![]() ![]() MSUD is typically diagnosed at birth via newborn screening and incidence is estimated at 1 in 185,000 people worldwide and 1 in 220,000 people in the United States. Although metabolic management of the disease is possible via a highly restrictive diet, the outcome is unpredictable, and a significant portion of affected individuals are mentally impaired or experience neurological complications. The most severe presentation of MSUD, known as “classic” MSUD, accounts for 80% of cases and can result in neonatal onset with encephalopathy and coma. Left untreated, this can result in neurological damage, mental disability, coma, or death. MSUD is a rare inherited disorder caused by a deficiency of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, resulting in elevated blood levels of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, valine, and isoleucine, as well as the associated branched-chain ketoacids (BCKA) in a patient’s blood. 6 The results suggested that sodium phenylbutyrate could be safely administered in combination with emergency protocol using other active pharmaceuticals and may provide additional clinical benefit beyond emergency protocol alone. In November 2020, study results evaluating the effect of sodium phenylbutyrate in the management of acute metabolic decompensation in pediatric MSUD patients (n=10) were published by investigators from Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty in the peer-reviewed Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism showing a significant reduction in leucine levels in MSUD patients experiencing an acute attack. ![]() The investigators found that sodium phenylbutyrate, when dosed over three days, showed a statistically significant reduction of leucine in all three healthy subjects and in three out of the five MSUD patients who participated in the trial. 2īased on this clinical observation, investigators at Baylor College of Medicine explored the potential of sodium phenylbutyrate treatment to lower BCAA and corresponding branched-chain α-ketoacid (BCKA) levels in both healthy subjects and patients with MSUD. 1,2,3,4 Analysis of data from a longitudinal multicenter study of 553 UCD patients treated with sodium phenylbutyrate demonstrated that sodium phenylbutyrate decreased plasma BCAA in patients with UCDs and could serve as a therapy in maple syrup urine disease and other common complex disorders with dysregulation of BCAA metabolism. Multiple investigational trials evaluating sodium phenylbutyrate in urea cycle disorder (UCD) patients suggest treatment with sodium phenylbutyrate is associated with selective reduction in BCAA despite adequate dietary protein intake. The proposed initial Phase 2a, open-label dose-ranging trial is designed to evaluate the effect of different doses of ACER-001 (sodium phenylbutyrate) on blood leucine and other branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) levels in MSUD patients. We look forward to the initiation of this investigational trial and learning more about ACER-001’s potential to reduce branched-chain amino acids, and specifically leucine levels, in MSUD patients.” “Even with strict dietary management, people with MSUD still remain at serious risk for a wide range of life-threatening complications. “We are very pleased to expand ACER-001’s clinical development into a second rare disease, and one for which there are currently no approved pharmacologic therapies,” said Adrian Quartel, MD, FFPM, Chief Medical Officer of Acer. Currently, the only treatment option for patients with MSUD is a life-long, protein-restricted diet. Left untreated, MSUD leads to elevated plasma concentrations of these amino acids, which can lead to chronic and acute neurological damage, ranging from developmental delays in children, seizures, cognitive challenges and in some cases death. MSUD is a rare, life-threatening metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency in an enzyme complex that metabolizes branched chain ketoacids, the breakdown products of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, valine, and isoleucine.

Not just in an inquisitive way to find out what happened to the order. They even forgot ones drink today and when they were asked about it, a staff member, in a rude tone, asked if she even paid for it. ![]() I have multiple other coworkers that have had consistently negative experiences with the staff at this location. Finally got my drink while the others were still waiting on their mobile orders that were placed before mine. I’m annoyed and about to be late for work at this point and had to leave. So I ask if it was for me and a different worker said “yea I’ll give it to you in a minute” and walked away. The person behind the counter said (with attitude) “I’m going to start them soon.”įine I waited. I asked about the mobile orders since people were coming in and getting their orders that were just placed and ours weren’t even started. About 15 min after I saw a couple of other people waiting and asked if they were waiting for their mobile orders and they were. I pre ordered my drink and arrived a little early so I didn’t mind waiting. The manager is nice but the staff is pretty rude a lot of the time and forget drinks then give you attitude like it’s your fault they didn’t make it. But the experience is why they get 1 star. I would encourage you to do the same! :-) I would definitely love to go back and try the rest of their menu. Unfortunately they do not deviate from that, but it's still worth asking. The only thing that was a little odd was they cut their menu in half when there is a show at Gammage across the street so that they can get orders out quickly. I liked the random pictures on the wall, the multi-colored light fixtures, and the diner seating right up front. It was a very clean establishment, bright, open, and colorful.

I also appreciated the multitude of hot sauce options available. My only qualm was the potatoes could have been crispier, a problem easily solved by me ordering them well done next time. For the price, the amount of food I got was great and on my best day I couldn't have finished it all. My peach cream muffin that I got in lieu of toast was soft and tasty as well. Anyone who routinely orders over medium knows that actually getting an over medium egg is a shot in the dark and we routinely settle for over easy as the over medium egg is ever so elusive to your average line cook. The portion was large and thick and the breading was perfect as was the sausage gravy blanketing this massive fried steak. Anytime I try a new place I get their chicken fried steak with eggs over medium. I knew I would be up at 6am for a work thing today so I made a point to pack up the laptop and went shortly after opening to avoid the crowd.

In ancient Japan, mirrors were especially revered as rare and mysterious objects. During excavations of the Kurotsuka kofun (tomb) in Nara, archeologists discovered 33 similar bronze mirrors dating to the 3rd-7th centuries. The Emperor Cao Rui and the Wei Court of China reputedly gifted numerous bronze mirrors (then known as shinju-kyo in Japan) to Queen Himiko of Wa (Japan). They were regarded as sacred because they were thought to hold magical properties.Īs use of bronze mirrors became widespread in China, the ancient craft of mirror-making spread to neighboring Korea and Japan.

But where to start? I Googled “author platform” and found an interview with a literary agent. Likely the publishing world considered me a has-been, which meant I probably needed to increase my profile. I’d taken a break from publishing and gone back to graduate school to improve my writing chops. It was as if my manuscript had been sucked into a black hole of indifference. Weeks passed… a few rejections trickled in. I have my standards.ĭays passed… nothing. I’d take five figures but that’s as low as I’d go. I was cautiously hoping for an auction, and if not an auction definitely a pre-empt. I’m a multi-published author with respectable sales, and I thought this new novel was my best ever. Instead, I filed it away with other impossible dreams like wanting to be a supermodel (I’m five foot two, middle-aged and a size eight) or winning the lottery (even though I never buy tickets).
