Amenorrhea in an Anorexia Nervosa patient as a presenting symptom of Cushing’s disease.

Avnon Ziv Carmit , T. Ben Harush Negari Shelly

Anorexia nervosa (AN) manifests in the restriction of energy intake relative to energy output. Atypical AN includes those who meet the criteria for AN but are not underweight. Hypothalamic amenorrhea can be a presenting symptom in AN, and the return of menses is part of recovery. It can take more than a year for menses to return after weight restoration and nutritional rehabilitation. Hypercortisolemia is common in AN, but usually does not cause cushingoid symptoms We describe...

Aromatase deficiency due to novel CYP19A1 mutation: A rare cause of maternal virilization and atypical genitalia.

Aftab Sommayya , Shaheen Tahir , Manzoor Jaida , Nadeem Anjum Muhammad , Saeed Anjum , Arshad Cheema Huma

Background: Aromatase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive condition due to mutation in CYP19A1 encoding aromatase enzymes. This enzyme protects fetus and mother from excess of androgens by converting them into estrogen. Lack of its activity results in accumulation of androgens which in turn lead to maternal and fetal virilization. We are reporting a neonate with atypical genitalia with severe maternal virilization due to a novel mutation in C...

High Glycated Hemoglobin instead of High Body Mass Index Might Increase the Urine N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase Concentration in Children and Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus

Jin Park Su , Bae Ahn Moon , Suh Jin-Soon , Soon Cho Kyoung , Ho Jung Min , Suh Byung-Kyu

Children with diabetes, and particularly those with obesity, have poor glycemic control. They are thus at higher risk of early microvascular complications. Renal tubulointerstitial markers are integral to evaluating diabetic nephropathy. Various biomarkers have been proposed, but their role in the obese pediatric population is uncertain. We investigated renal injury markers in children with diabetes, according to obesity, and determined their role as early predictors of diabet...

The association between glycated albumin and HbA1c in pediatric acute leukemia patients

Yeun Sim Soo , Bae Ahn Moon , Suh Byung-Kyu

Introduction: Traditionally, HbA1c has been used as a preferred glycemic index in diabetes patients. However, as many acute leukemia patients often present with anemia and/or pancytopenia, HbA1c may not accurately represent blood glucose level in this group. Glycated albumin represents the average level of blood glucose in recent 2-3 weeks, independent of red blood cell life. In this study, we aim to evaluate the usefulness of glycated albumin as glycemic moni...

Aftab Sommayya , Nadeem Anjum Muhammad , Saeed Anjum , Arshad Cheema Huma

Background: CFAP126 gene does play a role in the regulation of pancreatic beta cell. Literature suggests that CFAP126 was significantly downregulated in human islet cells of pre-diabetic as compared to non-diabetic and further downregulated in type 2 diabetics. However, to date CFAP126 has not been reported to cause clinical diabetes. We are reporting 2 diabetic siblings, with strong family history of type 2 diabetes on maternal side...

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Hypothyroidism in Children with Sickle Cell Anemia Aged 6 Months -17 Years Attending the Sickle Cell Clinic, Mulago Hospital, Mg anda; A cross-sectional study

Kaudha Gloria , Musiime Victor , Piloya Thereza , Kiguli Sarah , Tumwine James

Background: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) leads to chronic end organ damage including the thyroid gland. This is postulated to be due to recurrent hemolysis leading to iron overload, vaso-occlusive crises, micro-vasculature obstruction due to red cell entrapment and frequent transfusions. Some studies have demonstrated a relationship between hypothyroidism and SCA with a prevalence of 6% in children and adolescents. Hypothyroidism may affect brain and physical deve...

Sousa Eulália , Luís Telma , Cristina Santos Ana , Lima Conceição , Adriana Rangel Maria , Arménia Campos Rosa , Luísa Leite Ana

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most frequent chronic diseases in the pediatric age and demands constant and rigorous glycemic control. Intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems are a helpful tool in diabetes management. Second-generation isCGM contain alarms to assist in the detection of hyper or hypoglycemia. We aimed to compare the sleep quality of principal caregivers of T1DM pediatric patients who use i...

Examining Sedentary and Activity Status Predictors in Adolescents and Their Implications for Diabetes Prevention

Balhara Maria

Background: Physical activity (PA) has been conclusively shown to reduce the incidence of diabetes in prior research. A 2,000 steps/day increment yielded hazard ratio (HR) 0.88 for incidence of diabetes 95% CI 0.78–1.00; P=0.046 (Garduno, 2022). Despite this, the role of different factors associated with higher adolescent after-school PA is understudied after the coronavirus pandemic, during which a greater proportion of parents worked remotely....

The high rate of false-positive (FP) results in congenital adrenal hyperplasia newborn screening (CAH-NBS) worldwide challenges NBS-programs and reinforces the need of high specificity subsequent tests. Few studies assessed the efficacy of different serum steroids by the available methodologies. Serum 21-deoxycortisol-21DF demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy in CAH children/adults but was not evaluated in the NBS context. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of confirmatory...

Early adrenal activation in boys with Cystic Fibrosis may explain impaired final height

Tamer Gizem , GM Arets Hubertus , K van der Ent Cornelis , M van Santen Hanneke , J van der Kamp Hetty

Background: Rapid BMI increase in early childhood was found to be a contributing factor for impaired final height in boys with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This may be explained by early adrenarche triggering an accelerated bone maturation resulting in a compromised growth spurt during puberty, comparable to children with SGA. In healthy Dutch boys, adrenarche starts from the age of 9 years with DHEAS ≥ 1 µmol/L. In Dutch girls, the onset of adrenarche is fr...
