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...

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...

Introduction: In youth, primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is due to genetic, autoimmune, iatrogenic, and idiopathic etiologies. When POI is diagnosed early with evidence of an ovarian reserve, fertility preservation can be offered. When the girl is premenarchal, the preferred fertility preservation method is ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) containing primordial follicles. In the past, when OTC was performed in an unselected group of children and adoles...

Introduction: About 15% of children born small for gestational age (SGA) do not reach final height within normal range. Recombinant human growth Hormone (rhGH) has shown to be effective in catching up growth velocity and height in children born SGA.The objective of our study is to identify the predictive factors of final height in children born SGA treated with rhGH.Materials and Methods: Monocentric, retrospective s...

Recently, we identified Neuritin 1 (NRN1) as preferentially expressed in human white compared to brown adipocyte progenitor cells. In mice, Nrn1 deficiency leads to a reduction in body weight, indicating that it might regulate body weight. In this study, we aim to address the function of NRN1 regarding adipocyte metabolism in vitro and in vivo. We used human SGBS preadipocytes as an in vitro model system. NRN1-deficient cells were generated using len...

Background: The French population of the SAGhE study showed an increased morbidity and mortality due to cerebrovascular disease in growth hormone (GH) treated subjects compared to the general population. Cerebrovascular health can be assessed using neuroimaging markers on MRI. One of the markers is white matter hyperintensity (WMH).Objective: To assess cerebrovascular health by scoring WMH on MRI in young adults born sma...
