Neurodevelopmental spectrum disorders like autism (ASD) are diagnosed, on average, beyond age 4 y, after multiple critical periods of brain development close and behavioral intervention becomes less effective. This raises the urgent need for quantitative, noninvasive, translational biomarkers their early detection tracking. We found that both idiopathic (BTBR) genetic (CDKL5- MeCP2-deficient) mouse models ASD display an early, impaired cholinergic neuromodulation as reflected in altered...

The beneficial effects of Neural Precursor Cell (NPC) transplantation in several neurological disorders are well established and they generally mediated by the secretion immunomodulatory neurotrophic molecules. We therefore investigated whether Rett syndrome (RTT), that represents first cause severe intellectual disability girls, might benefit from NPC-based therapy. Using vitro co-cultures, we demonstrate that, sensing pathological context, NPC-secreted factors induce recovery morphological...

The biochemical hallmarks of transient pseudo-hypoaldosteronism associated with a pyelonephritis include hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and acidosis. We tested if the kidney-urinary tract ultrasound helps in predicting diagnosis overt infants pyelonephritis.Between 2013 2020, we managed 71 previously healthy 4 weeks to 24 months age (42 males 29 females) made 17 (24%). Infants without did not significantly differ respect prevalence abnormalities, graded by means UTD classification system...

Objective: Ibuprofen is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which has been occasionally associated with hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis. The objective of this report to analyze the literature on issue address underlying pathophysiology. Data Sources: Excerpta Medica, National Library Medicine, Web Science were searched from inception July 16, 2021. Study Selection Extraction: Papers reporting individually documented humans ibuprofen hypokalemia, acidosis, or both retained....

Phenylketonuria (PKU) leads to severe neurological disorders in childhood, shunned by the diet. The long-term prognosis after diet diversification at adolescence is uncertain. We report a case of cortical blindness young patient regressive 1 month was resumed.Mr M., 25 years old, had PKU detected birth. He maintained good serum levels Phenylalanine (Phe) (120-300 μmol/L) during childhood and got normal intellectual development. During he diversified his but low meat fish intake; Phe ~1,200...
