Re: Question about tonight's episode of ER

[Guest guest]

Sialidosis is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by a

deficiency of the enzyme alpha-neuraminidase. This disorder belongs to a

group of diseases known as lysosomal disorders. Lysosomes are particles bound

in membranes within cells that break down certain fats and carbohydrates. The

deficiency of alpha-neuraminidase that characterizes Sialidosis leads to the

abnormal accumulation of certain complex carbohydrates (mucopolysaccharides)

and certain fatty substances (mucolipids) in many tissues of the body.

Previously known as Mucolipidosis I, Sialidosis belongs to a subgroup of

lysosomal diseases known as Mucolipidoses.

Could it be this? Found it in Stedmans

sialidosis

Syn: cherry-red spot myoclonus syndrome.

Question about tonight's episode of ER

Ok, I admit it, I am an ER junkie. I excuse this by saying that watching

helps my transcription skills.

Well, this is not really so far fetched.

Consider tonight's episode: Baby is born at home, comes into the hospital

with trouble breathing. Diagnosis: something which sounds like " siladosis " .

I have never heard of this so I go to look it up. How would you spell this?

ciladosis

cilodosis

cyladosis

cylodosis

psiladosis

psylodosis

siladosis

silodosis

sciladosis

scilodosis

or maybe it is scilidosis, not with an a or an o, or some other variation on

the theme!

In any event, I could not spell it, so I could not document it.

Anyone out there have a clue as to what this is/how it is spelled? Apparently

it is a life-limiting problem, leading to brain injury in the newborn on the

show.

Next time, I watch ER for pure enjoyment of the plot only!

Thanks.

Not really on this subject but I am curious...a couple of you have two

messages come through saying the same thing but in different format or

font? Why does this happen?

I get a box when I am ready to send asking me what style I want to send it

Hi Aliceanne!

That's exactly what you're being asked! Different mail programs

ask it different ways. What mail program are you using?
