Background: SGA cohort study in analytical and metabolic variables at 3 and 12 months of age with somatométrica situation.Material and methods: Live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, PEG were studied according EG and weight/height (Spanish Tablas 2008). Tours are conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurements of weight, height and perimeter. Blood samples are obtained at least fasting discussed 4h and exce...

Background: Cohort SGA in North of Spain – EPIPEG.Objective and hypotheses: Establish a SGA cohort for monitoring, assessment catch-up, and analysis of middle-environmental and social factors.Method: We study live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, and are classified according age gestation (EG) and weight/height (Spanish growth 2008). Visits were made at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurem...

Background: epidemiological studies reported an increased incidence of central precocious puberty (CPP) during the last year compared to previous year. Confinement measures and consequent daily routine modifications applied to contain coronavirus infectious disease-19 (COVID-19) contagion have been proposed as a cause of this phenomenon. Our study aims in investigating changes in CPP rates in a tertiary paediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic of South Italy...

Introduction: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare hereditary condition caused by mutation in the gene encoding the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX). It is characterized by altered phosphate homeostasis with persistent hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia resulting in deficient skeletal mineralization, rickets, bone deformity, growth failure, dental problems, joint pain and impairment.Case Prese...

Introduction: Glucose sensors are medical devices used in glycaemic control of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) . Its use prevents multiple capillary measurements, improving disease control and quality of life. However, these systems are not exempt from unforeseen events. The rise in the number of users has resulted in the increasing detection of local skin reactions by these devices, being the most frequent the eczematous ones, which may correspond to irri...

Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is traditionally described as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses and remains a challenging condition, affecting 1-3% of couples trying to conceive. Although factors such as uterine abnormalities, maternal hypothyroidism and parental balanced translocations are associated with RM, in most situations the aetiology is unknown. The coexistence of RM and live births in many families suggests a potential association wit...

Background: Thyroid hormones (TH) play multiple effects on glucose metabolism. Some recent studies carried out in adult patients suggested an association between altered sensitivity to TH and type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. No studies are currently available on the presence of altered sensitivity to the action of TH in youths with prediabetes.Objective: To evaluate the relationship between sensitivity t...

Introduction: Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, an increase in cases of new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents has been observed in many countries, including Brazil.Objectives and Methods: In this descriptive study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of new-onset T1DM and the frequency and severity of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in a referral Brazilian University Hospital, 38 months...

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....

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...
