Sodium balance was examined in C. destructor. E. spinifer and E. keirensis to assess the degree of adaptation to fresh water and to permit comparisons with the better known astacoid crayfish of the Northern Hemisphere. The crayfishes had blood ion concentrations close to those reported in the Astacoidea and permeability to sodium ions was similarly low. The affinities of the sodium pumps for sodium ions were relatively low but this was compensated for by an unusually high rate of uptake of sodium following depletion, which enabled sodium balance to be maintained at low external concentrations. Adaptation to fresh water in the species examined is less advanced than in the astacoid species studied.

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JS) is a rare congenital, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a distinctive brain malformation, developmental delay, ocular motor apraxia, breathing abnormalities, and high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We are reporting three siblings with JS from consanguineous parents in Syria. Two of them had the same homozygous c.2172delA (p.Trp725Glyfs*) AHI1 mutation and the third was diagnosed prenatally with magnetic resonance imaging. This pathogenic variant is very rare and described in only a few cases in the literature. Multinational collaboration could be of benefit for the patients from undeveloped, low-income countries that have a low-quality health care system, especially for the diagnosis of rare diseases.
