    Summary: "Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent -- from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers -- he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both."--Publisher's description

    An insulin-dependent diabetic patient received a renal transplant from a living related donor without evidence of rejection. In the posttransplant period, his serum potassium concentration (3.7 to 6.7 mEq/liter) fluctuated widely with the serum glucose concentration (165 to 470 mg/dl) during the day. Serum glucose and potassium concentrations were directly correlated (r = .734, P less than .001). Other factors controlling the serum potassium concentration were examined. Plasma and urinary aldosterone levels were normal, plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels rose during upright activity, and urinary potassium excretion increased with the administration of exogenous mineralocorticoid. Thus, mineralocorticoid secretion and responsiveness were intact. These observations indicate that hyperkalemia in a diabetic patient can occur in the absence of a defect in potassium excretion and are consistent with the interpretation that insulinopenia, as evidenced by hyperglycemia, can result in hyperkalemia due to diminshed translocation of both potassium and glucose from the extracellular to the intracellular compartment.
