Background: Type 2 diabetes is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by the defective of insulin, which can not progressively compensate for insulin resistance, due to the influence of environmental factors on the basis of genetic susceptibility. Hyperglycemia, which starts with insulin resistance, is thought to show toxic effects (glucotoxicity) on β cells and ultimately impairs beta cell function., Although many factors play a role in etiology, obesity is the most comm...

Introduction: Automated insulin delivery systems provide significant improvement in the time in range(TIR) centered diabetes care. This study analyzes the real-word performance of Minimed 780G™system-Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop(AHCL) in children from a single center.Methods: Of the 93 children started to use AHCL between January 2021 and April 2022, 64 whose data could be accessed were included. 3,6,9 and 12 month-...

Objectives: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertoli cells in the testicles and granulosa cells in the ovaries. Increased abdominal adipose tissue initiates metabolic and endocrine disorders and predisposes to polycystic ovary syndrome. AMH is used as a marker in PCOS. A decrease in AMH levels has been reported in adults with obesity and increased central adiposity. The purpose of this study was to assess the serum AMH level and related factors...

Entry: Rickets is a generalized metabolic bone disease manifested by the abnormal increase in osteoid tissue, defective mineralization and deformation of the epiphyseal plate, which occurs as a result of vitamin D and mineral deficiency before epiphysial fusion occurs in adolescence. Although rickets is mostly seen due to vitamin D deficiency, it can rarely be seen in vitamin D metabolism disorders and diseases that cause phosphorus loss. Clinical findings suc...

Introduction: One of the factors affecting the treatment decision in early puberty is bone age (BA) evaluation and adult height prediction (AHP), accordingly. These calculations have certain limitations. In this study, we aimed to compare the AHP results calculated by Bayley-Pinneau (BP) and Roche-Wainer-Thissen(RWT) methods based on BA evaluation by using Greulich-Pyle(GP) atlas and BoneXpert™ software.Methods: A t...

Objective: There have been very few studies, with contradictory results, on the serum trace elements in children and adolescents presenting with diabetic ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis due to type-1 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this longitudinal controlled study was to determine serum trace element status including selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), chrome (Cr), and cobalt (Co) in type-1 diabetic children and adolescents presenting with diabetic k...

Introduction: Ellis Van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare condition which is characterized with disproportionate short stature, postaxial polydactyly, and dysplastic nails and teeth. It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations of EVC 1 and 2 genes located on chromosome 4p16. EVC syndrome is a chondroectodermal dysplasia. Congenital heart defects; especially atrial septal defect and single atrium occurs in 60% of affected individuals. Here we report a 5 year-old f...

McCune-Albright Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, precocious puberty and café au lait skin pigmentation. It is resulted from an activating mutation in the GNAS gene encoding the alpha subunitof stimulatory G protein. Here we present two cases with McCune Albright syndrome presenting with different clinical findings.Case 1: A 7-year and 6 month-old girl presented with breast ...

Introduction: In the pediatric age group, the incidence of the adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is 0.2%. The effective treatment is surgical resection. The only medical option is mitotane but it has negative effects on steroidogenesis. The difficulty in the management of mitotane therapy is discussed in this case.Case report: An 1110/12 years-old boy was referred with A 5 cm diameter solid-hypoecoic mass observed by sonography in the left surrenal ...

Background: It is known that PDX-1 gene mutation is related to neonatal diabetes, pancreas agenesis and intrauterine growth retardation. Here the aim was to present a novel defined mutation in PDX-1 gene in case born with IUGR, diagnosed with neonatal diabetes and in which exocrine pancreas deficiency and gallbladder agenesis were detected.Case presentation: Blood glucose was measured as 185 mg/dl in the first hour after birth and insulin infusion was gi...
