Pathogenic variants in the NGLY1 gene are associated with a Congenital Disorder of Deglycosylation (CDDG) characterized by delays in reaching developmental milestones, complex hyperkinetic movement disorder, transient elevation of transaminases, and alacrima or hypolacrima. To date, only few cases of NGLY1 deficiency have been identified and reported in the literature. This report highlights a first child of non-consanguineous parents with no relevant family history who presented with hypotonia and poor weight gain since birth. At 2 months, the child developed paroxysmal cervical dystonia, posteriorly resolving spontaneously by age of 3. Subsequently, delays in reaching developmental milestones, ataxia, dyskinesia, visual impairment due to cone rod retinal dystrophy, low triglycerides, and persistently elevated liver transaminases were observed. Extensive etiological investigation was performed, including array-CGH and metabolic evaluation with no abnormalities to note. Trio whole exome analysis identified a homozygous pathogenic variant of the NGLY gene, c.1891del (p.Gln631Serfs*7), consistent with CDDG. Both parents were confirmed to be heterozygous carriers. The authors discuss in this case, the clinical presentation, the diagnostic challenges, and review other relevant NGLY1 deficiency cases previously reported in the literature. This case, along with the previous reported in the literature, indicates that pathogenic variants in NGLY1 cause a recognizable phenotype and should be considered in patients with a typical presentation. It also suggests that decreased sweating is not present universally in these patients.

Background: Glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) was initially reported by De Vivo and colleagues in 1991. This disease arises from mutations in the SLC2A1 and presents with a broad clinical spectrum. It is a treatable neuro-metabolic condition, where prompt diagnosis and initiation of ketogenic dietary therapy can markedly enhance the prognosis.

In the US, gay, bisexual, and other sexual minoritized men (GBSMM) remain disproportionately impacted by HIV, and continue to experience unmet needs for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). A growing body of literature has underscored the need to consider the geographic factors of HIV prevention, particularly beyond administrative boundaries and towards localized spaces that influence the accessibility and utilization of health-promoting resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the associations of driving times from activity spaces to PrEP offering facilities and individual PrEP uptake.

Potential Health Risks from Heavy Metal in Green Mussels (Perna Viridis) From the Southeastern Part of the Bay of Bengal.

Biol Trace Elem Res

Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, University of Chittagong, Chittagong, 4331, Bangladesh.

The Southeastern part of the Bay of Bengal is increasingly threatened by heavy metal pollution, posing significant risks to both aquatic life and human health. In this context, the contamination levels of six heavy metals-Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), and Iron (Fe)-were assessed in the soft tissues of Green mussels (Perna viridis) from five key sites: Matamuhuri, Moheshkhali, Bakhkhali, Naf, and St. Martin.

Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a clinical syndrome defined by recurrent episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), episodes of cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Symptoms typically manifest in the second or third decade with another small peak in the fourth decade. In this report we describe the case of a 64-year-old woman presenting with new-onset visual hallucinations as the main complaint.
