Open AccessUrine creatine metabolite panel as a screening test in neurodevelopmental disorders
Cerebral creatine deficiency disorders (CCDD) are inherited metabolic disorders of creatine synthesis and transport. Urine creatine metabolite panel is helpful to identify these disorders.

Open AccessEvaluation of the quality of clinical data collection for a pan-Canadian cohort of children affected by inherited metabolic diseases: lessons learned from the Canadian Inherited Metabolic Diseases Research Network
The Canadian Inherited Metabolic Diseases Research Network (CIMDRN) is a pan-Canadian practice-based research network of 14 Hereditary Metabolic Disease Treatment Centres and over 50 investigators. CIMDRN aims...

Open AccessOutcomes in pediatric studies of medium-chain acyl-coA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency and phenylketonuria (PKU): a review
Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are a group of individually rare single-gene diseases. For many IMDs, there is a paucity of high-quality evidence that evaluates the effectiveness of clinical interventions....

Open AccessEstablishing core outcome sets for phenylketonuria (PKU) and medium-chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency in children: study protocol for systematic reviews and Delphi surveys
Inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) are a large group of rare single-gene disorders that are typically diagnosed early in life. There are important evidence gaps related to the comparative effectiveness of ther...

Open AccessMudd’s disease (MAT I/III deficiency): a survey of data for MAT1A homozygotes and compound heterozygotes
This paper summarizes the results of a group effort to bring together the worldwide available data on patients who are either homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for mutations in MAT1A. MAT1A encodes the subuni...

Effect of Body Temperature on the Pattern of Spontaneous Breathing in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants Supported by Proportional Assist Ventilation
The optimum body temperature for infants <1000 g is unknown. We investigated body temperature effects on spontaneous breathing using proportional assist ventilation (PAV), because this mode supports spontaneou...

Acylcarnitine Profiles of Preterm Infants Over the First Four Weeks of Life
Measurement of free carnitine and acylcarnitines allows the detection of several inborn errors of metabolism in neonatal screening. Because available data for premature infants is limited, we studied longitudi...

Spontaneous Breathing during Partial Liquid Ventilation in Animals with Meconium Aspiration
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) has been shown to improve gas exchange in paralyzed animals and humans with lung disease. The present study tests the hypothesis that PLV improves gas exchange in spontaneously...

Inductance Plethysmography: An Alternative Signal to Servocontrol the Airway Pressure during Proportional Assist Ventilation in Small Animals
During proportional assist ventilation (PAV), the ventilator pressure is servocontrolled throughout each spontaneous inspiration such that it instantaneously increases in proportion to the airflow (resistive u...

Proportional Assist Ventilation Decreases Thoracoabdominal Asynchrony and Chest Wall Distortion in Preterm Infants
Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) and chest wall distortion (CWD) are commonly seen in preterm infants secondary to a highly compliant rib cage and poor compensation of distorting forces by inspiratory rib cag...

Postnatal Changes in Neonatal Acylcarnitine Profile
Electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry represents a powerful method for detection of inborn errors of fatty acid metabolism. In the present study, it was used to examine neonatal carnitine metabolism, which ref...

Dynamics of Breathing during Partial Liquid Ventilation in Spontaneously Breathing Rabbits Supported by Elastic and Resistive Unloading
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) has been shown to improve gas exchange in paralyzed animals and in humans with lung disease. This study tests the hypothesis that PLV combined with respiratory mechanical unloa...
