A case of idiopathic osteoporosis in a 12-year-old girl has been reported. Quantitative microradiographic studies of a biopsy specimen of iliac crest showed normal bone formation and an almost threefold increase in the level of bone resorption. The patient was observed without treatment, and a spontaneous clinical remission with roentgenographic improvement occurred. A second iliac crest biopsy specimen, obtained 15 months after the initial biopsy at a time when roentgenographic improvement was apparent, showed a return toward normal of the level of bone resorption. Metabolic balance studies conducted at this time showed that the patient was approximately in calcium balance. Because the majority of the previously reported cases have also exhibited spontaneous improvement, it is suggested that initially observation alone is indicated.

In this perspective article, I argue that dissolved organic carbon occupies a central role in the functioning of lake ecosystems, comparable in importance to that played by nutrients. Because lakes receive so much dissolved organic carbon from the terrestrial landscape, its accumulation in water bodies usually represents the largest pool of lacustrine organic matter within the water column. The transformation of even a small fraction of this external carbon by the microbial community can alter significantly the metabolic balance of lake ecosystems, simultaneously releasing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and burying organic carbon in lake sediments. At the landscape level, even if they occupy a small fraction of the landscape, lakes play a surprisingly important role in the regional carbon budget, particularly when considered at the appropriate temporal scale.
