An honour to be featured in the latest issue of Middle East Health, highlighting our pioneering treatment approach for children with AADC deficiency. is one of only a few facilities in the world offering this effective treatment for this debilitating and life limiting condition.

Professor Manju Kurian, Consultant Paediatric Neurologist at , highlighted the impact of AADC on children's lives and how this novel treatment approach supports their future:

"AADC deficiency is a rare condition, but often a cruel one. We know children with the condition have painful episodes that can last for hours and, as their condition progresses, their life becomes more and more limited. It’s incredible to me that I can now prescribe novel gene therapies under similar processes to paracetamol and antibiotics.

We work collaboratively across teams inside and outside the hospital, from physios and surgeons to dietitians and speech therapists, alongside partnerships with companies who supply these therapies."

Important clues into what is driving arthritis in children have been revealed by a groundbreaking study on which researchers worked together with the University of Birmingham, University College London and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Now for the first time, scientists have been able to uncover the unique architecture of cells and signals inside inflamed joints, decoding why treatments affect children differently.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) affects over 10,000 children in the UK, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness that can lead to long-term disability. While treatments exist, there is still no cure, and not all treatment approaches work for every child.

In this study, researchers used advanced imaging and gene profiling to analyse tiny tissue samples safely collected from children’s joints. They discovered the cellular fingerprints and differences that could help tailor treatments more effectively.

Aurelia, one of the young participants, loves art, drama and sports. After being diagnosed with arthritis at , she took part in the study and is now managing her symptoms well. 💙

This groundbreaking work is a powerful example of collaboration between researchers, families and young patients to improve care and find better solutions for the future.

تم الكشف عن أدلة مفتاحية حول العوامل المسببة لإلتهاب المفاصل لدى الأطفال في دراسة رائدة نفذها باحثو بالإشتراك مع باحثي جامعة برمنغهام، كلية لندن الجامعية ومستشفى برمنغهام للأطفال. وتمكن العلماء من خلال هذا الإكتشاف من إماطة اللثام عن البنية الفريدة للخلايا والإشارات العصبية داخل المفاصل الملتهبة، وفهم سبب استجابة الأطفال للعلاجات بطرق مختلفة.

يعاني أكثر من 10,000 طفل في المملكة المتحدة من التهاب المفاصل مجهول السبب لدى الأطفال (JIA)، مسبباً لهم الألم، والتورَّم، والتيبَّس، ما قد يؤدي إلى إعاقة دائمة. وفي غياب علاجٍ شافٍ تماماً، تستخدم علاجات لتخفيف الأعراض، لكنها لا تنجح مع كل طفل.

في هذه الدراسة، استخدم الباحثون تقنيات التصوير المتقدمة وتحليل الجينات لدراسة عينات من أنسجة مفاصل الأطفال التي تم جمعها بأمان. وكشفوا بصمات خلوية وفروقًا قد تساعد في تصميم العلاجات بشكل أكثر فعالية في المستقبل.

وقد كانت الطفلة أوريليا المولعة بالفن والدراما والرياضة إحدى المشاركات في الدراسة إذ تم تشخيصها بالتهاب المفاصل في . وهي الآن تدير أعراضها بشكل جيد. 💙

يمثل هذا العمل الرائد مثالاً قوياً على التعاون بين الباحثين، والأسر، والمرضى اليافعين لتحسين الرعاية وإيجاد حلول أفضل للمستقبل.
