Abstract
Using an 185-kg NaI[Tl] array, COHERENT has measured the inclusive electron-neutrino charged-current cross section on ^{127}I with pion decay-at-rest neutrinos produced by the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Iodine is one the heaviest targets for which low-energy (≤50 MeV) inelastic neutrino-nucleus processes have been measured, and this is the first measurement of its inclusive cross section. After a five-year detector exposure, COHERENT reports a flux-averaged cross section for electron neutrinos of 9.2_{-1.8}^{+2.1}×10^{-40} cm^{2}. This corresponds to a value that is ∼41% lower than predicted using the MARLEY event generator with a measured Gamow-Teller strength distribution. In addition, the observed visible spectrum from charged-current scattering on ^{127}I has been measured between 10 and 55 MeV, and the exclusive zero-neutron and one-or-more-neutron emission cross sections are measured to be 5.2_{-3.1}^{+3.4}×10^{-40} and 2.2_{-0.5}^{+0.4}×10^{-40} cm^{2}, respectively.

Abstract
The COHERENT Collaboration searched for scalar dark matter particles produced at the Spallation Neutron Source with masses between 1 and 220 MeV/c^{2} using a CsI[Na] scintillation detector sensitive to nuclear recoils above 9 keV_{nr}. No evidence for dark matter is found and we thus place limits on allowed parameter space. With this low-threshold detector, we are sensitive to coherent elastic scattering between dark matter and nuclei. The cross section for this process is orders of magnitude higher than for other processes historically used for accelerator-based direct-detection searches so that our small, 14.6 kg detector significantly improves on past constraints. At peak sensitivity, we reject the flux consistent with the cosmologically observed dark-matter concentration for all coupling constants α_{D}<0.64, assuming a scalar dark-matter particle. We also calculate the sensitivity of future COHERENT detectors to dark-matter signals which will ambitiously test multiple dark-matter spin scenarios.

Abstract
We measured the cross section of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) using a CsI[Na] scintillating crystal in a high flux of neutrinos produced at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. New data collected before detector decommissioning have more than doubled the dataset since the first observation of CEvNS, achieved with this detector. Systematic uncertainties have also been reduced with an updated quenching model, allowing for improved precision. With these analysis improvements, the COHERENT Collaboration determined the cross section to be (165_{-25}^{+30})×10^{-40} cm^{2}, consistent with the standard model, giving the most precise measurement of CEvNS yet. The timing structure of the neutrino beam has been exploited to compare the CEvNS cross section from scattering of different neutrino flavors. This result places leading constraints on neutrino nonstandard interactions while testing lepton flavor universality and measures the weak mixing angle as sin^{2}θ_{W}=0.220_{-0.026}^{+0.028} at Q^{2}≈(50 MeV)^{2}.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
St. George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a tertiary plastic surgery centre serving a population of 3.5 million in and around South West London. Telemedicine Referral Image Portal System (TRIPS) is integral to our service, allowing triage of patients in remote locations. During Covid, TRIPS helped in reducing footfall and streamlining out of hospital referrals to reduce unnecessary transfer. The aim of this project was to assess the quality of clinical documentation for emergency referrals to plastic surgery via TRIPS.
Method
We performed a retrospective review of all patients referred to plastic surgery via TRIPS during April 2020. Documentation standards were determined from national guidance. After introduction of a condensed guide, a second review was performed four months later.
Results
In April, 131 referrals were recorded on TRIPS. Only 22.9% of records met the standard. The most common omission was treatment advice. Following introduction of guidance, 215 TRIPS records were reviewed. The quality of clinical documentation improved in all aspects with a compliance rate of 89%.
Conclusions
Although TRIPS remains a useful tool for triage, it is a clinical document and must meet the standards of clinical record keeping. Introduction of clear guidelines improves overall compliance.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on argon using a liquid argon detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source. Two independent analyses prefer CEvNS over the background-only null hypothesis with greater than 3σ significance. The measured cross section, averaged over the incident neutrino flux, is (2.2±0.7)×10^{-39} cm^{2}-consistent with the standard model prediction. The neutron-number dependence of this result, together with that from our previous measurement on CsI, confirms the existence of the CEvNS process and provides improved constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classic galactosemia is a rare inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism, caused by a severe deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT). A galactose-restricted diet has proven to be very effective to treat the neonatal life-threatening manifestations and has been the cornerstone of treatment for this severe disease. However, burdensome complications occur despite a lifelong diet. For rare diseases, a patient disease specific registry is fundamental to monitor the lifespan pathology and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of potential therapies. In 2014, the international Galactosemias Network (GalNet) developed a web-based patient registry for this disease, the GalNet Registry. The aim was to delineate the natural history of classic galactosemia based on a large dataset of patients. METHODS Observational data derived from 15 countries and 32 centers including 509 patients were acquired between December 2014 and July 2018. RESULTS Most affected patients experienced neonatal manifestations (79.8%) and despite following a diet developed brain impairments (85.0%), primary ovarian insufficiency (79.7%) and a diminished bone mineral density (26.5%). Newborn screening, age at onset of dietary treatment, strictness of the galactose-restricted diet, p.Gln188Arg mutation and GALT enzyme activity influenced the clinical picture. Detection by newborn screening and commencement of diet in the first week of life were associated with a more favorable outcome. A homozygous p.Gln188Arg mutation, GALT enzyme activity of ≤ 1% and strict galactose restriction were associated with a less favorable outcome. CONCLUSION This study describes the natural history of classic galactosemia based on the hitherto largest data set.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungEine 2013 von der „International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology“ gegründete Taskforce hat eine international konsensfähige EEG-Terminologie entwickelt. Im Folgenden soll das Resultat – die 2. Version des Standardized Computer-based Organized Reporting of EEG (SCORE) - vorgestellt werden. Die Terminologie wurde im Rahmen eines Softwarepaketes (SCORE-EEG) in der klinischen Praxis an über 12.000 EEGs getestet. Die Auswahl der Begriffe ist kontextabhängig: die initiale Auswahl bestimmt, welche weiteren Auswahlmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung stehen. Im Verlauf wird automatisch ein Befund erstellt und dessen Einzelmerkmale in eine Datenbank eingespeist. SCORE verfügt über Module spezifisch für die Befundung epileptischer Anfälle, sowie charakteristischer neonataler und intensivmedizinische EEG-Merkmale. SCORE ist nicht nur ein nützliches Werkzeug im ambulanten, klinischen und wissenschaftlichen Setting, es erleichtert auch Qualitätssicherung, Datenaustausch und die EEG-Aus und Weiterbildung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amino acidopathies are a class of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) that can be diagnosed by analysis of amino acids (AA) in plasma. Current strategies for AA analysis include cation exchange HPLC with post-column ninhydrin derivatization, GC-MS, and LC-MS/MS-related methods. Major drawbacks of the current methods are time-consuming procedures, derivative problems, problems with retention, and MS-sensitivity. The use of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) columns is an ideal separation mode for hydrophilic compounds like AA. Here we report a HILIC-method for analysis of 36 underivatized AA in plasma to detect defects in AA metabolism that overcomes the major drawbacks of other methods. METHODS A rapid, sensitive, and specific method was developed for the analysis of AA in plasma without derivatization using HILIC coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry (Xevo TQ, Waters). RESULTS Excellent separation of 36 AA (24 quantitative/12 qualitative) in plasma was achieved on an Acquity BEH Amide column (2.1×100 mm, 1.7 μm) in a single MS run of 18 min. Plasma of patients with a known IEM in AA metabolism was analyzed and all patients were correctly identified. CONCLUSION The reported method analyzes 36 AA in plasma within 18 min and provides baseline separation of isomeric AA such as leucine and isoleucine. No separation was obtained for isoleucine and allo-isoleucine. The method is applicable to study defects in AA metabolism in plasma.

Abstract
Surgery and anesthesia pose a threat to patients with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD), because prolonged fasting, stress, and pain are known risk factors for the induction of metabolic derangement. The optimal perioperative management in these patients is unknown and the use of volatile agents and agents dissolved in fatty acids has been related to postoperative metabolic complications. However, the occurrence of metabolic derangement is multifactorial and depends, amongst others, on the severity of the mutation and residual enzyme activity. Current guidelines suggest avoiding both volatile anesthetics as well as propofol, which seriously limits the options for providing safe anesthesia. Therefore, we reviewed the available literature on the perioperative management of patients with VLCADD. We concluded that the use of some medications, such as volatile anesthetics, in patients with VLCADD might be wrongfully avoided and could in fact prevent metabolic derangement by the adequate suppression of pain and stress during surgery. We will illustrate this with a case report of an adult VLCADD patient undergoing minor surgery. Besides the use of remifentanil, anesthesia was uneventfully maintained with the use of sevoflurane, a volatile agent, and continuous glucose infusion. The patient was monitored with a continuous glucose meter and creatinine kinase measurements.

Abstract
Recycling of valuable metals from electronic waste, especially complex mixtures of end-of-life information and communication technology (ICT) products, is of great difficulty due to their complexity and heterogeneity. One of the important reasons is the lack of comprehensive characterisation on such materials, i.e. accurate compositions, physical/chemical properties. In the present research, we focus on developing methodologies for the characterisation of metals in an industrially processed ICT waste. The morphology, particle size distribution, compositional distribution, occurrence, liberation as well as the thermo-chemical properties of the ICT waste were investigated with various characterisation techniques, including X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS). Due to the high heterogeneity of the material, special sample preparation procedures were introduced to minimise the discrepancies during compositional analyses. As a result, a clearer overview of the ICT waste has been reached. This research provides better understanding of the extractability of each metal and improves the awareness of potential obstacles for extraction. It will lead to smarter decisions during further development of a clean and effective recovery process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucopolysaccharidosis III (MPS III), known as Sanfilippo disease, is a lysosomal storage disorder mainly characterized by progressive neurodegeneration with cognitive decline and relatively attenuated somatic signs and symptoms. Although short stature is invariably present in patients with the other mucopolysaccharidoses, it has not been sufficiently addressed in MPS III. The aim of this study was to investigate growth data of a large Dutch MPS III cohort in order to construct growth charts for MPS III patients. METHODS Height, weight, head circumference (HC), and body mass index (BMI) data from 118 MPS III patients were used to construct reference curves, using the lambda, mu, sigma (LMS) method. Genotype-group comparisons for height standard deviation scores (SDS) were performed by Kruskal-Wallis analysis for different age groups. RESULTS Birth weight and length were within normal ranges for gestational age and showed a significantly stunted growth from age 6 years onward. Mean final heights were 169.7 cm (-2.0 SDS) and 165.4 cm (-0.84 SDS) for adult male and female, patients, respectively. Phenotypic severity, as assessed by genotyping, correlated with growth pattern and final height. In addition, mean BMI and HC SDS were significantly higher when compared with Dutch standards for both boys and girls. CONCLUSIONS Growth in MPS III is stunted mainly in patients with the severe phenotype. We provide disease-specific growth references that can be used for clinical management of MPS III patients and may be of value for future treatment studies.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is a neurovisceral lysosomal storage disorder caused by acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) deficiency, which can be categorized as either Niemann-Pick disease type A [NPD-A], with progressive neurological disease and death in early childhood, or as Niemann-Pick disease type B [NPD-B], with a more variable spectrum of manifestations. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant sphingomyelinase is currently studied as potential treatment for NPD-B patients. The objective of this study is to characterize the clinical features of patients with ASM deficiency in the Netherlands and Belgium with focus on the natural disease course of NPD-B patients. Prospective and retrospective data on ASM deficient patients were collected in The Netherlands and part of Belgium. Patients with NPD-B that could be followed prospectively were evaluated every 6-12 months for pulmonary function tests, 6 minute walk test (6 MWT), imaging (bone marrow infiltration measured by QCSI, organ volumes by MRI and CT scan of the lungs) and biochemical markers. Twenty-five patients with ASM deficiency were identified (13 males, 12 females, median age 13years, range 1-59 years). Nine patients had died at the time of the study, including four NPD-A patients at the age of 1,1, 2, 3 and five NPDB patents at the age of 5, 6, 43, 56 and 60 years. There was a high prevalence of homozygosity and compound heterozygosity for the common p.Arg608del mutation in 43% and 19% of NPD-B patients, respectively. In NPD-B patients, thrombocytopenia was present in most, while anemia and leucopenia were less common (33% and 6 % respectively). HDL cholesterol was reduced in most patients. Pulmonary disease was severe in several patients. Follow-up up to 11 years revealed a gradual decrease in platelet count. Detailed investigations in 6 NPD-B patients with follow-up in 4 patients revealed remarkable stable disease parameters up to 6 years, with some decline in pulmonary function and 6 MWT. Bone marrow fat fractions were decreased, indicating the presence of storage macrophages. Lung involvement was not related to the extent of visceromegaly, cytopenia or bone marrow involvement. In conclusion, in NPD-B patients pulmonary disease is the most debilitating feature. Disease manifestations are mostly stable in attenuated patients. Bone marrow infiltration is a less prominent feature of the disease.

Abstract
Surgical procedures in patients with metabolic disorders require specific anesthetic measures based on the nature of the involved metabolic disorder. Illustrated by the history of two patients, the need for a specific perioperative regimen in patients with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD) is discussed. One patient deteriorated, the other patient did well without any specific measurements. Although perioperative metabolic decompensation can currently not be predicted, it is a severe complication which should be avoided. We therefore advise to consider certain perioperative precautions in all VLCADD patients: 1) age and weight adapted glucose infusion, 2) stress avoiding premedication, 3) avoidance of volatile anesthetics, 4) avoidance of long chain fatty acid containing anesthetics and 5) perioperative glucose and CK monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent studies have shown the capability of ultrasound to demonstrate fetal cortical development. For practical application, it would be useful to have more insight into the physiological progress of cortical folding. A longitudinal study was undertaken to grade fetal cortical development and to study physiological asymmetry by means of a simple scoring system. The reproducibility of the scoring system and the differences between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound were also examined. METHODS A cohort of 28 patients was examined by 2D and 3D ultrasound from 20 to 40 weeks of gestation. The development of selected fissures, sulci and cortical areas were graded from 0 to 5. One examination per week of gestation was randomly selected for evaluation of intraobserver and interobserver variation. RESULTS Two-hundred and fifteen ultrasound examinations were performed in 28 patients. The development of the different cortical areas is presented. The intraobserver and interobserver agreement for assessment of grade was good. Asymmetry was common between 24 and 28 weeks, especially in female fetuses. The right parieto-occipital fissure tended to be more advanced and the left calcarine and cingulate sulci tended to be more advanced. No clinically or statistically significant differences were found between 2D and 3D ultrasound. CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of cortical development by means of a simple scoring system is feasible and reproducible. Asymmetrical development of sulci, previously only described in vitro, has now also been demonstrated in vivo. 3D ultrasound was equally accurate and repeatable and no more time consuming than 2D ultrasound.

Abstract
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an inborn error of bile acid synthesis in which hepatic conversion of cholesterol to cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids is impaired. Patients have abnormal bile alcohols in urine, normal to increased plasma cholesterol concentrations and increased concentrations of plasma cholestanol. Little is known about cholesterol precursors in CTX, however. We studied cholesterol and phytosterol profiles in two siblings with CTX during follow-up. While cholesterol concentrations were low in both patients, plasma cholestanol was 6-fold higher compared to control values. In addition, both siblings had a more than 100-fold increase in 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC) and 8-dehydrocholesterol (8DHC). Lathosterol, lanosterol and sitosterol were increased in both patients while concentrations of desmosterol and campesterol were normal. In addition, plasma lathosterol/cholesterol ratios were significantly elevated. After treatment with chenodeoxycholate, both patients showed a marked decrease in cholestanol, 7DHC, 8DHC, lathosterol, lanosterol and sitosterol. In addition, the lathosterol/cholesterol ratio normalized, indicating that overall cholesterol synthesis was sufficiently suppressed. This study shows that elevated cholesterol precursors, other than cholestanol, can be a hallmark for CTX.

Abstract
In three young patients who presented with bilateral cataracts the cause proved to be an inherited metabolic disease. The first patient was a newborn aged 7 weeks, in whom galactokinase deficiency was diagnosed. The second patient was a boy aged 8 years with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. The third patient was a girl who was diagnosed with cataracts at the age of 3 months. At the age of 4 years the diagnosis 'rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata' was established. Screening for metabolic disorders in all children with bilateral cataracts is essential, as in some disorders progressive and severe symptoms can be avoided with timely initiation of treatment. In addition, diagnosis allows for family studies and genetic counselling to take place. This may result in prevention of disease by early therapeutic intervention and prenatal screening.

Abstract
Menkes disease is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by neurological deterioration, failure to thrive, peculiar hair and death in childhood, secondary to mutations in the ATP7A gene. The ATP7A gene encodes for a copper transporting P-type ATPase (ATP7A), which is ubiquitously expressed. A defect of the ATP7A protein leads to both a reduced transport of copper from the intestine into the circulation and into the central nervous system, as well as reduced transport of copper into the Golgi apparatus for incorporation into various copper-dependent enzymes. This results in a systemic copper deficiency as well as reduced activity of various copper-dependent enzymes. The reduced activity of these copper-dependent enzymes accounts for most of the characteristic features ofMenkes disease patients.

Abstract
In The Netherlands, a national programme for the surveillance of zoonotic bacteria in farm animals has been operative since 1997. We describe the results of the surveillance of Salmonella spp. in flocks of laying hens and broilers and of Campylobacter spp. in broiler flocks in the period 1999-2002. The prevalence of Salmonella spp. in laying-hen flocks has significantly decreased from 21.1% in 1999 to 13.4% in 2002. This decreasing trend might indicate that the control measures taken by the poultry industry were effective. S. Enteritidis was the predominant serovar in laying hens accounting for one third of the positive flocks. Although prevalence estimates for Salmonella spp. in broiler flocks did not yield a significant decreasing trend in 1999-2002, a decrease in Salmonella prevalence to 11% was measured in 2002. During the study period, S. Paratyphi B var. Java emerged in broilers to become the predominant serovar in 2002 accounting for one third of the positive flocks. The prevalence of Campylobacter spp. in broiler flocks did not increase nor decrease continuously between 1999 and 2002, which roughly corresponds with the monitoring results from the poultry industry. In this period, the estimated flock prevalence roughly averaged around 20%, with C. jejuni being the predominant species. The approach of monitoring presented in this paper can serve as a blueprint for monitoring schemes in farm animal populations to be developed in the context of the EC Zoonoses Directive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Multiple Acyl-CoA-Dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by impaired oxidation of fatty acids and some amino acids. METHODS: We were interested whether children with MADD could tolerate a prolonged low-intensity exercise test and if this test could have any additional diagnostic value. Therefore, we performed a maximal exercise test and a low-intensity prolonged exercise test in 2 patients with MADD and in 5 control subjects. During a prolonged exercise test the subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer at a constant workload of 30% of their maximum for 90 minutes and heart rate, oxygen uptake, fuel utilization and changes in relevant blood and urinary parameters were monitored. RESULTS: The tests were tolerated well. During the prolonged exercise test the fatty acid oxidation (FAO) was quite low compared to 5 control subjects, while characteristic metabolites of MADD appeared in plasma and urine. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the prolonged exercise test could be of diagnostic importance and might replace the fasting test as a diagnostic procedure in some cases, particularly in patients with anamnestic signs of intolerance for prolonged exercise.

Abstract
A patient with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency presented in the neonatal period with hypoketotic hypoglycaemia and at the age of 1 year with rhabdomyolysis and normal glucose after fasting. Rhabdomyolysis may occur in the absence of hypoglycaemia in young infants as well as in older patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the features of informal end-of-life care of older people living in the community and the association between informal care characteristics and dying at home. METHODS Retrospective data were obtained from interviews and self-administered questionnaires of 56 persons who had been primary caregivers of older relatives in the last three months of their lives. RESULTS Results showed that informal caregivers of terminally ill older people living in the community provided a considerable amount of personal, household, and management care. Secondary informal caregivers and formal caregivers assisted resident primary caregivers less often than nonresident primary caregivers. Primary caregivers who felt less burdened, who gave personal care more intensively, and/or who were assisted by secondary caregivers, were more likely to provide informal end-of-life care at home until the time of death. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that informal care at the end of life of older people living in the community is complex, since the care required is considerable and highly varied, and involves assistance from secondary informal caregivers, formal home caregivers as well as institutional care. Burden of informal care is one of the most important factors associated with home death. More attention is needed to help ease the burden on informal caregivers, specifically with regard to resident caregivers and spouses. Since these resident caregivers were disadvantaged in several respects (i.e., health, income, assistance from other carers) compared to nonresident caregivers, interventions by formal caregivers should also be directed towards these persons, enabling them to bear the burden of end-of-life care.

Abstract
The occurrence of (symptoms related to) osteopenia is a known complication in glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) patients. However, only limited information is available about bone mineral density (BMD). Using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, we studied both cross-sectional and longitudinal lumbar spine areal BMD (BMD(areal) in g/cm2), areal BMD corrected for delayed bone maturation (BMD(bone age) in g/cm2), and volumetric BMD (BMD(vol) in g/cm3). Prepubertal GSD Ia patients (n = 8) had normal BMD (median z-scores BMD(areal) -0.6, BMD(bone age) -0.5 and BMD(vol) -0.5), whereas adolescent patients (n = 12) and adult patients (n = 9) had significantly reduced BMD (BMD(areal) -2.3, BMD(bone age) -1.6, BMD(vol) -2.0, and BMD(areal) -1.9, BMD(vol) -1.5, respectively). Our longitudinal study, showing a stable BMD(areal) but a trend to a decrease in BMD(vol) in prepubertal patients during follow-up, did not clarify whether the difference in BMD between prepubertal and adolescent/adult patients reflects a diminished accretion of BMD during childhood or reflects historical differences in treatment. In adolescent and adult GSD Ia patients, BMD(areal) and BMD(vol) were reduced but stable during follow-up. Especially patients with delayed bone maturation were at risk for reduced BMD. No correlation between parameters of metabolic control and BMD could be detected. Daily calcium intake was within recommended allowances ranges. Abnormal biochemical results included hypomagnesaemia (29%), hypercalciuria (34%) and reduced tubular resorption of phosphate (21%). Although the underlying pathophysiology of reduced BMD in GSD Ia remains unsolved, metabolic control should be optimized to correct as much as possible metabolic and endocrine abnormalities that may influence both bone matrix formation and bone mineral accretion.

Abstract
Growth retardation is one of the clinical characteristics of glycogen storage disease (GSD) type IX. Initial growth retardation has been described in a few case reports, followed by a complete catch-up in growth. This study aimed to determine the growth pattern of patients with GSD IX. Growth charts of 51 male Dutch patients with GSD IX (age 0-33 years, median follow-up time 8.3 years (range 0-30.5 years)) were studied retrospectively and compared with Dutch standard growth charts. Patients had a normal height at birth, significant growth retardation between the ages of 2 and 10 years (mean z-score -1.96), delayed growth spurt in puberty and catch-up towards quite normal final height (mean z-score -0.55). We conclude that GSD IX patients have a specific growth pattern characterized by initial growth retardation, a late growth spurt and complete catch-up in final height. Intervention for growth retardation is therefore in general not warranted. It is speculated that mild hypoglycaemia related to the disorder may cause endocrine changes. Because the glucose need per kg bodyweight decreases with age, the enzyme defect becomes less important with ageing and the effect on growth diminishes.

Abstract
Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) (McKusick 232200) is caused by inherited defects of the glucose-6-phosphatase complex. Patients with GSD Ia as well as patients with GSD lb may suffer from intermittent diarrhoea, which seems to worsen with age. The cause of this diarrhoea is unknown. This study describes the results of investigations of intestinal functions and morphology in patients with GSD Ia and GSD lb, which were performed to detect a common cause for chronic diarrhoea in GSD I. The following were investigated: faecal fat excretion, faecal alpha1-antitrypsin and faecal chymotrypsin, expiratory H2 concentrations, persorption of cornstarch in urine and colonic biopsies. With the investigations presented in this study, no common cause for diarrhoea in GSD I was found. In GSD lb loss of mucosal barrier function due to inflammation, documented by increased faecal alpha1-antitrypsin excretion (3.5-9.6 mg/g dry faeces) and inflammation in the colonic biopsies, seems to be the main cause. The inflammation is most likely related to disturbed neutrophil function, which is often found in GSD lb. Whether another cause is involved in GSD Ia and in GSD Ib, related to the disturbed function of glucose-6-phosphatase in the enterocyte, remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate adherence to antiretroviral therapy over 48 weeks, to investigate the association between adherence and treatment-related symptoms and to investigate the impact of adherence on virological response over 48 weeks among established predictors of treatment success. Methods One-hundred-and-sixty HIV-1 infected protease inhibitor- and stavudine-naive patients participating in a trial of ritonavir/saquinavir versus ritonavir/saquinavir/ stavudine completed an adherence questionnaire and a symptom checklist at weeks 12, 24, 36 and 48. We calculated odds ratios between experienced symptoms and non-adherence. Regression models were used to determine predictors of HIV-1 RNA below 400 copies/ml at week 48, and of the area about the change from baseline over 48 weeks (ACFB) in serum HIV-1 RNA. Results The percentage of patients reporting missing medication, deviation from time schedule, and dietary prescriptions at separate time-points ranged from 12 to 15%, 32 to 35% and 17 to 22%, respectively. The percentage that changed their level of adherence during 48 weeks ranged from 29% for skipping medication to 48% for deviation from time-schedule. Experienced side-effects were associated with an increased likelihood of non-adherence. Not skipping medication was an independent predictor of both having a serum HIV-1 RNA below 400 copies/ml at week 48 and the ACFB over 48 weeks in serum HIV-1 RNA. Conclusions Adherence was an independent predictor of virological response over 48 weeks. The level of adherence is variable within patients over time. This suggests the need for continued adherence monitoring in all patients as part of standard medical practice.

Abstract
Elliptic flow from nuclear collisions is a hadronic observable sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. We report first results on elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at square root(S)NN = 130 GeV using the STAR Time Projection Chamber at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The elliptic flow signal, v2, averaged over transverse momentum, reaches values of about 6% for relatively peripheral collisions and decreases for the more central collisions. This can be interpreted as the observation of a higher degree of thermalization than at lower collision energies. Pseudorapidity and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are also presented.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Three affected members of one family, each with a different clinical presentation of isolated biotin-resistant 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency are described. The index patient presented at 7 weeks of age with feeding difficulties, sweating and tachypnoea. Echocardiography showed a severely dilated left ventricle with minimal contractility. MCC deficiency was suspected on the basis of elevated urinary excretion of 3-hydroxyisovalerate and 3-methylcrotonylglycine. Deficiency of MCC activity was found in lymphocytes and fibroblasts (ca. 2% of mean normal). Serum carnitine was low (free 10 micromol/l). Some other possible causes of cardiomyopathy were excluded. Cardiomyopathy was not improved by carnitine therapy. The healthy father and a developmentally delayed brother also had MCC deficiency. Both also had decreased serum carnitine concentrations, but without cardiac involvement. Dilatative cardiomyopathy as predominant symptom in isolated MCC deficiency has not been described before, although severe carnitine deficiency is a common finding in MCC deficiency. It is not clear whether this is a coincidental association. CONCLUSION In order to understand the phenotypic spectrum of this rare disorder, cardiac evaluation should be made in patients with 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency. Biochemical and clinical investigations have also to be performed in their parents and siblings. In addition, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency should be included in the differential diagnosis of dilatative cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence, the severity, and the course of neutropenia, neutrophil dysfunction, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in glycogen storage disease (GSD) type Ib. METHOD As part of a collaborative European Study on GSD type I, a retrospective registry was established in 12 European countries that included all patients with GSD-I who were known at the centers and were born from 1960 to 1995. Of a total of 288 patients with GSD-I, 57 who had GSD-Ib form the basis of this study. RESULTS Neutropenia (defined as an absolute neutrophil count <1 x 10(9)/L) was found in 54 patients. In 64% of the patients neutropenia was documented before the age of 1 year, but in 18% of the patients neutropenia was first noted between the ages of 6 and 9 years. Neutropenia was persistent in 5 patients and intermittent without any clear cyclical course in 45. Neutrophil function was investigated in 18 patients with neutropenia and was abnormal in all. Perioral infections were reported in 37 patients, perianal infections in 27 patients, and protracted diarrhea in 23 patients. Findings on colonoscopy and radiologic studies in 10 of 20 patients suspected to have IBD were abnormal in all. All patients with IBD, perioral infections, and perianal infections had neutropenia. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent severe neutropenia is frequently found in patients with GSD-Ib. The study also indicates that IBD in GSD-Ib is underdiagnosed; up to 77% of the patients studied had evidence of IBD, all of whom had neutropenia. IBD was not detected in those with normal neutrophil counts. These findings support the notion that neutropenia and/or neutrophil dysfunction in GSD-Ib and IBD are causally related.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The prerequisite for liver transplantation as a therapeutic option for inherited metabolic diseases should be that the enzyme defect, being responsible for the major clinical (hepatic and/or extra-hepatic) abnormalities, is localised in the liver. Furthermore, no adequate dietary or pharmacological treatment should be available or such treatment should have an unacceptable influence on the quality of life. We report an infant, who developed end-stage liver disease with persistent lactic acidaemia in his first months of life. Analysis of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in liver tissue revealed a combined partial complex I and IV deficiency. No extra-hepatic involvement could be demonstrated by careful screening for multiple organ involvement, including analysis of the mitochondrial respiratory chain in muscle tissue and cultured skin fibroblasts. The boy received a reduced size liver graft at the age of 8 months. He recovered successfully. Almost 5 years after transplantation he is in good clinical condition. No clinical or biochemical signs of any organ dysfunction have been demonstrated. The considerations on which basis it was decided that there was no contra-indication to perform liver transplantation in this patient are discussed. CONCLUSION The possibility of a mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency should be considered in liver disease of unknown origin prior to liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is a therapeutic option in mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency-based end-stage liver disease provided that extra-hepatic involvement is carefully excluded.

Abstract
Deficient activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) causes glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia). We analysed the G6Pase gene of 16 GSD Ia patients using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis prior to automated sequencing of exon(s) revealing an aberrant SSCP pattern. In all GSD Ia patients we were able to identify mutations on both alleles of the G6Pase gene, indicating that this method is a reliable procedure to identify mutations. Four novel mutations (175delGG, R170X, G266V and V338F) were identified.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We studied the glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) gene of 30 unrelated glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) patients using single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) prior to automated sequencing of exons revealing an aberrant SSCP pattern. In all patients we could identify mutations on both alleles of the G6Pase gene, indicating that this method is a reliable procedure. A total of 14 different mutations were identified. R83C (16/60), 158delC (12/60), Q347X (7/60), R170X (6/60) and deltaF327 (4/60) were found most frequently. Nine other mutations accounted for the other 15 mutant alleles. Two DNA-based prenatal diagnoses were performed successfully. At present, 56 mutations in the G6Pase gene have been reported in 300 unrelated GSD Ia patients and an overview of these mutations is presented. Evidence for a clear genotype-phenotype correlation could be established neither from our data nor from those in the literature. With increased knowledge about the genetic basis of GSD Ia and GSD Ib and the high detection rate of mutations, it is our opinion that the diagnoses GSD Ia and GSD Ib can usually be based on clinical and biochemical abnormalities combined with mutation analysis instead of enzyme assays in liver tissue obtained by biopsy. A newly developed flowchart for the diagnosis of GSD I is presented. CONCLUSION Increased knowledge of the genetic basis of glycogen storage disease type I provides a DNA-based diagnosis, prenatal DNA-based diagnosis in chorionic villus samples and carrier detection.

Abstract
We identified a novel mutation (867delA) in the glucose-6-phosphatase gene of two siblings with glycogen storage disease type Ia. Although both siblings share the same mutations, their phenotype regarding adult height and hepatomegaly differs. In glycogen storage disease type Ia, substantial heterogeneity in phenotype is observed. So far, no evidence for a clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been found. Hum Mutat 15:381, 2000.
