    Summary: Pinnipeds are marine mammals that include eared seals, true seals, and walruses. This book presents detailed reviews on the ecology and conservation of 10 pinniped species along the coasts and islands in Latin America, from Mexico to Chile and Argentina. Topics covered include their population dynamics, trophic ecology, reproduction, and behavior. In addition, the book addresses major conservation issues regarding climate change, interaction with fisheries, ecotourism, and other human activities.

    Serum diazepam concentration and serum creatine kinase activity (serum CK) were measured in 35 patients (who were divided into three groups (A, B, and C)), over a period of 24 hours after administration of diazepam. An increase in serum CK was regarded as an indication of local muscle injury. In group A, diazepam in a polyethyleneoxydricinolate vehicle was injected intramuscularly; in group B, diazepam in a propyleneglycol-ether alcohol vehicle was injected intramuscularly; and in group C, diazepam was administered orally, combined with intramuscular administration of the vehicle used in group B. The investigation was double-blind and randomized. Serum diazepam absorption expressed as the area under the concentration curve was identical in groups A and C and significantly higher than in group B. Serum CK rose in all groups. The differences among the groups were not significant. There were considerable individual variations in all three groups, and almost half the patients showed no increase in serum CK at all. No negative correlation was found between serum diazepam and serum CK. Thus no effect of muscle injury--if present--on absorption rate could be demonstrated.
