Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body is unable to process certain protein building blocks (amino acids) properly. The condition gets its name from the distinctive sweet odor of affected infants' urine.
Definition:
Many childhood conditions are caused by gene mutations that encode specific proteins. These mutations can result in the alteration of primary protein structure or the amount of protein synthesized.
The functional ability of protein, whether it is an enzyme, receptors, transport vehicle, membrane, or structural element, may be relatively or seriously compromised.
These hereditary biochemical disorders are collectively termed as ‘’Inborn errors of metabolism’’

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in decreased metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. A birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body.
Newborns should be screened for PKU.
Untreated phenylketonuria can lead to brain damage, intellectual disabilities, behavioural symptoms or seizures.
Treatment includes a strict diet with limited protein.
MSUD is metabolic genetic error . It happens due to lack of an enzyem that degrades specific amino acids
Homocystinuria is also a metbolic genetic error due to an enzyme defficiency it leads to an accumulation of homocystein and related chemical in the blood
An inherited enzyme deficiency leading to the disruption of normal bodily metabolism.
Accumulation of a toxic substrate.
Impaired formation of a product normally produced by the deficient enzyme.
Inborn errors of metabolism
Definition:- These are a group of rare genetic disorders in which the body cannot metabolize food components normally.
These disorders are usually caused by defects in the enzymes involved in the biochemical pathways that break down very essential biochemical components.
Homocystinuria is a disorder of methionine metabolism, leading to an abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites (homocystine, homocysteine-cysteine complex, and others) in blood and urine. Normally, these metabolites are not found in appreciable quantities in blood or urine.
Amino acid metabolism disorders are hereditary metabolic disorders. Hereditary disorders occur when parents pass the defective genes that cause these disorders on to their children. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and have many functions in the body. Hereditary disorders of amino acid processing (metabolism) can result from defects either in the breakdown of amino acids or in the body’s ability to get amino acids into cells.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
2. What is MSUD?
MSUD (Maple Syrup Urine Disease) is a recessive
metabolic disorder.
Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in
which the body is not able to process certain protein
building blocks (amino acids) properly.
3. Why is it called MSUD?
In the year 1954. A family in which four infants died
within the first three months of their lives due to a
neurodegenerative disorder.
The infants urine presented an odor reminiscent of
maple syrup, leading to the naming of the disorder
as, ‘Maple Syrup Urine Disease.
4. What are the symptoms?
If MSUD is not treated away or also properly you
can have many issues such as siezures,coma,poor
weight gain, Changes in muscle tone, muscle
spasms etc. also even death.
But most of this can be
Avoided if you take the proper
Medication.
5. Treatment of MSUD?
One long term treatment of MSUD is a unique diet.
that includes artificial infant formula containing low-
levels of amino acids.
People with MSUD pretty much have to remain in
this diet permanently if they don't well…they know
the consequences.
6. Overall, even though MSUD is life threatening, if
you just take the right medication and stay on a
unique diet then most chances are that you will
have a normal life.
Most children with MSUD make it to adulthood.
