Background: Up to 50% SGA did not do a proper catch up (for over/under) and may have implications in size, metabolic, cardiovascular. Arises: epiSGA – PreMeb Project. Global approach to study.Objective: Create clinical cohort of SGA for monitoring, assessment catch-up, use GHRH requirements, environmental/social factors and variables influence on clinical, laboratory and metabolic profiles in order to progress in the knowledge of natural history. Pr...

Background: Although the theoretical impact of small in weight and/or size at birth (<2 SDS for EG) is 3–5% (3.5% in the Basque Country (source: Local Government) the socio-economic situation in our country has conditioned a change in its l although 50% at 2 years did not do a proper catch up (by excess or defect) with potential impact on future size and metabolic complications, cardiovascular require specific monitoring.Objective: To assess soc...

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...

Introduction: McCune–Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease defined by café-au-lait spots, gonadotropin-precocious puberty and fibrous dysplasia. It could be associated with others endocrinopathies: thyroid involvement as a common feature. The prevalence is very low, being outstanding the neonatal diagnosis, especially in males.Case presentation: A male term newborn with a café-au-lait extensive spot involving the back, arms, legs and s...

Due to the increase in prevalence of childhood obesity, more obese children are referred to the endocrinologist for the hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal axis assessment. The circadian rhythm (CR) of cortisol in saliva (SAF) may constitute a non-invasive, first line test to exclude hypercortisolism on obese children.Aim: To evaluate possible disturbances of CR of SAF in obese children with clinical signs of hypercortisolism.<p class="a...

Background/Introduction: Whole exome sequencing (WES) revolutionized clinical genetics in patients with differences of sex development (DSD). However, our ability to interpret WES data is limited by our incomplete understanding of the mechanisms involved in DSD. Thus, we created a methodology that scores potential candidates based on single cells transcriptomics of human male gonadal cells and applied it to WES data from a cohort of genetically male (46,XY) DS...

Body Mass Index (BMI) has a high association with body fat percentage and direct association with a higher degree of comorbidities. Categorizing patients only by the degree of obesity, as has been done over time, restricts the possibility of detecting and giving timely treatment to other aspects. The Edmonton Obesity Staging System for Pediatrics (EOSS-P) has been proposed as a tool to categorize obesity not only by BMI, but also by assessing metabolic complications, functiona...

Aim: To determine Sertoli cell function at diagnosis and after 3 months of chemotherapy.Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed including children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Serum levels of AMH were evaluated at diagnosis and after 3 months during chemotherapy. Results were analysed as standard deviation scores according to pubertal stage and expressed ...

Background: Rickets is a disease due to a reduced mineralization of the rapidly growing bones (skull, ribs, wrists, knees, ankles) with consequent accumulation of non-mineralized bone matrix, called osteoid tissue. The most frequent cause of rickets is vitamin D and/or calcium deficiency caused by reduced sun exposure, inadequate dietary intake or malabsorption (nutritional rickets).Clinical history: R., a 1 year and 6 m...
