George (2004) found that, when compared to controls, subjects with DPN exhibited significantly lower walking velocity, and cadence, as well as impaired reaction time and ability to produce rhythmic limb acceleration (9).
Brittle stars are a moderately popular invertebrate in fishkeeping. They can easily thrive in marine tanks; in fact, the micro brittle star is a common hitchhiker that will propagate and become common in almost any saltwater tank, if one happens to come along on some live rock.
The numbers of brittle stars present and fire worms present together with when they were not present gave a p value of 0.0019. The data suggests that there is a significant association between the fire worm and brittle star species in Rocky Point Mexico.
