Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by more than 500 pathogenic variants in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. Due to these mutations, affected individuals have reduced activity or complete deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, which metabolizes the
Phenylketonuria is rare genetic disease caused by mutation in gene of phenylalanine (Phe) hydroxylase that converts Phenylalanine into tyrosine. The absence of this enzyme leads to elevation and accumulation of Phenylalanine and, increased phenylketones in urine (hence PKU), and also leads to
Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
Preeclampsia constitutes a heterogeneous multisystemic disorder defined by the new onset of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation.1 The incidence of preeclampsia in Switzerland is estimated at 2.31 % of pregnancies (95% CI 1.62-3.28%), about 1'911 cases/year can be expected to
The key aspects in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia are placental oxidative stress (and hypoxia), placental release of the anti-angiogenic factors Soluble Fms Like Tyrosine Kinase -1 and soluble endoglin and maternal endothelial dysfunction. A drug that can counter these pathological steps could
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) or TSC2 tumor suppressor genes. TSC is characterized by tumors in a wide range of tissues, seizures, mental retardation, autism, and organ failure. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Preeclampsia is a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks' postpartum. It is clinically defined by as blood pressure ≥140 mmHg systolic and ≥90 mmHg diastolic diagnosed for the first time after
Within 4 weeks of completing screening assessments to determine eligibility, subjects will be enrolled in the study. The study will be conducted in two parts.
Part 1: After screening, all subjects will be followed for two weeks without modification of their baseline medical or dietary care.
Part 2:
BACKGROUND:
1. Delayed ischaemia deficits in subarachnoid haemorrhage
Seven thousand patients suffer SAH each year within the UK with young adults (<55 years) being equally affected. Cerebral vasospasm and related cerebral ischemia are the major causes of delayed morbidity and mortality in patients
