Propionic acidemia and sensorineural hearing loss: is there a connection at the molecular genetics level?
Mutation of the PCCB subunit p.R113X has not previously been mentioned in the literature. According to our present knowledge no connection can be assumed between either of the two mutations and the severe sensorineural hearing loss.
The RAP score is a novel and clinically useful risk scoring system for readmission after pancreatectomy. Identification of patients with increased risk of readmission using the RAP score will allow efficient resource allocation aimed to attenuate readmission rates. It also has potential to serve as a new metric for comparative research and quality assessment.
