Background: CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported an increased risk of newly diagnosed diabetes over 30 days after SARS-CoV-2 infection among persons aged < 18 years. Similarly, the results from the DPV Registry demonstrated a significant increase in the incidence of pediatric Type 1 Diabetes during COVID-19 pandemic. The underlying mechanisms are not yet elucidated.Aim: To investigate the incidenc...

Inzaghi Elena , Rapini Novella , Deodati Annalisa , Schiaffini Riccardo , Patera Patrizia , Matteoli Maria Cristina , Ciampalini Paolo , Cianfarani Stefano

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta-cells. Dysregulated miRNA levels have been described in T1D patients, though results are inconclusive.Objective and Hypotheses: The aim of this study was to assess the circulating profile of different miRNAs in children at diagnosis of T1D.Method: 27 children with T1D o...

Quantitative Ultrasound Evaluation in a Cohort of 43 Young Adults with Classical CAH due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency (21OHD): Is Bone Mineral Quality Impaired?

Baronio Federico , Balsamo Antonio , Ortolano Rita , Massaccesi Nicoletta , Bettocchi Ilaria , Zioutas Maximiliano , Maltoni Giulio , Zucchini Stefano , Cassio Alessandra

Background: In young adults patients (pts) with CAH due to 21OHD few and conflicting data have been reported on bone mineral quality (BMQ) evaluated by quantitative ultrasound (QUS).Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the bone mineral status by QUS variables assessed at proximal phalanges of the hand in a cohort of young adults with classical CAH due to 21OHD and the possible associations with their clinical and metabolic features.<p class="abstext...

Efficacy of Real-time Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Type 1 Diabetic Pre-school and School Children Treated with Multiple Daily Injections

Schiaffini Riccardo , Rapini Novella , Pellicano Grazia , Patera Patrizia Ippolita , Ciampalini Paolo , Matteoli Maria Cristina , Deodati Annalisa , Cianfarani Stefano

Background: Young children affected by Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) are prone to glucose fluctuations and hardly reach a stable glycometabolic control, especially when treated with a Multiple Daily Insulin Injections (MDI) scheme. The recent Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (RT-CGM) System, Dexcom G5, the only available device registered for non-adjunctive insulin intervention, potentially facilitates a better management of the disease. Evidence regarding CGM effectiveness amo...

Molecular Analysis of a Large Cohort of MODY Patients by Next Generation Sequencing

Artuso Rosangela , Orlandini Valerio , Palazzo Viviana , Giunti Laura , Landini Samuela , Provenzano Aldesia , La Barbera Andrea , Giglio Sabrina , Stagi Stefano

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes that accounts for 2–5% of all cases but it is underestimated because it’s often misdiagnosed as T1D or T2D whose symptoms are often overlapping. It is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance, a young age of onset and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.Objective and hypotheses: Actually in about ...

Intrauterine Growth Restriction Affects Postnatal Testis Maturation in Rats

Pampanini Valentina , Germani Daniela , Puglianiello Antonella , Stukenborg Jan-Bernd , Reda Ahmed , Savchuk Iuliia , Kjartansdottir Ros , Cianfarani Stefano , Soder Olle

Background: The influence of intrauterine life on long term health is supported by a wealth of epidemiological and experimental studies. A low oxygen and/or nutrient supply to the fetus, resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), may affect gonadal development of the offspring, with a potential impact on fertility. Data derived from animal models of placental insufficiency are very limited.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the effects of...

A Case of Hypopituitarism in a Patient with Cantù Syndrome

Azzali Annachiara , La Spina Luisa , Gioe Daniela , Scalini Perla , Sandini Elena , Farri Martina , de Martino Maurizio , Stagi Stefano

Background: Cantù syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by congenital hypertrichosis, neonatal macrosomia, a distinct osteochondrodysplasia, and cardiomegaly. Other findings described are vascular abnormalities, pulmonary hypertension, generalized edema, mild learning disability and behavioral problems. Cantù syndrome is related to an heterozygous pathogenic variant in ABCC9 or KCNJ8, which can be inherited in an autosominal dominant manner or d...

Background: The periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, is an autoinflammatory disease characterised by regularly recurrent fever episodes, due to seemingly unprovoked inflammation.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of the study was to assess serum 25-hydroxy cholecalciferol (25(OH)D) concentrations in children with PFAPA and to evaluate longitudinally the effect of wintertime supplementation on 25(OH)D st...

Determinants of Vitamin D Levels in Children and Adolescents with Down Syndrome

Stagi Stefano , Lapi Elisabetta , Scalini Perla , Greco Paolo Del , Ricci Franco , Marino Achille , de Martino Maurizio , Seminara Salvatore

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic (chromosomal) mental retardation syndrome. In these patients, several environmental and hormonal factors contribute to low bone mineral density (BMD), among these factors, vitamin D may play a significant role in the health of patients with DS. However, poor studies have evaluated 25-hydroxy cholecalciferol (25(OH)D) levels in DS.Objective and hypotheses: The purpose of this study was to assess se...
