Case report: Multicomponent intervention for severe food selectivity in autism spectrum disorder: a single case study.

Food selectivity is common in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The treatment used can be invasive and difficult to implement, necessitating the exploration of multicomponent approaches. This study presents the case of a 9-year-old autistic girl with severe food selectivity, who ate exclusively liquid and semi-solid foods.

[Adrenaline and beta 2 adrenergics].

Adrenalin is the drug for anaphylactic shock. The product is usable directly by the patient in the form of an auto-injectable kit, by the physician who treats by the sublingual or subcutaneous routes, in a resuscitation unit extra and inter-hospital by the intra-veinous route with cardiac monitoring. Precaution have to be observed (in angina especially), but it is without formal contra-indications.

Relationship between fat intake and glomerular filtration rate in normotensive insulin-dependent diabetic patients.

Glomerular hyperfiltration is a candidate marker for diabetic nephropathy in insulin-dependent diabetic patients since it can reflect elevated glomerular capillary pressure, a cause of glomerulosclerosis. We studied the potential contribution of several dietary components to glomerular hyperfiltration during a cross-sectional study of 110 consecutive normotensive, non-proteinuric insulin-dependent patients with respect to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and food intake. GFR was measured using the 51Cr-EDTA plasma disappearance technique.

Non-coordinated biosynthesis of early complement components in a deficiency of complement proteins C1r and C1s.

We report on a 60-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and a total (95%) C1r and a partial (36%) C1s deficiency. The patient complained about cutaneous lesions on forearms and legs without other systemic involvement. Elevated anti-nuclear, anti-native DNA and anti-SSA antibodies were present.
