The Creatine Deficiency Syndromes (CDS) are a group of inborn errors of metabolism which interrupt the biosynthesis or transportation of creatine. Individuals with CDS classically present neurological symptoms (seizures, movement disorders and myopathy), and behavioral manifestations. This group

Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas

1. HYPOTHESIS AND OBJECTIVES PEG-IFN as an immunomodulatory agent could potentiate the antiviral efficacy of patients on long term nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy and improve early indicators of efficacy, HBeAg loss and reduction in qHBsAg. This study will also test whether add-on compared to switch

1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 Summary of problem CHD is a common condition with an estimated prevalence of 1 per 100 in the general population. A significant proportion of these pediatric patients require one or more corrective surgeries over their lifetime, leading to 15000 procedures per year in North

Research Design and Methods: Bipolar Depressed Subjects: The Bipolar Depressed group will consist of 10 subjects (for the purposes of this study we would like to be able to recruit up to 30 subjects, with the goal of getting 10 to complete the protocol), ages 55-89, meeting DSM IV-TR criteria for

AS is a neurologic disorder that may cause developmental delay, mental retardation, severe speech impairment, seizures, small head size, and problems with movement and balance in young children. AS is caused by a missing or incomplete chromosome 15 that is inherited from the mother. Diagnosis of AS
