Objectives: HPP is a multisystem disorder caused by ALPL variants that lead to ALP deficiency and excessive inorganic pyrophosphate, which inhibits mineralization of bones and teeth. A range of symptoms is associated with HPP inherited in an autosomal dominant manner that can manifest at any stage of life, making diagnosis difficult. The traditional method of classifying HPP into different types based on the onset of symptoms (prenatal benign, perinat...

Abstract: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CH) is the most frequent cause of persistent hypoglycemia in the newborn. Octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analogue (SSA), is a second line treatment for diazoxide unresponsive CH patients. Although it has been found to be a safe and effective treatment, long-term benefits and side effects have not been thoroughly evaluated. Furthermore, some authors have emphasized that exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is a common ...

Aim: The work was initiated to assess functional condition of the kidneys and to study interrelation between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and stage of chronic kidney disease in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) in compliance with K/DOQI recommendations (2002).Materials and methods: We examined 120 children and adolescents with type 1 DM, 53 (44.2%) males and 67 (55.8%) females among them (mean age 13.8±0.24 years; 95% CI: 13.3...

Background: Timely reperfusion of ischaemic tissue is prerequisite to improve outcomes of CVD, but paradoxically reperfusion causes injury to tissues. This concept is referred to as ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Studies are thriving to better understand IR injury and develop novel treatments to minimise this. One such approach is termed ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) which entails brief periods of alternating ischaemia and reperfusion prior to t...

Background: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the rare inherited metabolic disease resulting from loss-of-function mutations in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene. Understanding of the clinical presentation is largely based on single case reports, which presents challenges for the recognition and diagnosis of HPP.Objective: To better understand disease presentation, we surveyed the literature to characterize clinical features and presentat...

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a heritable systemic disorder of bone and connective tissue. Acceptance of children and their family is associated with medical, growth, developmental conflicts, physical, social and emotional. The study about impact of OI in children’s quality of life is still limited. Aims is to analyze PedsQL score in OI children in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya.Methode: This study is a cross sectional study held in pediatric endocrine...

Background: Ramadan fasting may influence metabolic control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Fructosamine is an accurate metabolic control in a short-term period. Comparison of fructosamine between intensive and conventional insulin regimen in T1DM children has not been widely studied.Objective: To compare fructosamine level between intensive and conventional insulin regimens during Ramadan Fasting in T1DM.Methods: Observational analyt...

Background: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus children are at risk to suffer from thyroid dysfunction. The association between thyroid stimulating hormone and hemoglobin A1c is still controversy.Objective: To determine the association between thyroid stimulating hormone and hemoglobin A1c in type 1 Diabetes Mellitus children.Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study from January - June 2017 in pediatric endocrine outpatient clinic dr So...

Childhood obesity is associated with present and future complications, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Although lifestyle interventions (i.e. dietary and physical activity counselling) are the cornerstone of therapy, their impact on body mass index (BMI) is limited. The phase 3a SCALE Kids study (NCT04775082) demonstrated superiority of liraglutide 3.0 mg versus placebo, plus lifestyle interventions, for BMI reduction in children with general (i.e. non-mo...
