The copper component may also support the enzymatic activity required for keratin synthesis the primary structural protein of the hair shaft
therefore, arginine dystrophy is also present
Skipping doses: Makes it harder to maintain balanced glutathione levels in the body
Major Criteria Congenital multiple contractures, characteristically adduction-flexion contractures and/or talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) Characteristic craniofacial features, which are evident at birth or in early infancy Characteristic cutaneous features including skin hyperextensibility, easy bruisability, skin fragility with atrophic scars, increased palmar wrinkling Minor Criteria Recurrent/chronic dislocations Pectus deformities (flat, excavated) Spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis) Peculiar fingers (tapering, slender, cylindrical) Progressive talipes deformities (valgus, planus, cavum) Large subcutaneous hematomas Chronic constipation Colonic diverticula Pneumothorax/ pneumohemothorax Nephrolithiasis/cystolithiasis Hydronephrosis Cryptorchidism in males Strabismus Refractive errors (myopia, astigmatism) Glaucoma/elevated intraocular pressure Myopathic EDS (mEDS) If a person meets the diagnostic criteria for mEDS, genetic testing should be done to confirm the diagnosis
Rationale in Concussion: Diagnosis: A concussed brain often shows a characteristic "slowing" of brainwave activityan increase in slow Delta and Theta waves and a decrease in fast Alpha and Beta waves in specific cortical areas
