Metabolomics: a challenge for detecting and monitoring inborn errors of metabolism.
Timely newborn screening and genetic profiling are crucial in early recognition and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). A proposed nosology of IEMs has inserted 1,015 well-characterized IEMs causing alterations in specific metabolic pathways.

Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia: What is the link?
We report a toddler affected with Angelman syndrome and isovaleric acidemia (IVA). Such association was due to paternal uniparental isodisomy (UPD) of chromosome 15 in which the proband inherited two paternal copies of an IVA gene point mutation. As both

Metabolic Evaluation of Epilepsy: A Diagnostic Algorithm With Focus on Treatable Conditions [PDF]
Although inborn errors of metabolism do not represent the most common cause of seizures, their early identification is of utmost importance, since many will require therapeutic measures beyond that of common anti-epileptic drugs, either in order to ...

AppQ: Warm-starting App Recommendation Based on View Graphs [PDF]
Current app ranking and recommendation systems are mainly based on user-generated information, e.g., number of downloads and ratings. However, new apps often have few (or even no) user feedback, suffering from the classic cold-start problem. How to quickly identify and then recommend new apps of high quality is a challenging issue.
