Infants at the age of 1-20 mo admitted to infancy clinic of authors' hospital between January 2011-2013 with various clinical presentations due to vitamin B12 deficiency were included in the study.
Clonazepam or 5-(2-chlorphenyl)-1, 3-dihydro-7-nitro-2H-1,4benzodiazepin-2-one, is a close structural and pharmacological relative of nitrazepam. It has a broad spectrum of activity against the various types of epilepsy, and is effective in many patients whose condition has proved resistant to other
Biotinidase (BTD) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease, which develops neurological and cutaneous symptoms because of the impaired biotin recycling. Pathogenic mutations on BTD gene cause BTD deficiency. Clinical features and mutation analysis of Chinese children with BTD
BACKGROUND
Neuromuscular diseases progress to pathologic conditions which reveal structural or functional lesions of the elements forming the motor unit of the body. Typical clinical symptoms include muscle weakness, muscle flaccidity, pareses, and partial or total loss of reflexes. Excessive

Therapeutic advances derived from targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors can improve melanoma prognosis. Since 2015, cobimetinib has been approved in combination with vemurafenib in the first-line treatment for BRAF-mutated melanoma. For NRAS-mutated melanomas, MEK inhibition seems to be
Muscle diseases are an expanding field, mainly due to the progress in genetics and biochemistry. Evaluation starts with a thorough history of the patient's symptoms and signs. The leading clinical manifestations are weakness, atrophy, myalgia, fatigue, more rarely myotonia and in the child hypotonia
Sepiapterin reductase (SR) catalyses the last step in the tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis pathway; it converts 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin (6-PTP) to BH(4) in an NADPH-dependent reaction. SR deficiency is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder with normal phenylalanine (Phe) concentration in

Since MRD is the major cause for relapses of malignant diseases, strategies utilizing ITs to target tumor cells surviving conventional treatment have attracted scientific and clinical interest. Many different ITs against various blood-borne as well as solid malignancies have demonstrated specific
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a family of 209 chemicals with two linked phenyl rings and variable chlorination. They are clear oils at room temperature. They were produced from the 1930s until banned in the 1970s because of toxicity and evidence of widespread environmental contamination. They
Children with genetic syndromes frequently have feeding problems and swallowing dysfunction as a result of the complex interactions between anatomical, medical, physiological, and behavioral factors. Feeding problems associated with genetic disorders may also cause feeding to be unpleasant,
