A 17 Year Old With Developmental Delay Presenting With Increasing Confusion and Imbalance
ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder primarily caused by defects in methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase and cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism. These defects disrupt the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to the abnormal accumulation of metabolic products such as methylmalonic acid, propionic acid,

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?
Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...
