Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEMs) are a heterogeneous collection of inherited genetic illnesses resulting from abnormalities in enzymes, transport proteins, or cofactors involved in important metabolic pathways. These deficiencies interfere with normal biochemical processes leading to buildup of harmful metabolites, deficiency of important metabolic products and gradual multisystem dysfunction. Vitamin supplementation, dietary modification and supportive care remain the mainstay of…

Background: Intraoperative hypoxemia is common unwanted situation. It is important to figure out the mechanism which caused hypoxemia to individual patients.

This study evaluated the physiological effects of dietary supplementation of Acalypha wilkesiana Leaf Powder (AWLP) and Ascorbic Acid (AA) on the haematology, serum biochemistry, and serum mineral profiles of matured rabbit bucks. Fifty matured crossbred bucks (New Zealand White×Chinchilla), weight-balanced and acclimatized for two weeks, were randomly assigned to five distinct dietary treatments (n=10 per treatment) in a Completely Randomized Design. Treatment 1 (T1) received a basal…
