The case is described of a boy with the Kleine-Levin syndrome in whom prominent behavioural disturbances and the initial absence of a clear cyclical pattern obscured the diagnosis. Treatment with lithium was effective.

Based on 339 cases this review identifies, quantifies and compares 4 clinical forms of recurrent hypersomnia (1) Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) (239 cases), (2) Kleine-Levin syndrome without compulsive eating (KLS WOCE) (54 cases), (3) Menstrual related hypersomnia (MRH) (18 cases) and Recurrent hypersomnia with comorbidity (RHC) (28 cases). A second part of the review considers the main current i...

Higher twist corrections to hadronic interactions become increasingly important at high energies. An effective way to resum all these contributions is the color glass condensate picture. We review the Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi (KLN)[1] approach to heavy ion collisions, which has successfully been applied to RHIC physics, and extrapolate this model to Iron-air collisions at energies up to the GZK (≈ ...

Two familial cases of spondylothoracic dysostosis are reported. Both cases had severe congenital heart disease in addition to the skeletal malformations which are characteristic of the condition.
