This book focuses on clinical presentations that may be caused by inherited metabolic diseases. Its symptom- and system-based approach will help clinicians with and without detailed knowledge of human biochemistry in all specialties to reach a correct diagnosis and institute the optimal treatment program. The book summarizes the central elements of inherited metabolic diseases and describes clearly how to carry out an efficient yet complete diagnostic work-up, thereby guiding the clinician from the presenting symptoms and signs through to effective initial management. After an introduction to the different disorders, the book explains when to consider an inborn metabolic error and which initial tests to order. Core aspects such as structured communication, guidelines, transition, pregnancy, maternal care and how to respond to various medical emergencies are covered. Therapeutic concepts such as dietary treatment are delineated and practical advice provided on the quite different treatment ...

In the past, the management of several inherited metabolic diseases was limited to support therapy of individual symptoms. The past decade has witnessed extraordinary innovation in the treatment of several inherited metabolic diseases with different approaches now available in pre-clinical and clinical testing, including enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), substrate reduction and haematopoietic stem cells transplantation [1]. More innovative strategies, such as pharmacological chaperone therapy and gene therapy, are under investigation for selected inherited metabolic diseases [135-137].. The effect of therapeutic interventions on the respiratory manifestations of specific inherited metabolic disease has been documented by several studies. A therapeutic role of BAL aimed at reducing the accumulation of abnormal metabolites within airways has been hypothesised in some inherited metabolic diseases, although its effectiveness is still under debate. In a patient with Niemann-Pick type C disease with ...

Rationale: Chemotherapy administration before a donor stem cell transplant is necessary to stop the patients immune system from rejecting the donors stem cells. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, the donor white blood cells can provide the missing enzyme that causes the metabolic disease. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the bodys normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, alemtuzumab, before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening. This may be an effective treatment for inherited metabolic disorders.. Purpose: The design of this study is to achieve donor cell engraftment in patients with standard-risk inherited metabolic diseases with limited peri-transplant morbidity and mortality. This will be achieved through the administration of the chemotherapy regimen described. The intention is to follow transplanted patient for years after ...

Two new studies of overweight and obese adults identified new relationships between fat and cardiometabolic risk. In the first study, women with deep belly fat, as well as fat in their muscles and livers, were found to be at greater risk for cardiometabolic disease, such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke, compared to men. In the second study, young adults-and particularly women-with low muscle mass in relation to BMI were found to be at greater risk for cardiometabolic disease.

HIIT increased the VO2peak by 5.4(19.4%) compared with 2.6 mL/kg/min (10.3%) with MICT. It has been shown that a 1-MET (3.5 mL/kg/min) increase is associated with 10-25% improvement in survival.17 Indeed, the protective role of fitness occurs even in the presence of established cardiovascular disease risk factors.32 CRF is an easily modifiable risk factor; therefore, identifying the most effective way to improve VO2peak should be a health priority.. Some of the studies investigated mechanisms explaining the greater improvement of the VO2peak with HIIT. Peripheral adaptations leading to improvements in CRF were investigated by measuring PGC-1α and Ca2+ reuptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum in the skeletal muscles. Mitochondrial dysfunction is central to most chronic diseases and could play a vital role in the reduced CRF that is experienced by these populations. Improvements in mitochondrial biogenesis have been demonstrated by increases in PGC-1α after a single bout of low volume HIIT.33 ...

Metabolic disorders can be present at birth, and many can be identified by routine screening. If a metabolic disorder is not identified early, then it may be diagnosed later in life, when symptoms appear. Specific blood and DNA tests can be done to diagnose genetic metabolic disorders.[2]. The gut microbiota, which is a population of microorganisms that live in the human digestive system, also has an important part in metabolism and generally has a positive function for its host. In terms of pathophysiological/mechanism interactions, an abnormal gut microbioma can play a role in metabolic disorder related obesity.[8]. ...

Common disease of the arteries in which patches (plaques) consisting mostly of cholesterol and other lipids form on the inner arterial wall. The effect of these deposits is that the vessels become rigid and narrowed, leading to a reduced flow of blood.. Narrowing of arteries in different parts of the body leads to different problems. If arteries in the heart (coronary arteries) become narrowed it can lead to a heart attack. If arteries leading to the brain become narrowed, the result can be a stroke. Atherosclerosis in the legs can lead to problems with ulcers in the feet and toes.. Atherosclerosis is associated with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and some inherited metabolic diseases. In some cases, segments of blocked arteries may be surgically bypassed (as in coronary bypass surgery). Preventive measures include cessation of smoking, a low-fat diet, exercise, and avoidance of stress. ...

The specific factors that can cause this increased risk include: obesity (particularly central), hyperglycemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipoproteinemia. When patients have one or more risk factors and are physically inactive or smoke, the cardiometabolic risk is increased even more. Medical conditions that often share the above characteristics, such as type 2 diabetes, can also increase cardiometabolic risk. The primary focus of cardiometabolic risk treatment is management of each high risk factor, including dyslipoproteinemia, hypertension, and diabetes. The management of these subjects is based principally on lifestyle measures, but various antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, insulin sensitizing, anti-obesity and antiplatelet drugs could be helpful in reducing cardiometabolic risk.. ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of death worldwide. More than half of the patients suffering from heart failure (HF) have coexisting comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension. Amongst the comorbidities, the emerging prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, has led us to urgently focus on this therapeutic area.

researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania identified genome-wide changes caused by a high-fat diet.. The a team, led by Raymond Soccio, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of Medicine, and Mitchell Lazar, MD, PhD, director the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism, published their findings online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI), in addition to an Authors Take video.. We focused on the epigenome, the part of the genome that doesnt code for proteins but governs gene expression, Lazar said.. Their research suggests that people who may be genetically susceptible to obesity and type 2 diabetes due to low levels of a protein that helps cells burn fat, may benefit from treatments that ultimately increase the fat-burning molecule.. The team looked at the interplay of genes and environment in two types of white fat tissue, subcutaneous fat (under the skin) versus visceral fat around abdominal organs. The latter correlates strongly with ...

You can develop a metabolic disorder if certain organs - for instance, the pancreas or the liver - stop functioning properly. These kinds of disorders can be a result of genetics, a deficiency in a certain hormone or enzyme, consuming too much of certain foods, or a number of other factors.. There are hundreds of genetic metabolic disorders caused by mutations of single genes. These mutations can be passed down through generations of families. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), certain racial or ethnic groups are more likely to pass on mutated genes for particular inborn disorders. The most common of these are:. ...
