The Validation of an Automated Bone Age Assessment in Girls with Turner Syndrome – A Pilot Study

Soucek Ondrej , Lebl Jan , Maratova Klara , Zemkova Dana , Sumnik Zdenek

Background: Bone age evaluation is a basic tool to manage the treatment of girls with Turner syndrome (TS). The current standard of care is to involve an experienced medical staff to use the Tanner Whitehouse 3 (TW3) or Greulich-Pyle (GP) method for manual evaluation of the bone age. As this is time consuming and may be partially influenced by the evaluators skills, automated systems may prove more efficient.Objective and hypothesis: The aim of thi...

In 2014 Varna Pediatric Endocrine Society started a program for timely diagnosis and treatment of stature deviations. GPs with 23 058 children under their care were trained and provided with a specialized auxological software to warn them for every stature deviation. From the expected 692 children with short stature (3% of the total), only 33 (0.14%) were sent for further evaluation.

It represents the backflow of urine from bladder to upper urinary structures due to a defect in closure of uretero-vesical junction. This condition predisposes children to repetitive pyelonephritis associated with renal scarring.Objective: Studies are continuously searching for the potential effect of VUR on growth. We aimed to assess growth indices: height...

A Novel in Frame Deletion Mutation in Exon11 in BTK Gene to X-linked Agammaglobulinemia: Case Report and Function Analysis

Xiaomei Hu , Ke Yuan

Objective: X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a kind of primary immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding Bruton agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase (BTK). This study, we identified a novel in frame deletion mutation in exon11, c.902 _ c.904 delAAG(p.e301 _ g302 delinsG) in BTK gene and evaluated the function of BTK.Methods: A five-year-old boy presented with recurrent respiratory tract infections. His height wa...
