Hereditary fructose intolerance is an autosomal recessive disorder that illustrates vividly the interplay between heredity and environment in the genesis of human nutritional disease. Genetically determined defects of an isozyme of fructose bisphosphate aldolase (aldolase B, which is specialized for
We present the case of a 17-year-old male who was diagnosed at birth with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). The patient complained of morning-time asthenia and post-prandial drowsiness despite a correct sleep pattern. The physical examination and biological check-up only showed severe vitamin C
A cases of myotubular myopathy in a 10 years old girl is reported. Clinically, palpebral ptosis, ocular movements limitation, facial diplegia, positivity of Gower's test, muscular hypotrophy distal, foot drop and deep absent reflexes were found. These signals were described by most of authors,
A 22-year-old man developed transient unconsciousness during running. He developed fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and general fatigue. Next day, he was admitted to National Hospital Nayoro because of high serum CK level of 13,610U/l. Biochemical analyses revealed elevated serum myoglobin,
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is an under-recognized, preventable life-threatening condition. It is an autosomal recessive disorder with subnormal activity of aldolase B in the liver, kidney and small bowel. Symptoms are present only after the ingestion of fructose, which leads to brisk
We observed eight infants with hereditary fructose intolerance which had been diagnosed by the fructose tolerance test and an aldolase assay on biopsied liver. None of these had been diagnosed before their admission to our department. The most frequent symptoms were vomiting and failure to thrive.
In order to diagnose hereditary fructose intolerance up to now, there were only the dangerous fructose-load and the biochemical evidence of this metabolic defect from biopsies of liver, intestine or kidney. Since there are no screening tests nor tests for heterocygote carriers or prenatal diagnostic
Four patients had trichinosis after consuming raw home-butchered pork. The patients had fever, myalgias, periorbital edema, and conjunctivitis. All of the patients had nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (corresponding to the intestinal phase of the infection) seven to ten days before the onset of fever
Rhabdomyolysis (R) is a complex condition involving the rapid dissolution of damaged or injured skeletal muscle. This leads to the direct release of intracellular components, including myoglobin, creatine kinase, aldolase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as electrolytes, into the bloodstream and
Didemnin B (NSC 325,319), a cyclic depsipeptide isolated from a Caribbean tunicate, exhibits potent preclinical antitumor activity. In previous phase I studies, 3.47 mg/m2 was the maximally tolerated dose, with nausea and vomiting being the dose-limiting toxicity. The drug was given in a single
Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI), an autosomal recessive defect of diamino acid transport, is characterized chemically by renal hyperdiaminoaciduria, especially lysinuria, and by impaired formation of urea with hyperammonemia after protein ingestion. Our 20 patients thrived during breast-feeding,
Hereditary fructose intolerance is an autosomal recessive disorder of fructose metabolism caused by catalytic deficiency of aldolase B enzyme [1]. The disease is typically expressed when fructose- and sucrose-containing foods are first introduced in the diet; acute manifestations include nausea,
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the aldolase B gene. HFI patients exhibit nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hypoglycemia, and elevated liver enzymes after dietary fructose exposure. Chronic exposure might lead to failure to thrive,
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is a rare inborn disease characterized by a deficiency in aldolase B, which catalyzes the cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate (Fru 1P) to triose molecules. In patients with HFI, ingestion of fructose results in accumulation of Fru 1P
