In children potentially fulfilling the criteria for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), phenotypical assessment does not sufficiently predict the diagnostic outcome (i.e. DCD or an alternative diagnosis). Due to the lack of distinguishing clinical and diagnostic features and the high prevalence of genetic diagnoses in these patients, additional ...

Vitamin B12 in Cats: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Disease
Cobalamin is a water-soluble molecule that has an important role in cellular metabolism, especially in DNA synthesis, methylation, and mitochondrial metabolism. Cobalamin is bound by intrinsic factor (IF) and absorbed in the ileal tract.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Cyclic β-glucans at the bacteria–host cells interphase: One sugar ring to rule them all [PDF]
Cyclic β‐1,2‐D‐glucans (CβG) are natural bionanopolymers present in the periplasmic space of many Proteobacteria. These molecules are sugar rings made of 17 to 25 D‐glucose units linked exclusively by β‐1,2‐glycosidic bonds.

ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LTx) has become, over the years, an increasingly used therapeutic option in patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Initially performed for Tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, it now accounts as the second indication for pediatric transplants worldwide. The use of LTx has been extended

Metabolic phenotype of methylmalonic acidemia in mice and humans: the role of skeletal muscle
Background Mutations in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase cause methylmalonic acidemia, a common organic aciduria. Current treatment regimens rely on dietary management and, in severely affected patients, liver or combined liver-kidney transplantation.

Propionic Acidemia: Gray Matter Disease Meets Subcortical Leukodystrophy
ABSTRACT Imaging literature on propionic acidemia (PA) is predominantly concerned with deep gray matter changes. In order to investigate the spectrum and patterns of MRI changes, 45 MRI scans of 13 patients (0.31–33.2 years) were systematically analyzed. Deep and cortical gray matter changes were associated with acute metabolic decompensation. Striatum

Perinatal Gene Transfer to the Liver [PDF]
The liver acts as a host to many functions hence raising the possibility that any one may be compromised by a single gene defect. Inherited or de novo mutations in these genes may result in relatively mild diseases or be so devastating that death within

Trial Readiness: Understanding the Natural History of Rare Diseases
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) represent the largest and still growing group of treatable genetic disorders and are increasingly amenable to targeted interventions that achieve varying degrees of prognostic improvement. Innovative therapies are on the horizon and offer promising opportunities for disease‐changing treatment for a variety of
