Evolution of Feminising Genitoplasty

Pippi-Salle J L

Great controversy exists in regard to the timing and technical alternatives to perform feminizing genitoplasty in children. Opponents to an early approach argue that the reconstruction can be risky in terms of clitoral/vaginal function therefore surgery should be postponed until the patient herself can sign an informed consent and be aware of potential risks as well as confirms the desire to undergo the procedures. Such negative feelings in regard to early reconstruction are b...

Real world use of closed loop insulin delivery

DeVries J Hans

The development of the artificial pancreas or closed loop for type 1 diabetes, which started as a concept in the last century, took off once continuous glucose monitors became available. The first hybrid closed loop entered the market in 2016, where now several systems compete. This creates the ‘luxury problem’ of having to choose between different systems. Anonymized CGM data collection from company databases try to address the question whether performance in opti...

Growth Hormone Treatment in Children with SGA During a 5-Year Period, Assessment of Auxological Development and Insulin Resistance

Lopez-Siguero J P , Martinez-Aedo M J , Bermudez J A , Cabrinety N , Bosch J , Lechuga J L , Torralba R

Background: Treatment with GH of children born SGA allows an increase in growth velocity (GV) and improves adult height. Increased insulin resistance has been described in these patients, which reverts after interrupting GH administration. However, long-term metabolic consequences are not clearly established.Objective and hypotheses: Describe insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index) and auxological development (GV and height) in SGA children treated with GH fo...

Different Long-term Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Very Preterm Versus Very-low-birth-weight Infants

Hollanders Jonneke J , Schaefer Nina , van der Pal Sylvia M , Rotteveel Joost , Finken Martijn J J

Background: Birth weight (BW) is often used as a proxy for gestational age (GA) by studies on preterm birth. Recent data indicate that the terms very-low-birth-weight (VLBW; BW <1500 g) and very preterm (VP; GA <32 weeks) birth are not equivalent with regard to perinatal outcomes and postnatal growth up until final height. It is unknown whether the differences between these terms could be extended to long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.Objectiv...

I-DSD and I-CAH Registry Update

Ahmed Faisal , Bryce J , Jiang J , Watt J , Rodie M E

Background: Whilst adhering to the highest standards of data governance and security, the International DSD Registry (www.i-dsd.org) and the International CAH Registry (www.i-cah.org) allow standardised collection of data and promote multicentre collaboration across national boundaries and across multiple clinical and research disciplines.Results: By April 2015, over 1600 cases had bee...

Lack of Association between Transient Hypothyroxinaemia of Prematurity and Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Outcomes in Young Adulthood

Hollanders Josephina J , Israels Joel , van der Pal Sylvia M , Rotteveel Joost , Finken Martijn J J

Background: Preterm newborns are at risk of becoming transiently hypothyroxinaemic, which has been associated with neurodevelopmental impairments in childhood. It is not known whether these associations persist into adulthood.Objective and hypotheses: We studied the relation between transient hypothyroxinaemia of prematurity and IQ, neuromotor functioning and problem behaviour at young adult age.Method: This was a prospective study...

Childhood Obesity and Iron Metabolism

Sousa Bebiana , Galhardo Júlia

Introduction: Hypoferraemia is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and a leading cause of potential developmental disorders in children. Obesity seems to be associated with this condition, but it is still unclear if it is caused either by depleted iron stores, diminished availability, or both.Aim: To analyse the relationships between childhood obesity, iron metabolism and inflammation....

Recurrent Apnea in a Boy Suffering from Congenital Hyperinsulinism in the Course of Diazoxide Treatment

Nowaczyk Jedrzęj , Kucharska Anna

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is rare disease which prevalence is estimated as 1:2500 to 1:50000 born newborns. Main reason of the disease are genetic mutations in genes responsible for regulation of insulin secretion. First line treatment is diazoxide therapy.Our patient was diagnosed with CHI at the age of 2 months. Biochemical tests prooved diagnosis of CHI. He presented lack of negative feedback and secreted pathologic amount of insulin – dur...

TRIAC Treatment of Allan-Herndon-Dudley Syndrome (AHDS) due to Defects in Thyroid Hormone Transporter MCT8

Iglesias A , Gomez-Gila A L , Casano P , del Pozo J , de Mingo M C , Pons N , Calvo F , Obregon M J , Bernal J , Moreno J C

Background: AHDS is a devastating disease caused by defects in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter MCT8. Endocrine expression is heralded by systemic hyperthyroidism with elevated serum T3, mildly increased TSH and decreased T4. However, the brain is hypothyroid, causing severe psychomotor retardation. Therapeutic attempts with PTU+levothyroxine or the T3-analogue DITPA could normalize TH derangements but without any neurological improvement. ...

Cut-Off Values for Nocturnal Salivary Testosterone to Enable Detection of Early Puberty

van der Sande Linda J.T.M. , van den Hoogen Chris J. , Boer Arjen-Kars , Odink Roelof J.

Background: In boys with suspected delayed puberty, serum testosterone is used for the evaluation of gonadal function. It is known that early in puberty testosterone levels show a sleep wake rhythm, with nocturnal levels increasing ahead of daytime levels. To evaluate the onset of puberty, the use of salivary testosterone would be an appealing alternative to serum analysis as it is non-invasive and allows multiple nocturnal sampling. Moreover, it is thought that salivary testo...
