Background: The main purpose of insulin analogue treatment is mimicking physiologic insulin secretion and accomplishing a good glycemic control without having late hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.Objective and hypotheses: In this report, 24 weeks follow-up results of newly diagnosed type 1 DM patients treated with insulin lispro and insulin glulisin is discussed.Method: Twelve patients diagnosed with type 1 DM patie...

In children and adolescents, vitamin D deficiency negatively affects muscle physiology, exposing them to increased muscle damage and pain, stress fractures, and tendon structures. In addition, free radicals released when the body is exposed to oxidative stress after exercise can cause DNA damage. Vitamin D plays an important role in removing these radicals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between physical activity and 25- OH vitamin D in obese chil...

Childhood obesity (CO) is an important risk factor for the development of many chronic metabolic diseases in adulthood. Understanding the mechanisms that promote childhood obesity and eliminating these causes in childhood are critical for later life. One of the major complications of obesity is insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between sunlight exposure and insulin resistance in childhood. Specifically, it examines how the duratio...

Introduction: Childhood hypophysitis (CH) is an extremely rare entity that has difficulties in definition and displays a wide variety of symptomatology. The volume and shape of pituitary gland may increase in physiological periods such as puberty and pregnancy, it may also change in various neuroendocrine and psychiatric diseases. It is important to distinguish physiological changes observed in the pituitary, especially in puberty, from hypophysitis.F...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate demographic characteristics; clinical, laboratory, imaging features; and response to treatment of boys who were followed up and treated with the diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP) in Turkiye.Materials and Methods: The study was planned as a multicenter, retrospective study. Cases with a diagnosis of CPP, whose follow-up data were available were included. Patient...

Introduction: Central Diabetes Insipitus (CDI) results from the inability to secrete ADH secreted by the neurohypophysis system to control water-electrolyte metabolism. In the etiology of CDI many congenital and acquired CNS tumors, infiltrative diseases,infections, autoimmune events, head trauma and idiopathic can be responsible. In this article, a child case with CDI due to intracranial occurence which is very rare in etiology is presented and the approach and follow up are ...

Introduction: Childhood obesity (CO) is an important risk factor for the development of many chronic metabolic diseases of the adult age, and one of the most important ones is glucose homeostasis. However, the parameters used to diagnose carbohydrate metabolism disorders in obese children are not always guiding early in detecting pathologies, and may be inadequate to predict the pathologies. For this reason new diagnostic methods are needed. For this purpose, in this ...

Background: It’s well known that overt hypothyroidism leads to weight and body fat content increase but there is limited data in the literature about the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) on body composition parameters.Objective and hypotheses: In our previous study body composition parameters were evaluated in patients with SH and it was concluded that trunk fat mass was increased in SH patients before any alterations in basal metabolism ra...

Objective: Psychosocial problems which the obesity caused is one of the most important reasons that impede success of treatment. Researches indicate that, majority of all obese children have depression. In this study, the effect of obesity on state feeling (cognitive functions and socioemotional adaptation) were investigated in a different special test. To this end obese and nonobese young patients were compared by a special test determines the ability of mind and con...

Childhood obesity (CO) is an important risk factor for the development of many chronic metabolic diseases in adulthood. Sleep patterns are known to affect leptin and ghrelin levels in the body. Recent studies using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) have shown that insufficient sleep time leads to unhealthy eating behaviors in the brain. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between sleep time in childhood and obesity. Consistent with this associati...
