Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Newborn Screening
Since 1961 newborn screening for errors of metabolism (EM) has improved the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of newborns with an EM. Recently, advances in laboratory technology with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has increased the identification of ...

Emergency Management of Intoxication‐Type Inherited Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT In many intoxication‐type inherited metabolic disorders, the accumulation of the toxic chemical can cause acute life‐threatening emergencies. Sometimes this is the inevitable consequence of a severe metabolic defect, but it is often triggered by catabolism.

ABSTRACT Recent advancements in new‐born screening have reduced the risk of life‐threatening complications associated with inherited metabolic disorders. However, the risk of negative psychosocial effects on families persists. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the literature concerning the psychosocial challenges experienced by ...

Screening for inborn errors of metabolism in high-risk children: a 3-year pilot study in Zhejiang Province, China [PDF]
Background Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has been available in China for 8 years. This technique makes it possible to screen for a wide range of previously unscreened inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) using a single test.

This study reported two new cases and characterized the phenotype and genotype of adult‐onset glutaric aciduria Type 1 by literature review, emphasizing subependymal lesions and the coexistence of hyperhomocysteinemia. No clear genotype–phenotype correlation was found in adult‐onset glutaric aciduria Type 1. ABSTRACT Introduction Glutaric aciduria Type

A Study on the Humoral and Complement Immune System of Patients with Organic Acidemia
Patients with organic acidemia are prone to different infections, which lead to acidosis episodes. Some studies have evaluated the status of immune system in acidotic phase in these patients, but to the best of our knowledge no study has evaluated the ...

International consensus definitions for infection‐triggered encephalopathy syndromes
Abstract Aim To develop standardized diagnostic criteria for ‘infection‐triggered encephalopathy syndrome (ITES)’ and five specific clinical syndromes of ITES. Method The draft definitions were based on existing criteria, standardized, and discussed by a panel of international experts using nominal group technique over 18 months to achieve consensus ...
