We present a new digital model (EuCRUST‐07) for the crust of Western and Central Europe and surroundings (35°N–71°N, 25°W–35°E). Available results of seismic reflection, refraction and receiver ...functions studies are assembled in an integrated model at a uniform grid (15′ × 15′). The model consists of three layers: sediments and two layers of the crystalline crust. Besides depth to the boundaries, we provide average P‐wave velocities in the upper and lower parts of the crystalline crust. The new model demonstrates large differences in the Moho depth compared to previous compilations, over ±10 km in some specific areas (e.g. the Baltic Shield). Furthermore, the velocity structure of the crust is much more heterogeneous than in previous maps. EuCRUST‐07 offers a starting point for numerical modeling of deeper structures by allowing correction for crustal effects beforehand and to resolve trade‐off with mantle heterogeneities.
A 53-year-old man had myotonic dystrophy, hyperthyroidism, and Addison's disease, an association not previously reported, to our knowledge. In the literature, at least five cases of hyperthyroidism ...associated with myotonic dystrophy have been described, but none also had Addison's disease. The presence of thyroid anti-microsomal antibodies and anti-adrenal antibodies suggests that the two endocrine disorders may be autoimmune. In our case, the treatment of the two endocrinopathies caused a reduction of myotonic symptoms.
