Introduction: Generally, patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) experience normal puberty. However, they can be affected by metabolic and environmental factors that may predispose them to central precocious puberty (CPP) and impair their predicted final height, similar to the general population.Case Report: A female patient was diagnosed with XLH at three and received regular treatment with calcitriol and ...

Background and aims: The introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS) as an essential tool for the routine molecular diagnosis of DM has highlighted the under-diagnosis of monogenic diabetes mellitus (MonDM). Accurate molecular diagnosis of the MonDM subtype has important implications for prognosis and choice of treatment, family counseling and health management, enabling precision medicine. The main objective was to clinically and molecularly characterize...

Background: FGF21 is a metabolic and growth regulator.Aim: To investigate the role of FGF21 during growth in infancy.Methods: Cohort of 40 term (T) and 40 preterm (PT) newborns whose length and weight were evaluated prospectively at birth, 6 months, and 12 months. Blood samples for FGF21, IGF1, leptin, insulin and glucose were collected at 6 and 12 months. In addition, FGF21, I GF-I, leptin, and insulin were measured in cord blood ...

Introduction: The incorporation of the interstitial glucose monitoring system, in the offer of services in the Andalusian Public Health System (APHS), means an opportunity for the implementation of a model of integration, and follow-up of glucose data, and the evaluation of their impact in health results.Purpose (Aim): The design and implantation of a model that allows the identification, registration of clinical data, i...

Introduction:The incidence of obesity increases unstoppably in all populations and at all ages, and with it, the associated metabolic morbidity and mortality. The promotion of physical activity and a healthy diet are the fundamental elements to alleviate this situation. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship of physical activity and eating patterns with body composition, the degree of adiposity and certain metabolic risk factors.<p cl...

Background: Recent studies show negative impact of the use of television while having food on the eating patterns.Objective and hypotheses: Our goal is to use cluster analysis to evaluate this influence in children.Method: In 895 Spanish children and adolescents (47% male and 53% female), from 3 to 18 years of age (10.25±2.67 years), a validated food frequency and food consumption habits questionnaire (CFCA) is performed. Thre...

Background: Emerging data suggest that ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring for 24 h may be efficient in the diagnosis of hypertension in adults, children and adolescents. Additionally, in adults, it may predict the existence of some early BP abnormalities related to cardiovascular risk: (a) elevated BP load (>25%) and (b) non-dipping (BP decrease in night-time <10%).Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the presence of early BP abnormalitie...

Background: Gestational obesity has not only adverse effects on the mothers’ health but also on the developing fetus. Newborns of obese pregnant women have increased birth weight and increased risk for obesity and associated diseases in adulthood. The mechanisms by which maternal nutrition induce these changes in the offspring may involve microRNAs (miRNAs) regulation.Aims and objectives: To study the associations between circulating miRNAs altered ...

Background: miRNAs are valuable circulating biomarkers and therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases. A differential pattern of miRNAs has been described in pregnant women with preeclampsia or gestational diabetes; however, it is unknown whether maternal obesity affects the profile of circulating miRNAs.Aims and objectives: To define the circulating pattern of miRNAs in pregestational and gestational obesity; and to explore their associations with mater...

Introduction: Identifying the nutritional diagnosis of adolescents is crucial for developing public health strategies that promote the adequate development of this population.Objective: To analyze the temporal trends of the BMI of Brazilian adolescents (10 to 19 years old) between 2010 and 2021.Methods: Descriptive ecological study. Data obtained from e-SUS Primary Care. The preval...
