Hypogonadism is represented by a hypo- and hypergonadotropic variant. Antymüllerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin B are used to assess ovarian reserve, but in pediatric practice their role has not been studied. The main interest is to conduct the study of ovarian reserve in hypogonadism among girls.Objective of the Research: To compare the content of inhibin B, AMH and estradiol in girls with hyper- and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism...

Background and Objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute endocrinological emergency in childhood. It occurs in 20-40% of cases at the onset of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). DKA is classified as mild, moderate, and severe based on the clinical picture and blood pH levels. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the characteristics of T1D onset (DKA level, pH, c-peptide) and the glycometabolic control 2, 5, and 10 years after the diagnosis.<p ...

Background and Objective: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is one of the most frequent endocrine-metabolic diseases in children and youth. Several studies assessed Sleep Quality (SQ) in Children with Diabetes (CwD), yielding conflicting results. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the use of glucose sensors and insulin pumps in T1D is associated with better QOL and SQ in a group of CwD and their parents/caregiversSubjects and Method...

Introduction: Many HCL-algorithms are available in pediatrics but real-life comparison studies are limited.Objective: Analyze and compare metabolic control indicators achieved with the two HCLS used in our hospital in Children-with-T1D (CwD).Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of CwD on HCLS treatment (Tandem with Control-IQ, Medtronic MiniMed780G). Data collection through cli...

Background: Adolescents with chronic disease need to develop independent self-care and learn to communicate effectively with their health care team in transition from pediatric to adult- health care systems. Older adolescents are going through many challenges related to physical and emotional development, education and career choices, family, and peer relationships. The presence of a chronic disease adds an additional burden. At this stage of development, tran...

Objective: This study aim ed to investigate the effect of height on the quality of life in boys with delayed puberty and to compare the groups of boys with delayed puberty depending on height SDS among themselves.Design, Patients, and Measurement: A total of 17 boys with delayed puberty (average age 14.3 &pm; 1.08) were included.Study design: depending on height SDS, there were 2 g...

Introduction: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, potentially fatal, either autosomal dominant or recessive genetic disorder caused by the loss of function of the tissue-non-specific isoenzyme of the serum alkaline phosphatase, due to pathogenic variants of the ALPL gene. The onset of the deleterious effects on bone metabolism is highly variable, ranging from mild cases with dental abnormalities to severe forms that can be life-threatening in infancy or early ch...

Background: The development of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) involves a disbalance between pancreatic β-cell function and insulin sensitivity. The impact and sequence of pathological mechanisms involved in the development of T2DM in adolescents haven’t been established.Aims: To compare the role of pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance in the development of prediabetes and T2DM in obese ad...

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic disorder causing premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD), particularly early coronary artery disease. Homozygous FH (HoFH) is rare and can be clinically silent in most cases, contributing to delay in diagnosis till the occurrence of potentially fatal cardiovascular events (CVE). Patients with HoFH can be highly resistant to standard pharmacological therapies, and treatm...

Background: Primary hypogonadism in females is characterized by inadequate ovarian function, resulting in insufficient or absent production of estrogens. This case report aims to present a rare case of primary amenorrhea in a female child where bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was performed due to the beta-thalassemia.Case presentation: A 14-year-old girl approached the endocrinology department for evaluation due to del...
