Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics, genetics and follow-up data of five children with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome (RTH) and review the related literatures.Methods: The clinical data of the five children diagnosed with RTH in our hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Next-generation sequencing of the candidate genes related to thyroid diseases was performed using the blood col...

Object: To raise the awareness of clinical manifestations about vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome by summarizing the clinical characteristics of a girl with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewing the literature. Method: We carried on the review analysis to the patient with central precocious puberty, vasculitis-related moyamoya syndrome and reviewed the literature. Result: The bilateral breast development was the prim...

Background: Acquired Von Willebrand's syndrome (aVWS) associated with hypothyroidism is rare in children and more often diagnosed during the peripubertal period in the context of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Case presentation: A 5-year-old girl was referred to the paediatric haematology unit for rectal bleeding, anaemia, and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. Her developmental and learning skills were no...

Background: Defects of the insulin receptor gene (INSR) can cause genetic syndromes associated with a wide diverse range of congenital insulin resistance from milder insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus (Type A insulin resistance syndrome, TAIRS) to leprechaunism (Donahue syndrome). Clinical features in TAIRS vary due to the severity of damage in INSR, precise diagnosis is challenging.Materials and Methods</stron...

Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause: Denys-Drash syndrome.Methods: To summarize the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, diagnosis and treatment of a rare 46XY DSD cause presenting with hemolytic uremic syndrome: Denys-Drash syndrome (WT1 mutation).Results: Female, 2 years and 4 months, were admitted to the hospital at 2018-11-7 becaus...

Therapeutic interventions in obesity in addition to the weight loss, seek to improve the profile of cytokines. It is believed that physical activity, even in the absence of significant weight loss, may favorably increase the concentration of irisin and decrease the concentration of chemerin. The aim of the study was to compare the impact of a standard lifestyle intervention (SI) with an intense intervention (II) including controlled increase of daily physical ...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common medical disorders and may cause numerous maternal and fetal complications. It constitutes one of the most frequent pregnancy health problems and may cause wide range of complications such as: preterm births, congenital defects, sacral agenesis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, metabolic changes and macrosomia in neonates. Therefore, early detection and implementation of guideline-based screening tests, are crucial. One o...

Introduction: Elastography is a noninvasive imaging technique based on estimation of the tissue flexibility. There are two methods of elastography: Static Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography. Scale of deformation under pressure is presented as a colourful map – elastogram, where red colour signify soft tissues, green colour signify middle tough tissues and blue colour signify tough tissues. Analysis of elastograms enable us to present results as ROI1/ROI2 index. In a...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of recombinant human GH (rhGH) combined with low-dose stanozolol on the growth and final adult height (FAH) of girls with Turner syndrome (TS).Method: A total of 47 girls with TS were treated with rhGH (47.6–52.4 μg/kg per day) and low-dose stanozolol (20–35 μg/kg per day), starting at a mean age of 12.57±1.96 year. The control group consisted of 26 girls with TS,...

Background: Aromatase inhibitors (AIS) can block the conversion of androgens to estrogens, thus can be used to delay bone maturation in males, however, the effect on improvement of final adult height (FAH) is still controversial.Objective and hypotheses: A prospective study was performed to evaluate the effect of letrozole used on the FAH in males with idiopathic short stature (ISS).Method: 55 boys with ISS and had entered puberty ...
