Introduction: Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder characterized by the partial or total absence of an X chromosome. It is the most frequent sex chromosome abnormality in females (1). Patients with TS are susceptible to a variety of metabolic abnormalities. Puberty is a sensitive phase of both physical and hormonal development, and its timing can impact the development of metabolic syndrome. This study aims to clarify the impact of the onset of puberty o...

Introduction: Since its introduction in the 1970s, insulin pump therapy became more and more recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes, in order to achieve and maintain an optimal glycemic control, by mimicking the physiological release of insulin through continuous infusion. The aim of our study was to determine the effectiveness of insulin pump therapy in improving the metabolic control in children with type 1 diabetes.Patients and ...
