Affecting mostly newbornes?
I've forgotten all my college chemistry. Godzilla will know. Check out the last paragraph, it may be meaningful, or not:
In maple syrup urine disease, the odor is described as "caramel-like," "malty," or like "maple syrup."
It was determined that 4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2[5H]-furanone (sotolone), a well-known flavor impact compound also present in fenugreek, lovage and buckwheat honey13, is responsible for the characteristic odor in the urine of affected individuals. The common name given to the disease is thus quite appropriate, as maple syrup also contains sotolone.*
Ingestion of fenugreek (a leguminous herb cultivated in southern Europe, northern Africa and India) resulted in a false suspicion of maple syrup urine disease when the doctor noticed the characteristic smell of the patient's urine. It has been reported where the patient was given fenugreek tea15 or a folk remedy containing the plant.
*Sotolon, also known as sotolone and fenugreek lactone, is an extremely powerful aroma compound with the typical smell of fenugreek and maple syrup.
The GC-MS analyses of ethanolic extracts from hairy roots revealed the presence of two important compounds: sotolone (1.2% of the volatile fraction) and 3-amino-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (17% of the volatile fraction). These results point out that biotechnological production of sotolone in bioreactors is possible.
Not that I know of.
I've seen that word before -- fenugreek.
FENUGREEK on the blogs, in the news and ON THE NET...

Bioreactor:
An apparatus, such as a large fermentation chamber, for growing organisms such as bacteria or yeast that are used in the biotechnological production of
substances such as pharmaceuticals, antibodies, or vaccines, or for the bioconversion of organic waste.

Thank you Lucy.
That's good to know.
I could be wrong, but I believe the smell of cyanide is almond-like.
You're welcome, here's this:
Fenugreek is also one of four herbs used for the Iranian recipe Ghormeh Sabzi.
A side effect of consuming even small amounts of fenugreek is a maple syrup or curry smell in the eater's sweat and urine which is caused by the potent aroma compound sotolone.*
Fenugreek is frequently used in the production of flavoring for artificial syrups.
The taste of toasted fenugreek is additionally based on substituted pyrazines, as is cumin. By itself, it has a somewhat bitter taste.

You know, since I've only seen that word recently on the net; I assume I must of have seen it in connection with a recipe.

NUCLEAR TERRORISM
What We're Doing To Prevent It
10/28/05
It's virtually unthinkable —a nuclear attack by terrorists. But to protect the nation, we have to think about it—to plan and prepare now...and more importantly, to take aggressive steps to help ensure that it never happens.
On 10/26, FBI Counterterrorism exec John Lewis testified on this subject before a House Subcommittee on Prevention of Nuclear and Biological Attack.
His message? As the "lead law enforcement and investigative agency charged with responding to terrorist threats involving nuclear weapons or materials," we're absolutely committed to using the full range of our skills and resources to protect the country from the threat of nuclear terrorism. But we can't—and don't—do the job alone. We coordinate closely with a range of partners—including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy—and draw on specific expertise from across government and even overseas.
A few examples of these partnered initiatives:
National and international efforts to "prevent terrorists from accessing, using, or smuggling nuclear weapons—or the materials needed (such as enriched uranium and plutonium) to construct" them—including through interagency nuclear smuggling focus groups, through our coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at American ports, and by working with experts at the Department of Energy and national labs to obtain "rapid technical analysis" of suspect materials.
Initiatives between our 50+ overseas offices and our international partners to reduce and expose the illicit trafficking of nuclear materials worldwide. We teach classes on the subject, too.
Initiatives and incident response plans between our 56 field offices across the country and "security personnel at critical nuclear facilities." We also play a leadership role within the interagency Domestic Nuclear Detection Office charged with strengthening the nation's ability to detect the movement of illegal nuclear devices or fissile material.
In-depth assessments from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California to help us "determine the credibility of nuclear/radiological materials," including issues related to both the possession and potential use of such materials.
Four Department of Energy/FBI tabletop training exercises a year for state and local law enforcement and first responders to improve the government's emergency response capabilities.
There are plenty more details in the full testimony , and, given the importance of the threat of nuclear terrorism, we encourage everyone to take the time to read it.
As Mr. Lewis concludes, "We will do everything in our power to anticipate these threats and prevent them from becoming a reality."

Acclimatization maybe?
You're welcome Cindy. Makes me wonder how accessible those stealth-bomber plans were - it seems too easily, I'm afraid.
Anything is possible.
Yep, and it also made me wonder if applications of the technology was used in/on other flying apparatus, too.
Sighing...
Many could stand to walk a mile in the Nigerian RX's shoes. I sympathize with what she has endured and our nation's churches would benefit from taking this woman and having her speak to their congregations to bring them up to snuff about the state of religion in the context of the world she knows and has personally experienced.
