ALPER DISEASE: Progressive Infantile Poliodystrophy. Cases of Alper disease may be caused by disorders of oxidative phosphorylation, including mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes APHASIA: Impaired or absent language function, usually referring to speech; which results from an injury to brain structures usually in the dominant hemisphere (the side of the brain that controls language function is usually the side opposite to the handedness of the person and is referred to as the dominant hemisphere by definition)

Extractions: http://www.umdf.org/ SEE/HEAR Editor's note: A number of children in Texas who are visually impaired or deafblind have as the cause of their sensory loss, Mitochondrial diseases. In order to understand more about these diseases, I visited the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation website. I learned that we have a great opportunity in Texas to learn more about these diseases because their 5th International Conference on Mitochondrial Diseases will be held this year in Dallas. I want to thank the UMDF for letting me excerpt portions of the wealth of information they provide on their website to share with our SEE/HEAR readers. I encourage you to visit this website if you have a child with a Mitochondrial disease or if you are a teacher working with one of these children. Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondria, specialized compartments present in every cell of the body except red blood cells. Mitochondria are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life and support growth. When they fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. Cell injury and even cell death follow. If this process is repeated throughout the body, whole systems begin to fail, and the life of the person in whom this is happening is severely compromised. The disease primarily affects children, but adult onset is becoming more and more common.

J. Prick, F. J. Gabreels, W. O. Renier, J. M. Trijbels, R. C. Sengers and J. L. Slooff Progressive infantile poliodystrophy (Alpers' disease) is associated with abnormalities in pyruvate metabolism or in cell mitochondria. A 3-year-old-boy had a severe and rapidly progressive neurologic disorder characterized by psycho-motor retardation, tetraparesis, ataxia, and myoclonic jerks, the illness being exacerbated during periods of infection.

Extractions: A chemical formed in the blood when the body uses fat instead of glucose (sugar) for energy. If acetone forms, it usually means that the cells do not have enough insulin, or cannot use the insulin that is in the blood, to use glucose for energy. Acetone passes through the body into the urine. Someone with a lot of acetone in the body can have breath that smells fruity and is called "acetone breath." See also: Ketone bodies.
