Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

New Strategies for the Treatment of Phenylketonuria (PKU) [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) was the first inherited metabolic disease in which dietary treatment was found to prevent the disease’s clinical features. Treatment of phenylketonuria remains difficult due to progressive decrease in adherence to diet and the presence of neurocognitive defects despite therapy.

New insights into applications of base editor in hereditary disorders
Abstract Hereditary disorders are a group of diseases caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal variations. Although the incidence of each genetic disorder is relatively low, patients affected by the disease generally experience a range of severe symptoms, including blindness, disability, and even premature death. In addition, the available treatments

Unified Neural Lexical Analysis Via Two‐Stage Span Tagging
ABSTRACT Lexical analysis is a fundamental task in natural language processing, which involves several subtasks, such as word segmentation (WS), part‐of‐speech (POS) tagging, and named entity recognition (NER). Recent works have shown that taking advantage of relatedness between these subtasks can be beneficial.

The Prevalence and Incidence of Congenital Phenylketonuria in 59 Countries: A Systematic Review
Context: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most frequent inborn error of metabolism, in which newborns cannot metabolize phenylalanine to tyrosine. Increased phenylalanine in untreated patients with PKU can cause serious intellectual disability; its onerous ...
