Fatal Hyperammonemic Brain Injury from Valproic Acid Exposure [PDF]
Background: Hyperammonemia is known to cause neuronal injury, and can result from valproic acid exposure. Prompt reduction of elevated ammonia levels may prevent permanent neurological injury.

Clinical biological and genetic heterogeneity of the inborn errors of pulmonary surfactant metabolism [PDF]
Pulmonary surfactant is a multimolecular complex located at the air-water interface within the alveolus to which a range of physical (surface-active properties) and immune functions has been assigned. This complex consists of a surface-active lipid layer

Expanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Limits: Biallelic SPAST Variants in Cerebral Palsy Mimics
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare neurodegenerative disorders marked by spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common type, SPG4, is usually autosomal dominant and caused by SPAST gene variants, typically presenting as pure HSP.

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

Diagnostic pitfalls in neonatal hypertyrosinemia: a case report
Hypertyrosinemia results from abnormality in tyrosine metabolism. Acquired hypertyrosinemia is notably more common than inherited types and typically presents with profile suggestive of secondary aetiology on biochemical testing.

Nutritional Management in Severe Methylmalonic and Propionic Acidemias: How Much Medical Food Is Too Much? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are inherited metabolic disorders affecting valine and isoleucine catabolism. Long‐term therapy mainly involves dietary protein restriction. An amino acid mixture (AAM, medical food) free of the precursor amino acids is frequently used, especially when protein intake does not reach World

Aminosäuren – Leitlinie Parenterale Ernährung, Kapitel 4 [PDF]
Protein catabolism should be reduced and protein synthesis promoted with parenteral nutrion (PN). Amino acid (AA) solutions should always be infused with PN. Standard AA solutions are generally used, whereas specially adapted AA solutions may be required
