A group of 158 patients with congestive heart failure was studied in detail concerning other types of morbidity. The purpose was to evaluate how often classification according to the NYHA system was disturbed by intercurrent disease with a similar set of symptoms. At the same time, a visual analogue scale for the evaluation of physical capacity was tested. Seventy-eight per cent of the patients had intercurrent disease putting them at risk of inadequate NYHA classification. There was no correlation between the patients' NYHA class and grade or type of echocardiographic ventricular dysfunction. However there was a correlation between NYHA class and the presence of intercurrent disease.

The emergence of various non-communicable diseases in these prolonged survivors is a cause of concern. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in adults with HIV infection in India has not been explored to date.

Background: Little is known about how younger and older hospitalized patients differ with respect to reasons for admission, comorbidities, diagnostics, treatment and intercurrent problems.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the previously named characteristics in the clinical profile of patients > 90 years old (nonagenarians) with a control group of patients 70-75 years old admitted to an emergency hospital department for internal medicine and cardiology.
Material And Method: The study included all consecutive nonagenarians and gender-matched control patients who were admitted during 2011.

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by the accumulation of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) caused by a defect in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Liver transplant is an effective therapy for MSUD, and patients can usually tolerate a regular diet after transplant without symptomatic metabolic decompensation. Most post-transplant patients do not follow a sick-day diet.

Introduction: Biallelic variants in QARS1, a house-keeping gene involved in protein synthesis, cause a rare encephalopathy classically characterized by severe developmental delay, drug-resistant neonatal-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, and brain atrophy. We aim to raise awareness on mild QARS1-related phenotypes describing a 6-year-old patient.
Case Description: Epilepsy onset occurred at 3.
