Purpose: Small for gestational age(SGA)babies at increased risk of growth retardation. This is very important issues for them but lacks attention. So we hope this study deserves better guidance. The objectives of this paper is to illustrate the importance of this critical issues and to outline growth prognosis at the beginning of adolescence of female and male babies born small for gestational age(SGA) in comparision to controls born appropriate for gestationa...

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is rare disease which prevalence is estimated as 1:2500 to 1:50000 born newborns. Main reason of the disease are genetic mutations in genes responsible for regulation of insulin secretion. First line treatment is diazoxide therapy.Our patient was diagnosed with CHI at the age of 2 months. Biochemical tests prooved diagnosis of CHI. He presented lack of negative feedback and secreted pathologic amount of insulin – dur...

Introduction: Human newborn(NWB) respiratory derangements may be concomitant to oral/enteral caloric intake (KOE) insufficiency. We evidenced a possible involvement of axillary temperature(TEMP) in relationships between preterm birth (PTB) and blood serum Insulin-like Growth Factor-I(IG1) in NWBs. Here we evaluate the TEMP-independent role of birth gestational age(GA) and KOE in relations of O2 supplementation in respiratory gases(O2S) to IG1 in the not-life-t...

Congenital hyperinsulinemia occurs due to inappropriate insulin secretion from beta cells of the pancreas. It is the most common cause of resistant and recurrent hypoglycemia in neonates and infants and the threatment is very difficult. Although the incidence is reported as 1/50000, it is seen more frequently in consanguineous countries. Patients may present with lethargy, nourishment, irritability and seizures. If it is not treated, severe hypoglycemia may result in severe ne...

Background: Transient hyperinsulinism (HI) is a condition characterized by high insulin level, low FFA level in a context of severe hypoglycemia in neonate. Our objective is to present a case of a transient hypoglycemia in a newborn. Evaluation and management of this condition is discussed.Case presentation: A 14days old term baby was diagnosed with bilateral bronchopneumonia. He received antibiotics and nasal drop. On d...
