Background: The approach to investigating a newborn with a suspected DSD is likely to vary between centres and may be influenced by local availability.Method: To explore the current diagnostic practice and needs, an international survey of 124 paediatric endocrinologists, identified through DSDnet and the I-DSD Registry, was performed in 2014.Results: A total of 77/124 (62%) clinicians, in 74 centres, from 38/42 (91%) countries res...

Diagnosis and management of a child with pituitary adenoma

Skovsager Andersen Marianne ,

A prolactinoma is the most common pituitary adenoma, but a pituitary adenoma is rarely diagnosed in children. Corticotropinomas and somatotropinomas are observed, whereas clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas, TSH-adenomas and gonadotroph adenomas are very rare in children; a minor percentage of pituitary tumours are aggressive. Genetic cause and syndromic disease are more often seen in children and adolescents with a pituitary adenoma compared to adults, and it is nec...

The Effect of Intrauterine Stress on Leukocyte Telomere Length in Newborns

Stefa Alketa , Lamprokostopoulou Agaristi , Kontogeorgou Anna , Briana Despina , Malamitsi-Puchner Ariadne , Tsitsilonis Ourania , Gagos Sarantis , Charmandari Evangelia

Background: Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures located at the ends of chromosomes playing a crucial role in genomic stability. They consist of tandem repeats of the noncoding hexameric TTAGGG sequence. Telomere shortening has been associated with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and stroke, and has been proposed as a biomarker for ageing and a prognostic factor for age-associated diseases.<p clas...

Impact of overweight and obesity in pediatrics. Metabolic syndrome and its components

San Martin Amaya , Vilella Leyre , Garcia Casales Zurine , Calvo Ariadne , Rocha C , Sarasua Miranda Ainhoa , Diez-Lopez Ignacio ,

The current lifestyle, with a diet increasingly removed from the Mediterranean diet, together with the habitual sedentary lifestyle, is associated with many of the so-called non-communicable diseases, such as the metabolic syndrome. Every day these pathologies are more frequent in pediatrics, so this study has tried to establish the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in overweight and obese children and assess its impact. METHODS A descriptive study has been c...

Adipocytokines in Placenta and Cord Blood in Relation to Maternal Obesity, and Foetal and Postnatal Growth of the Child

Allbrand Marianne , AEman Jan , Lodefalk Maria

Background: The nutritional and hormonal state in utero may be a link between maternal obesity and obesity in the offspring. The gene expression in placentae in pregnancies complicated by diabetes is reduced for leptin, but increased for ghrelin. It is not known whether these genes’ expressions in placentae are altered in maternal obesity.Objectives and hypotheses: To compare obese and normal-weight women and their children concerning gene ...

Omentin-1, vaspin, peptide YY and oxyntomodulin levels in cord blood newborns and correlation with anthropometric parameters

Mancioppi Valentina , Antoniotti Valentina , Ricotti Roberta , Solito Arianna , Rabbone Ivana , Prodam Flavia , Bellone Simonetta

Background: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a central role in maintaining energy balance and body weight regulation. These functions are mediated by the secretion of gut hormones, including ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK), peptide YY(PYY), oxyntomodulin (OXM) and many other hormones. Some of them are orexigenic hormones that promote food intake, while others act as satiety signals and enhance insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells. Current evide...

Growth Hormone Deficiency in Neurofibromatosis: Report of Four Cases

Guidoni Elisa , Lotti Federica , Geronzi Ursula , Sorrentino Laura Arianna , Grosso Salvatore , Municchi Giovanna

Introduction: Short stature is frequently associated to neurofibromatosis (NF). In these patients this condition is often caused by growth hormone (GH) deficiency. We describe four boys affected by NF type 1 and GH deficiency treated with GH replacement therapy.Case report: GH deficiency was diagnosed in four patients with NF type 1, who were referred to our Pediatric Endocrinology Unit for short stature. Patient 1 started GH replacement therapy at the C...
