Den EFHC1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called EF-hand domain containing protein 1 (EFHC1). The EFHC1 protein interacts with another protein that acts as a calcium channel, allowing positively charged calcium atoms (calcium ions) to cross the cell membrane. The movement of these ions is critical for normal signaling between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and other parts of the nervous system. The role of the EFHC1 protein is not well understood, although it is thought to help regulate the balance of calcium ions inside the cell (calcium homeostasis). Studies also show that the EFHC1 protein may stimulate the self-destruction of cells (apoptosis).

Fingertoppenheter för topikala steroider
Topical steroids are used for various skin conditions. The amount of topical steroid that you should apply is commonly measured by fingertip units. Topical steroids are creams, ointments and lotions which contain steroid drugs. Unlike many other creams and ointments, it is important to get the dose right when using topical steroids, to avoid.

Hand-arm vibrationssyndrom
Hand-arm vibrationssyndrom (sometimes abbreviated to HAVS) causes changes in the sensation of the fingers which can lead to permanent numbness of fingers, muscle weakness and, in some cases, bouts of white finger. It is caused by working with vibrating tools. It would be unusual to develop hand-arm vibration syndrome without using vibrating tools.
