Background/aim: Limited studies have delved into the association between thyroid hormones and neurocognition in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We aimed to evaluate the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and neurocognitive functions in patients with ADHD.Method: A total of 146 patients with early-onset ADHD were included in the study. The inclusion criteria for patients with early-onset ADHD wer...

In accordance with the present data on children with nutritional rickets, there are three stages for biochemical findings. We aim to update the stages of nutritional rickets. Biochemical manifestations of nutritional rickets were first described in 2005 as three stages of vitamin D deficiency. Table 1 shows the biochemical findings according to the rickets stage. Accordingly, the first stage is characterized by osteopenia and subclinical hypocalcemia. The second stage begins w...

Introduction: Robinow syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant disorder affecting the whole skeletal system. Autosomal recessive robinow syndrome is characterized by shortness of the long bones and vertebra anomalies. Less than 200 cases of autosomal recessive robinow syndrome have been reported in the literature.Case: The newborn was referred to pediatric endocrine clinic for disorder of penis devel...

Congenital rubella infection is a transplacental infection that can cause intrauterine growth retardation, cataract, patent ductus arteriosus, hearing loss, microcephaly, thrombocytopenia and severe fetal injury. It has been shown that type 1 diabetes mellitus develops in 12–20% of patients with congenital rubella infection and disorder in oral glucose tolerance test is observed in 40%. A 13-year-old male patient presented with complaints of new-onset polydipsia, urinatio...

Background: Experience with oral desamino-D-arginine-8-vasopressin lyophilisate (OLD) for central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in children with CNS malformations is limited.Objective and hypotheses: We aimed to assess the efficacy of oral use of OLD in children with CDI.Methods: Clinical, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of twenty-five children with CDI treated with OLD were eva...

Aim: This experimental study is to investigate the effects of excessive fructose consumption on body weight, omental fat, insulin resistance, lipid profile and lipid peroxidation.Materials-Methods: In this study, 18 mature, albino, male Sprague Dawley rats (aged 8 weeks, weighing 200–220 g) were included in our study. They were fed ad libitum, housed in pairs in steel cages, and kept in a temperature-controlled env...

Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to increase fatty liver disease (FLD) incidence in patients with obesity (4,5). This study aim ed to determine the effects of a single dose of 300,000 IU cholecalciferol on insulin resistance and fatty liver disease (FLD) in children with obesity with vitamin D deficiency.Methods: In this clinical study, 128 patients aged 8-18 years with obesity and vitamin D deficiency wer...

Background: Hyperuricemia has been found to be associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether allopurinol affects the course of experimental NAFLD in rats.Study Design: Mature, albino Sprague Dawley rats were fed water containing 30% fructose without ethanol for up to 8 weeks. After demonstration of steatosis in the 8th week, either allopurinol or saline was administered...

Background: To the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted to assess the impact of 21 hydroxylase deficiency and hidrocortisone treatment on electrocardiographic measures in children with 21-hydroxylase-deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia.Objective and hypotheses: The purpose of this study is to compare the12-lead electrocardiographic measures such as PWd, QT interval, QTd, Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc ratio in patients of 21-hydro...

Background: CANDLE (chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature) syndrome is a recently described autoinflammatory disease that manifests in early infancy with recurrent fever, violaceous swelling of the eyelids, purpuric skin lesions, hypochromic anemia and elevated acute phase reactants. It is autosomal recessively inherited and associated with partial lipodystrophy, growth retardation and hepatomegaly. PSMB8 (proteasome subu...
