Aım: İn this prospective planned study, it was aimed to study relationship between vitamin D level and vitamin D receptor gene polimorphism in patients with type l DM aged 0–18 years old.Methods and materials: We enrolled total 165 children in which 101 new and old diagnosed to WHO criterias TIDM patients from 0–18 years old and 64 chıldren as control group who were matched with gender and age. İn all cases serum Ca, P, PT...

Background: Close monitoring of growth is vital when following children with achondroplasia yet existing growth curves suffer from a simple chart format and their clinical use is therefore limited. Also, references for body proportions; i.e. sitting height, relative sitting height and arm span, are lacking.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was to construct age-specific growth curves for height, weight, BMI, head circumference and body propo...

Objective: It is known that vitamin D has differential roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, neurotransmission and neuroplasticity in nervous system and exerts neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects. In recent studies, it was shown that vitamin D could be protective against in age-related macular degeneration and optic neuritis related to demyelinating disorders. Here, we aimed to perform visual evoked potential (VEP) studies before treatment in patients with rickets...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the values of the mean platelet volume (MPV), a predictor of cardiovascular disease, in paediatric patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), in addition to healthy controls, to determine the risk of cardiovascular disease in these two disorder groups.Material and method: The study included a total of 79 patients aged 3–18 with ADHD (36 pati...

Objective: It is known that vitamin D has differential roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, neurotransmission and neuroplasticity in nervous system and exerts neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects, even different functions of vitamin D has been studied by advocating that vitamin D should be classified as a neurosteroid. It has been long known that vitamin D deficiency, VDR dysfunction, hyperparathyroidism and hypervitaminosis are potential causes for sensorineural ...

Objective: To evaluate thyroid hormones and antibodies, vitamins B12 and D levels, ferritin levels, adrenal and gonadal steroid levels in children diagnosed with ADHD and ASD.Material method: Patients between the ages of 2–18 years followed-up with the diagnosis of ADHD and ASD in the Van region were included in this study. The weights and heights of the patients were recorded and then the blood samples were obtained between 0800 and 0900 h. in the ...

Introduction: Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) is a clinically, genetically and morphologically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by dysregulation of insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. HH may be associated with congenital, genetic, metabolic or syndromic causes. Here, a case in which Turner Syndrome (TS) and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia were detected together is presented due to its rarity.Case: A...

İntroduction: Amiodarone, an iodine-rich antiarrhythmic agent, is associated with thyroid dysfunction in 15-20% of patients, potentially leading to amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis. The etiology of amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism encompasses two distinct mechanisms: iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (Type 1) prevalent in patients with Graves' disease or nodular goiter, and destructive thyroiditis-induced hyperthyroidism (Type 2) observed in individu...

Introduction and Purpose: The appearance of secondary sex characteristics 2-2.5 standard deviation score (SDS) earlier than the expected age is defined as precocious puberty. Childhood obesity has emerged as an important public health problem in recent years. GnRH stimulation test is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of precocious puberty. Our study aims to determine possible differences in responses according to body mass index in female patients ...

Introduction: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder, caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene localized on Xq28, affecting the adrenal cortex, nervous system, and testicular functions. It is characterized by the deficiency in transporting very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA). We present a case of a boy diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy and discuss the importance of family screening, as his sibling was diagnosed th...
