Laronidase for treating mucopolysaccharidosis type I.
Mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of inherited metabolic diseases caused by the absence or deficiency of the lysosomal enzymes that are needed for breaking down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Over time, GAGs collect in cells, blood and connective tissues, and increased amounts are excreted in the urine. The result is permanent and includes progressive cell damage that affects the individual's appea...

متن کاملTreatments for Pulmonary Ricin Intoxication: Current Aspects and Future Prospects
Ricin, a plant-derived toxin originating from the seeds of Ricinus communis (castor beans), is one of the most lethal toxins known, particularly if inhaled. Ricin is considered a potential biological threat agent due to its high availability and ease of production. The clinical manifestation of pulmonary ricin intoxication in animal models is closely related to acute respiratory distress syndro...
متن کاملWhy don’t you see what I mean? Prospects and limitations of current automatic sign recognition research
This article presents an overview of current automatic sign recognition research. Based on a review of recent studies as well as on own research, several problem areas are identified that hamper the successful recognition of signed utterances by a computer. Some of these problems are shared with automatic speech recognition, while others seem to be particular to automatic sign recognition. Thes...
متن کاملOpen issues in Mucopolysaccharidosis type I-Hurler
Mucopolysaccharidosis I-Hurler (MPS I-H) is the most severe form of a metabolic genetic disease caused by mutations of IDUA gene encoding the lysosomal α-L-iduronidase enzyme. MPS I-H is a rare, life-threatening disease, evolving in multisystem morbidity including progressive neurological disease, upper airway obstruction, skeletal deformity and cardiomyopathy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cel...
