A 12-month-old boy diagnosed with propionic acidemia underwent gastrostomy. The patient's general state was good and he was alert, but with reduced muscular tone (unstable when seated with support, floppy head) and with dystonic movements in all extremities. An electroencephalogram showed slightly
A case of propionic acidemia is reported. The main features of this patient were recurrent vomiting, ketosis and occasional episodes of seizure. Serum concentrations of propionic acid and glycine were within the normal range. Blood ammonia was slightly elevated. Characteristic organic acids were
Vomiting, lethargy and metabolic acidosis were the main initial symptoms of metabolic disease in a 1 month old girl. Her older sister had died from a similar disease, considered to be Reye's syndrome, at an age of 15 months. The urine of the present case contained 2-methylcitric acid,
Propionic acidemia is a metabolic disorder (OMIM 606054) caused by deficiency of the propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase, which subsequently results in accumulation of propionic acid. Patients may initially present with poor feeding, vomiting, loss of appetite, hypotonia, and lethargy. Later,
At the Orthopaedic University Clinic, Homburg, a total of 127 patients was treated with d-2-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphthyl)-propionic acid (naproxen) from June 1973 up to June 1974. The indications were chronic degenerative changes of the joints, muscles and tendons. In the first series naproxen was
The discharge frequency (F(n)) patterns of medullary respiratory premotor neurons are subject to potent tonic GABAergic gain modulation. Studies in other neuron types suggest that the synaptic input for tonic inhibition is located on the soma where it can affect total neuronal output. However, our
Nonsalicylate, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be divided into 4 chemical classes: acetic acids, fenamic acids, oxicams and propionic acids. Most NSAID overdoses result in a benign outcome. Of 50,614 exposures reported to poison centres in the United States in a 2-year period, 131
