چکیده
True positive result denotes correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. True negative result 1⁄4 incorrect placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. False positive result 1⁄4 correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound not confirmed by chest radiography. False negative result 1⁄4 incorrect placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubbleenhanced ultrasound not confirmed by chest radiography. Sensitivity 1⁄4 (true positive/[true positive þ false negative]). Specificity 1⁄4 (true negative/[true negative þ false positive]). Diagnostic accuracy 1⁄4 ([true positive þ true negative]/[true positive þ true negative þ false positive þ false negative). RESEARCH LETTERS

Renal involvement in a patient with cobalamin A type (cblA) methylmalonic aciduria: a 42-year follow-up.
Chronic renal failure is a well-known long-term complication of methylmalonic aciduria (MMA-uria), occurring even under apparently optimal metabolic management. The onset of renal dysfunction seems to be dependent on the type of defect and vitamin B12-responsiveness. We report on a patient with a vitamin B12-responsive cobalamin A type (cblA) MMA-uria caused by a homozygous stop mutation (p.R14...
متن کاملCblC Type Methylmalonic Aciduria with a Novel Homozygous Mutation: A Case Report
Background CombinedMethylmalonic Aciduria (MMA), and homocystinuria CblC type is the most common inborn error of cobalamin metabolism with 77 mutations identified till date in the MMACHC gene. The disease has early and late presentations with varied clinical features. Case report A pair of preterm monochorionic twins was born to non-consanguineous parents with history of 2 previous infant deat...
متن کاملApplicability of an enzymatic quantitation of methylmalonic, propionic, and acetic acids in normal and megaloblastic states.
A rapid sensitive spectrophotometric assay for the measurement of methylmalonic and propionic acids in urine is described. The assay is based upon the quantitation of propionic acid using acetyl coenzyme A synthetase isolated from baker's yeast. This enzyme is highly specific for acetate and propionate, and acetate interference is eliminated by conversion to citrate. Methylmalonic acid was assa...
متن کاملA Methylmalonic Acidemia Case Presenting with Acrodermatitis Enteropathica
We encountered a patient with methylmalonic aciduria associated with skin lesions resembling acrodermatitis enteropathica. This child was being fed with a low-protein diet when the skin disorder developed. A deficiency in plasma levels isoleucine, was confirmed. Supplementation of a high-caloric, protein-rich diet led to a prompt improvement of skin lesions. We assume that in our patient the sk...
متن کاملCorrection of methylmalonic aciduria in vivo using a codon-optimized lentiviral vector.
Methylmalonic aciduria is a rare disorder of organic acid metabolism with limited therapeutic options, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Positive results from combined liver/kidney transplantation suggest, however, that metabolic sink therapy may be efficacious. Gene therapy offers a more accessible approach for the treatment of methylmalonic aciduria than organ transplantation. Accord...
متن کاملMouse Models for Methylmalonic Aciduria
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM). MMA is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, thus therapies are necessary to help improve quality of life and prevent renal and neurological complications. Transgenic mice carrying an intact human MCM locus have been produced. Four separate t...
