Long-term N-carbamylglutamate treatment of hyperammonemia in patients with classic organic acidemias.

Background: Classic organic acidurias (OAs) usually characterized by recurrent episodes of acidemia, ketonuria, and hyperammonemia leading to coma and even death if left untreated. Acute hyperammonemia episodes can be treated effectively with N-carbamylglutamate (NCG). The effect of the long-term efficacy of N-carbamylglutamate is little known.

Spectrum of the neurologic manifestations in childhood-onset cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome.

Objective: Neurologic complications of chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous and articular syndrome (CINCA) are well-known, whereas there are scarce data regarding neurologic features of milder cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) phenotypes. We aimed to review the neurologic features in detail and summarize the other CAPS-related manifestations in 12 children.

Methods: All children with CAPS that have been followed-up from pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic, were enrolled to the study.
