A 78-year-old woman developed marked insulin lipoatrophy due to conventional bovine insulin injected into the upper limbs. Changing to a combination of highly purified porcine/bovine insulins injected into the lower limbs resulted in the opposite effect, namely insulin-induced lipohypertrophy. Use was then made of this effect by injecting the highly purified insulins into the atrophied upper li...

OBJECTIVES To identify the clinical, electrophysiological, and genetic characteristics of a family with an unusual form of hereditary motor neuron disease. METHODS Surviving members of a pedigree in which affected members presented with weakness and atrophy of distal musculature in the upper limbs were examined clinically and electrophysiologically, and had genetic testing. RESULTS The dise...
