Manifestations of chronic selenium deficiency in a child receiving total parenteral nutrition

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
C L Kien, H E Ganther

Abstract

A child receiving total parenteral nutrition for about 1 1/2 yr developed intermittent leg muscle pain and tenderness and elevation in serum activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and creatine kinase. Approximately 6 months later he developed white fingernail beds. Detailed cardiological evaluation revealed no evidence of cardiac muscle cell damage despite markedly elevated serum activities of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase. Retrospective analyses of serum and 24 hr urine samples collected during this period demonstrated very low serum Se concentration (0.003 to 0.007 micrograms/g) and urine excretion (0.0 to 8.9 micrograms/day) Se. Intravenous Se supplementation (42 micrograms/day elemental Se as H2SeO3) and a prospective study of biochemical Se status were begun 33.5 months after initiation of total parenteral nutrition. Serum Se concentration and whole blood glutathione peroxidase activity and Se concentration were respectively 0.020 mu/g, 3.5 EU/g Hb, and 0.018 microgram/g, 1 month after intravenous Se therapy was started. These very low values increased after further Se therapy. Serum enzyme activities markedly improved and the fingernail bed abnormalities resolved after therapy.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
