Mucopolysaccharidoses -An Adventurous Anaesthetic Encounter
Cases of Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), though rare, may pose many challenges for the anaesthesiologist. Maintaining the airway may be extremely difficult even in the most experienced hands.

Bedside intubation of a child with a difficult airway—The otolaryngologist perspective
Abstract Objectives Children with a difficult airway are prone to severe complications in unplanned intubation events. The otolaryngologist is often required to secure the airway using advanced techniques once the traditional methods have failed to establish safe tracheal intubation.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Treatment of Lysosomal Storage Disorders
ABSTRACT Lysosomal disorders (LSDs) are a group of rare metabolic disorders, with an overall incidence of 1:4800 to 1:8000 live births. LSDs are primarily caused by dysfunctional lysosomal enzymes, which typically lead to the progressive accumulation of substrates within cellular lysosomes.

ABSTRACT Schinzel‐Giedion Syndrome (SGS) is an ultra‐rare, multisystem, genetic developmental disorder caused by gain‐of‐function pathogenic variants in the SETBP1 gene. No standard of care (SoC) recommendations currently exist. To assess expert opinion on SoC for individuals with SGS using a modified Delphi method.

Glycosaminoglycans in the human cornea: age-related changes [PDF]
AIM: To investigate possible age-related changes in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the human cornea. The substances today called GAGs were previously referred to as mucopolysaccharides.
