Maple Syrup Urine Disease Maple syrup urine disease or MSUD is a genetically inherited disease‚ characterized by a maple syrup odor found in the sweat‚ urine and earwax of affected individuals. This metabolic disorder was first documented in medical literature in 1954 by John Hans Menkes‚ a pediatric neurologist who would also discover Menkes Disease. People with this condition lack specific enzymes required to metabolize certain amino acids. It is also commonly known as BCKD deficiency‚ branched

Formation of contract The green van Hubert’s initial e-mail is merely an invitation to treat‚ demonstrating only a willingness to negotiate rather than an intention to be bound by acceptance. The response from Philip to Hubert’s preliminary enquiry about the green van is‚ however‚ clearly an offer. There is intention to be bound by acceptance‚ demonstrated by the expression “when do you want it?”‚ combined with identification of the essential elements – the price (£30‚000) and the subjects (the

Huong Trinh Maple syrup urine disease Summary Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism which is caused by the branched-chain amino acid metabolism disorder. This disease happens when the body is unable to process certain protein blocks (amino acids) properly‚ then accumulate abnormally in the cells and fluids of the body‚ usually associated with newborn babies. Notably‚ the urine of patients often has a strong maple syrup odor. MSUD patients have inherited one

Composition and Formation of Myelin Sheath Molecular Neurobiology Myelin may be made by different cell types‚ varies in chemical composition and configuration‚ but performs the same insulating function. Myelin is about 40% water; the dry mass of myelin is about 70 - 85% lipids and about 15 - 30% proteins. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP)‚ myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)‚ and proteolipid protein (PLP). The primary lipid of myelin is a glycolipid

through agriculture. Throughout the years‚ a lot of fertilizers were improvised‚ mostly for the comfort of the Filipino farmers. Human urine‚ for example‚ is a well-balanced nitrogen-rich quick-reacting liquid fertilizer. It contains nitrogen‚ potassium and phosphorus and other nutrients depending on the diet. The health risks associated with use of human urine in plant production are generally low‚ that is why it’s an adequate plant fertilizer. On another note‚ Indian tree (Polyalthia longifolia)

GASEOUS DISCHARGE LAMPS: A gaseous discharge lamp is essentially a glass or quartz envelop containing two electrodes and a small quantity of gas or vapour at a low pressure. In these lamps light is obtained by applying an electric potential difference to a gas or vapour contained by the lamp under a suitable pressure. Due to application of electric potential difference gas gets ionised and an electric current flows; the tube is filled with a luminous discharge. The light spectrum

Some of these discoveries and theories include planetary accretion‚ the differences between inner and outer planets‚ the formation of planetary rings‚ how the asteroid belt got there‚ the formation of Earth’s moon‚ and the unusual rotation of the planet Uranus. Proper understanding of each of these discoveries and theories is important when learning about our universe. Planetary Accretion Planetary accretion
