to the country. He falls in love with Midia, the wife of the revolutionary Ganus. Ganus returns to the capital city after escaping from a labour camp. Learning of his wife's affair with Morn, he challenges Morn to a duel. Morn loses the duel, settled with playing cards, and is obliged to kill himself. He refuses, and runs off with Midia, while the revolutionaries overthrow the government in his absence, | 6,132,708 |

's affair with Morn, he challenges Morn to a duel. Morn loses the duel, settled with playing cards, and is obliged to kill himself. He refuses, and runs off with Midia, while the revolutionaries overthrow the government in his absence, replacing the benign monarchy with a dictatorship.
Brian Boyd, in his biography "Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years", writes that, unlike Nabokov's prior four plays, which were influenced by Alexander Pushkin, the style and atmosphere of "Morn" "unmistakably aims at Shakespeare." In the tragedy, Siggy Frank, author of "Nabokov's Theatrical Imagination", suggests that the king's role as ruler of a kingdom is a symbol of the poet's role as an artistic creator. | 6,132,709 |

Anatomography is an interactive website which supports generating anatomical diagrams and animations of the human body. The Anatomography website is maintained by the DBCLS (Database Center for Life Science) non-profit research institute located at the University of Tokyo. Anatomical diagrams generated by Anatomography, and 3D polygon data used on the website (called BodyParts3D), are freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.
# Description.
Anatomography was launched on Feb. 9, 2009 by founder and chief director Kousaku Okubo (), professor of the DNA Data Bank of Japan at the National Institute of Genetics.
Human body polygon data used in the | 6,132,723 |
37324211 | Anatomography | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatomography | Anatomography
site are called "BodyParts3D". BodyParts3D polygon data are extracted from full-body MRI images. The MRI image set that BodyParts3D is based on is called "TARO". Taro is a common given name for males in Japanese, as John is in English. TARO is a 2mm * 2mm * 2mm voxel dataset of the human male created by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. TARO was published freely on November, 2004.
The construction process of BodyParts3D is as follows.
- Phase 1: Additional anatomical segmentations were introduced in the original TARO data.
- Phase 2: Then, missing details were supplemented and blurred contours were clarified using a 3D editing program by referring to textbooks, | 6,132,724 |
37324211 | Anatomography | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anatomography | Anatomography
atlases, and mock-up models by medical illustrators.
- Phase 3: Further segmentation and data modification will continue in collaboration with clinical researchers until sufficient concept coverage is achieved.
BodyParts3D polygon data are distributed in the OBJ file format. The entire data file's size is 127 MB (polygon reduced) and 521 MB (high quality) as of version 3.0. The number of body parts (organs) registered in BodyParts3D is 1,523 as of version 3.0.

Sebastopol (band)
Sebastopol is an English alternative rock band originating from London. The band consists of Nick Powell (lead vocals and bass guitar), Phil Richards (guitars) and Tom Standage (drums).
# Formation.
The band formed in 2010 following an unusual incident the previous year when Powell found himself dangerously marooned in the North Atlantic while making a television documentary. That experience and what Powell described as "the consequent feeling of helplessness" prompted him to write a collection of songs based around the lyrical themes of being lost, and, specifically, lost at sea. After signing to Warm Fuzz Records, these songs were recorded and became the debut album "Hello | 6,132,733 |
37324243 | Sebastopol (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sebastopol%20(band) | Sebastopol (band)
All Stations, This Is Zero" which was released in 2012.
## Band Name.
The band's name "Sebastopol" reportedly comes from the open D guitar tuning exclusively used by Richards on all Sebastopol recordings which is traditionally called "sebastopol" after the traditional song "The Siege of Sebastopol" composed in that tuning by the 19th Century artist and composer Henry Worrall.
# Hello All Stations, This Is Zero.
The band's first album "Hello All Stations, This Is Zero" was released in September 2012. It was well received by reviewers, with one commenting that it would be "cited by singers and songwriters for years to come." Comparisons have been drawn with The Police, with a commentator noting | 6,132,734 |
37324243 | Sebastopol (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sebastopol%20(band) | Sebastopol (band)
the "space in the sound", the high quality of the songwriting, and the fact that Sebastopol has a power trio configuration.
## Album Title.
The album's title "Hello All Stations, This Is Zero" is taken from a wartime radio call signal from the 1940s signalling the start of a message. However, the number "zero" being written out is apparently poetic licence since, according to the command protocol for imposing radio silence, the actual spoken phrase should be "Hello all stations, this is 0"
## Inspiration.
Powell, who is the band's main songwriter, has revealed in a number of radio and press interviews the unusual circumstances and inspiration behind the album. In 2009 he found himself marooned | 6,132,735 |
37324243 | Sebastopol (band) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sebastopol%20(band) | Sebastopol (band)
on Sable Island, a very small and extremely remote island in the North Atlantic. This lasted a number of weeks during which time Powell's life was in constant danger. The tracks "Send The Boats" and "Take Me Home" directly refer to this experience with the other songs being more loosely linked thematically.

Sebastopol are occasionally referred to as "The Masters of Monochrome" in radio and press interviews, due to all band artwork and photographs being only produced in black and white. The nickname | 6,132,736 |

was first coined in 2012 by journalist Cameron Smith after Sebastopol insisted that video he had just shot of them be converted to black and white as a condition of its being released. This nickname was then repeated on BBC Radio Bristol by hosts Livvy and Chrissie who professed to be bemused that all band members turned up for a radio interview fully dressed in black and white clothes from the 1940s.
# Involvement with Mick Glossop.
Sebastopol's debut album was produced by the band but mixed by Mick Glossop who has worked extensively with punk and post-punk artists including Public Image Limited and The Wonderstuff. In December 2012 the band revealed in a BBC interview that they were working | 6,132,737 |

Lease (computer science)
In computer science, a Lease is a contract that gives its holder specified rights to some resource for a limited period. Because it is time-limited, a lease is an alternative to a lock for resource serialization.
# Motivation.
A traditional resource lock is granted until it is explicitly released by the locking client process. Reasons why a lock might not be released include:
- The client failed before releasing the resources
- The client deadlocked while attempting to allocate another resource
- The client was blocked or delayed for an unreasonable period
- The client neglected to free the resource, perhaps due to a bug
- The request to free the resource was | 6,132,739 |
37324443 | Lease (computer science) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lease%20(computer%20science) | Lease (computer science)
lost
- The resource manager failed or lost track of the resource stated
Any of these could end the availability of an important reusable resource until the system is reset. By contract, a lease is valid for a limited period, after which it automatically expires, making the resource available for reallocation by a new client.
# History.
The term 'lease' was applied to this concept in a 1989 paper by Cary G. Gray and David R. Cheriton, but similar concepts (expiring tokens and breakable locks with timeouts) had been used in prior systems.
# Problems.
Leases are commonly used in distributed systems for applications ranging from DHCP address allocation to file locking, but they are not (by | 6,132,740 |
37324443 | Lease (computer science) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lease%20(computer%20science) | Lease (computer science)
ed in distributed systems for applications ranging from DHCP address allocation to file locking, but they are not (by themselves) a complete solution:
- There must be some means of notifying the lease holder of the expiration and preventing that agent from continuing to rely on the resource. Often, this is done by requiring all requests to be accompanied by an access token, which is invalidated if the associated lease has expired.
- If a lease is revoked after the lease holder has started operating on the resource, revocation may leave the resource in a compromised state. In such situations, it is common to use Atomic transactions to ensure that updates that do not complete have no effect. | 6,132,741 |

Richard Duke (English lawyer)
Richard Duke (c. 15151572) was a lawyer and served as Clerk of the Court of Augmentations which position assisted him in acquiring large grants of former monastic lands in the West Country following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. He served as MP for Weymouth in 1545 and for Dartmouth in 1547 and as Sheriff of Devon in 1563–64.
# Origins.
He was the eldest son of Henry Duke, son of a merchant of Exeter, Devon, by his wife Maud White, daughter of Roger White. The Duke family had been settled at Otterton in south Devon from the time of King Edward III (1327–1377).
# Career.
He studied law at the Inner Temple where he was admitted on 8 February 1533. In 1536 | 6,132,742 |
37324195 | Richard Duke (English lawyer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard%20Duke%20(English%20lawyer) | Richard Duke (English lawyer)
the Court of Augmentations was established by King Henry VIII to manage the properties reverting to the crown following the Dissolution of the Monasteries and Duke was appointed for life as Clerk of the Court of Augmentations, which position he held until the court's abolition in 1554, upon which he was compensated for his loss of office with an annuity of £133 6s 8d.
# Land purchases.
Almost immediately following his appointment as Clerk of the Court of Augmentations he acquired his first grant of former monastic lands when in December 1536 he was granted a lease of Pilton Priory in north Devon. On 5 February 1540 he made a larger acquisition when he purchased the lands of the dissolved Otterton | 6,132,743 |

Priory near the south Devon coast, which comprised a large part of the country surrounding the estuary and lower course of the River Otter. He made Otterton Priory his home and it continued as the principal residence of the Duke family, which held the estate until 1786 when it was sold to Denys Rolle of Bicton, thus making him eventually the largest landowner in Devon. The estate remains largely intact as the core landholding of Baron Clinton's 55,000-acre Devon estate, whose family was the heir of the Rolles. The catalogue entry of the record of the grant in the Patent Rolls is summarised as follows:

In 1542 he acquired the manor of Templecombe in Somerset and in 1544 Brownsea Island in Dorset. In 1546 with his brother John Duke he acquired Collaton Abbot, Devon and received by royal grant for himself Upper Budleigh and with his brother other manors in Devon and Somerset.
In 1550 Duke purchased from Sir Andrew Dudley, KG (c. 1507 – 1559), the "lordships and Manors of Bishops Teignton, Radway and West "Teyngmouth" | 6,132,746 |
37324195 | Richard Duke (English lawyer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard%20Duke%20(English%20lawyer) | Richard Duke (English lawyer)
and the rectories and church of Bishops Teignton and Radway". A chief rent of £20 was payable to Dudley after the death of "John, Bishop of Exeter", presumably Bishop John Vesey (died 1554). The purchase included the manor of "Lyndrygge" (Lindridge House).
# Purchase of chantries.
Duke purchased in 1548, with Thomas Bell (1486–1566), cap manufacturer and thrice Mayor of Gloucester, the former chantry of St. Catherine established at that saint's altar in St. Mary de Crypt Church, Gloucester. It had been established by the will of Garet van Eck in 1506 and comprised originally 100 marks, a house, vestments and plate. Its income in 1548 was £7 6s 4d, swelled by endowments subsequently received, | 6,132,747 |
37324195 | Richard Duke (English lawyer) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard%20Duke%20(English%20lawyer) | Richard Duke (English lawyer)
including a stable and garden in the city and property in Lydney and Ripple, Worcestershire. Duke and Bell also purchased in 1548 a former obit for Richard Manchester, which owned a tenement producing income of 22s.
# Marriage and progeny.
Richard Duke married twice:
- Firstly, before April 1539 to Elizabeth Franke, daughter of John Franke of Yorkshire, by whom he had one daughter:
- Christina Duke (died 1608) who married twice:
- Firstly to George Cobham ("alias" Brooke) (1533 – c. 1569), MP, 2nd son of George Brooke, 9th Baron Cobham (c. 1497 – 1558), KG
- Secondly to Gregory Sprint, MP for Shaftesbury in 1586 and Bridport in 1589, the son from her first marriage of her father's second | 6,132,748 |

wife Joan Hoby. He was from a modest background, the son of John Sprint, an apothecary of Bristol, and by his marriage he acquired considerable wealth. His residences became two of the manors acquired by Duke, Templecombe and Colaton Raleigh. He became involved in legal and physical disputes over the ownership of Templecombe, where he had built his residence, with his wife's sons from her first marriage, Duke Brooke and Peter Brooke.
- Secondly shortly after April 1562, as her 3rd husband, to Joan Hoby, daughter of Thomas Hoby (or Halby) of London and widow successively of William Pantin of London and John Sprint, apothecary of Bristol. He had by his second wife a son who died in infancy. She | 6,132,749 |

married fourthly Roger Gifford.
# Death and succession.
Duke died on 8 September 1572. He died intestate but had settled his lands on trustees in 1562 of which trust the beneficiary at his death was his nephew Richard II Duke (died 1607), the son of his brother John Duke "of Pinne", (now Pinn Barton Farm about 3 miles NE of Otterton) who thus inherited Otterton and his other lands. His daughter Christina inherited most of his personal estate. Richard II Duke married Katherine Prideaux, the daughter of George Prideaux of Nutwell.
In 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh asked "Mr. Duke, of Otterton", to sell him "Hayes", the property inherited in the 15th century from the Poer or Power family. Aubrey copied | 6,132,750 |

his written request, long preserved by the Duke family at Otterton and seen there by Polwhele shortly before 1793. Raleigh wrote the letter from the Court, on 26 July 1584, and signed it "by Mr. Duke's very willing frinde in all I shal be able, W. Ralegh". The text is as follows:
""Mr Duke—I wrote to Mr Prideux to move yow for the purchase of Hayes a farme som tyme in my fathers possession. I will most willingly geve yow what so ever in your conscience yow shall deeme it worth: and if yow shall att any tyme have occasion to use mee, yow Shall find mee a thanckfull frind to yow and yours.

Duke refused his offer, according to Polwhele "not choosing to have so great a man for so near a neighbour".
The son and heir of Richard II Duke was Richard III Duke (1567 – 19 April 1641), whose monumental | 6,132,752 |

monumental brass plaque survives in Otterton Church. He married Margaret Bassett, a daughter of Sir Arthur Bassett (1541–1586), MP, of Umberleigh, Devon, (whose chest tomb exists in Atherington Church) by his wife Eleanor Chichester. An elaborate stone monument sculpted with strapwork decoration, showing the prominent date "1589" exists against the east wall in the south transept of Otterton Church. At its top it shows the arms of Duke impaling Bassett, with the Duke crest above, mutilated. The date 1589 appears to refer to the date of their marriage.

Carrapateira, Aljezur
Carrapateira is a village on the western coast of the Algarve, Portugal. Administratively, it is part of the civil parish of Bordeira, within the municipality of Aljezur, in the Faro District. Its landmarks include an old fort and a church. The nearby beaches are a popular surfing destination.
# Geography.
Carrapateira lies by road northwest of Lagos and northwest of Faro. It is located along the N268 road. To the northeast is the village of Bordeira while the village of Vilarinha lies to the southeast. A small stream named Ribeira da Carrapateira flows through the village, and it is surrounded by the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park.

hilly, dry and barren area, with only a small river and a few wells, Carrapeteira never supported a large population. It was traditionally a hamlet conjoined in a single parish with nearby Raposeira, dependent on the municipality of Vila do Bispo (until 1855) and then Lagos. In September 1861, the parish of Carrapateira was conjoined to Bordeira, both deducted from Lagos and transferred to the municipality of Alzejur.
Carrapateira sits on a small indented headland of limestone cliffs on the western Vincentine coast of the Algarve. Carrapateira point, or Pontal, was a traditional danger for sailing ships, its high reddish rock formations looking deceptively similar to Cape St. Vincent, the southwest | 6,132,768 |

The extremely fast southbound current and the jutting headland that made it a dangerous lure for shipwrecks in the past also creates the conditions which have made it a popular surfing destination in recent years. To the north of the Carrapateira headland is the vast Praia da Bordeira, regarded as one of the best beaches in Portugal, "noted for its rugged limestone cliffs and extensive sand dunes". to the south is the Praia do Amado, highly popular with surfers. The village contains the Carrapateira Surfhouse, offering surf courses for beginners and guided surf tours.

stretch of coast prompted a petition by local residents for protection. A small fort was erected on an overseeing hill in 1673 by Nuno da Cunha de Ataíde, Count of Pontével, the Governor and Captain-General of the Algarve. The walls of the fort were built to enclose the pre-existing parish church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, a structure of popular Algarvian design with some Manueline traces dating from the 16th century. In 1742, during the reign of John V, the fort was rebuilt on the orders of Jerónimo de Ataíde, Count of Atouguia, governor of the Algarve. It was a square fortress with a bastion on each corner, typically defended by six coastal cannons or mortars. In the aftermath of the 1755 | 6,132,770 |

John V, the fort was rebuilt on the orders of Jerónimo de Ataíde, Count of Atouguia, governor of the Algarve. It was a square fortress with a bastion on each corner, typically defended by six coastal cannons or mortars. In the aftermath of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the church suffered some damage, which was the beginning of the structure's slow deterioration. Despite occasional repairs, by 1792 the fort was reported to be in ruins and the cannons unserviceable. It was decommissioned by 1822.
Excavations carried out in 2001 to the southwest of the town identified a small fishing village dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries at the end of the period of Muslim occupation in the Algarve. | 6,132,771 |

Monastery of Saint Maron
The Monastery of Saint Maron (), also called the Cave of the monks, is an ancient cavern - used as a Maronite monastery - carved out of solid rock in the side of a cliff, located around from Ain ez Zarqa, the source of the Orontes river, and south of Hermel in Baalbek-Hermel Governorate, northern Lebanon. It is named after Saint Maron whose life and works at the location is associated with the establishment of the Maronite Church.
# History.
The cavern-monastery is situated above the river. Probably was initially created during the second century and used as a small refuge for worship in the mountains. It consists of three levels with rock stairways, numerous altars, | 6,132,786 |
37324663 | Monastery of Saint Maron | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monastery%20of%20Saint%20Maron | Monastery of Saint Maron
and small cells, suggested to have been the residence of Saint Maron and his early followers in the fourth century AD, during the foundation of the Maronite Church. It is suggested that Maron worked and even died in the monastery.
Even if greatly damaged during Arab conquest of the region, later occupation in Mamluk and Ottoman empire periods is attested by loopholes cut into the walls. The monastery is commonly thought to have been constructed by Romans, however the date, builders and origins of the structure are not certain.
The structure has fallen into disrepair, having been used as shelter for sheep, goats, and the occasional shepherd over the years.

The Maronite Archdiocese has retained rights to renovate the landmark and has stated intentions to begin a restoration project.
The site has only reported to have been cleaned and no work has started on the monument, even if suggested to be of ""national"" importance.

Shining Hour
Shining Hour is an album by guitarist Larry Coryell which was recorded in 1989 and released on the Muse label.
# Reception.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Larry Coryell will always be best known for arguably being the first fusion guitarist, but his career has been quite wide-ranging ever since the late '60s. On "Shining Hour", he mostly sticks to jazz standards ... Coryell, whose playing works well in this (for him) rare setting although he is not really a boppish improviser".

Hypokalemic sensory overstimulation
Hypokalemic sensory overstimulation is characterized by a subjective experience of sensory overload and a relative resistance to lidocaine local anesthesia. The sensory overload is treatable with oral potassium gluconate. Individuals with this condition are sometimes diagnosed as having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), raising the possibility that a subtype of ADHD has a cause that can be understood mechanistically and treated in a novel way.
It is not to be confused with hot tooth syndrome.
# Cause.
Hypokalemic sensory overstimulation is a term coined by MM Segal and colleagues to describe a syndrome of sensory overstimulation, ineffectiveness | 6,132,792 |

of the local anesthetic lidocaine, and in females, premenstrual syndrome. This initial report was followed by discussion in a second article of tens of families with apparent autosomal dominant inheritance of this condition. The similarities were described clinically to ADHD and mechanistically and therapeutically to disorders of ion channels, in particular to the muscle disorder hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Some females with premenstrual syndrome may have the same autosomal dominant disorder underlying their symptoms.

Diagnosis.
A test for lidocaine ineffectiveness was briefly described in the 2014 paper but the controlled trial has not yet been completed.
# Treatment.
The use of oral potassium and avoiding high carbohydrate meals can help treat it according to recent tests, following the same approach that is standard for the muscle disease hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Since this condition includes ineffectiveness of the sodium-channel blocker lidocaine, the amide-type local anesthetic used in dental care articaine was tested and found to be effective in one member of the family. No data about other local anesthetics effective in these individuals for non-dental procedures has yet been published. | 6,132,794 |
