Dysautonomia in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Case Reports of a Family with Review of the Literature / Derrick LONSDALE in Autism Research and Treatment, (April 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (April 2011) . - 7 p. Titre : Dysautonomia in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Case Reports of a Family with Review of the Literature Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Derrick LONSDALE, Auteur ; Raymond J. SHAMBERGER, Auteur ; Mark E. OBRENOVICH, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 7 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Case histories of a mother and her two children are reported. The mother was a recovered alcoholic. She and her two children, both of whom had symptoms that are typical of autistic spectrum disorder, had dysautonomia. All had intermittently abnormal erythrocyte transketolase studies indicating abnormal thiamine pyrophosphate homeostasis. Both children had unusual concentrations of urinary arsenic. All had symptomatic improvement with diet restriction and supplementary vitamin therapy but quickly relapsed after ingestion of sugar, milk, or wheat. The stress of a heavy metal burden, superimposed on existing genetic or epigenetic risk factors, may be important in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder when in combination. Dysautonomia has been associated with several diseases, including autism, without a common etiology. It is hypothesized that oxidative stress results in loss of cellular energy and causes retardation of hard wiring of the brain in infancy, affecting limbic system control of the autonomic nervous system.

Developing a Deeper Understanding of Autism: Connecting Knowledge through Literature Mining / Marta MACEDONI-LUKSIC in Autism Research and Treatment, (April 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (April 2011) . - 8 p. Titre : Developing a Deeper Understanding of Autism: Connecting Knowledge through Literature Mining Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marta MACEDONI-LUKSIC, Auteur ; Ingrid PETRIC, Auteur ; Bojan CESTNIK, Auteur ; Tanja URBANCIC, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 8 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In the field of autism, an enormous increase in available information makes it very difficult to connect fragments of knowledge into a more coherent picture. We present a literature mining method, RaJoLink, to search for matched themes in unrelated literature that may contribute to a better understanding of complex pathological conditions, such as autism. 214 full text articles on autism, published in PubMed, served as a source of data. Using ontology construction, we identified the main concepts of what is already known about autism. Then, the RaJoLink method, based on Swanson's ABC model, was used to reveal potentially interesting, but not yet investigated, connections between different concepts in research. Among the more interesting concepts identified with RaJoLink in our study were calcineurin and NF-kappaB. Both terms can be linked to neuro-immune abnormalities in the brain of patients with autism. Further research is needed to provide stronger evidence about calcineurin and NF-kappaB involvement in autism. However, the analysis presented confirms that this method could support experts on their way towards discovering hidden relationships and towards a better understanding of the disorder.
