Objectives: To evaluate prognostic factors of the growth hormone (GH) treatment effectiveness in children with Turner syndrome (TS).Methods: Retrospective observational study was conducted for 62 patients with TS (32 girls (52%) with 45,X karyotype, 8 (13%) with mosaic variant 45,X/46,XX, and 22 patients (35%) with structural abnormalities of X chromosome). All patients were treated with GH at a dose of 0.33 ...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and osteoprotegerin concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 120 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2017 to 2019 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), insulin were determined. In the biochemical blood test, the parameters of uric acid, insulin we...

Study aim was to create a prognostic algorithm of dopamine system dysfunction in pubertal age children, based on emotional instability markers, depending on body mass index and pubertal periods.Materials and Methods: Study subjects comprised 120 children (11.6 – 17.9 y/o, the 2nd – 5th Tanner stages) from Belarusian population between 2015 and 2017. Emotional status instability sings were obtained using th...

Objective: Determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 212 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2016 to 2018 years. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, insulin, uric acid were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity – 140 patients (90 boys(B)...

Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common genetic disease associated with the X-chromosome abnormality. Sex chromosome monosomy (45,X) occurs in 40–50% of the cases. 5% of patients with TS, in addition to cells lacking the genetic material of the X-chromosome, have a cell line with Y-chromosome, whether complete or not, which can be clinically manifested by virilization and mixed gonadal dysgenesis. Early identification of the Y-chromosome genetic material in patients with...

Background: Body image (BI) is subjective picture of one’s own physical appearance established both by self-observation and by noting the reactions of others. Different BI scales used for screening of the Binge Eating symptoms that strongly linked to obesity.Objective and hypotheses: We supposed to get differences in the own body image perception in overweight and lean children.Method: BI questionnaire (BIQ) and own body satis...

Background: It is hard to treat severe obese children only with diet and physical activity, psychological interventions are need.Objective and hypotheses: To examine the differences between courses of non-medicament treatment of severe obese children.Method: We examined 32 pubertal severe obese children BMI 31.2±0.8 kg/m2, 13.5±0.3 years. The newel (in Belarus) course of non-medicament treatment of obesity (die...

Background: Among alimentary factors leading to obesity in children, the main ones are: consumption of high-calorie foods with high content of carbohydrates and getting more calories during the second half of the day.Objective: To study feeding habits in children of different ages with alimentary obesity compared with normative values.Methods: We compared 3-day food diaries of 115 children with alimentary obesity with nutritional s...

Objective: Continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy (CSII) and therapy with insulin analogues are considered to provide physiological insulin replacement, which results in improvement of diabetes control. Rate metabolic compensation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in children on IPT and basal-bolus insulin therapy on the level HbA1c and self-control of glycemia.Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 88 histories of disease children with type 1 DM. The patients we...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disease characterized by a defect in one of steroidogenic enzymes or the gene encoding the transport proteins. Frequency of occurrence is 1: 14000 newborns.Objective: To determine the age, clinical manifestations, the incidence and the effectiveness of treatment various forms CAH in children.Materials: Medical History of 35 patients aged from ...
