Introduction: Patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) require glucocorticoid (GC) therapy to replace cortisol insufficiency and reduce excess adrenal androgens, usually necessitating supraphysiologic GC doses. CAHtalog™, developed in partnership with CARES Foundation using the PicnicHealth platform, is a real-world US patient registry that characterizes the natural history of classic CAH. This study explored changes in health states ba...

Introduction: Intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) are rare and likely to present with peripheral precocious puberty (PPP). We report the case of a 5-year-old boy with pineal GCT, in whom, although he presented with advanced peripheral precocious puberty, levels of β-chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) were mildly elevated, not diagnostic of GCT, posing a diagnostic dilemma.Methods: A 53/12 year- old boy ...

Aims: Although rare, craniopharyngiomas are the commonest suprasellar tumour in childhood. Despite high overall survival, children and young people <19 years with craniopharyngiomas are at risk of multiple relapses and long-term tumour- and treatment-related neuroendocrine, cognitive and visual morbidity. A recent international survey highlighted the considerable variation in management strategies employed for these tumours, and the lack of any evidence- a...

Three patients from two unrelated families in Malta; one consanguineous (siblings: Patient 1, male and Patient 2, female) and one non-consanguineous (Patient 3, male), manifested hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with delayed puberty, intellectual disability, scoliosis, and ataxia with cerebellar hypoplasia on MRI. GnRH tests revealed low peak LH and FSH concentrations in the patients: Patient 1; LH 2.3 IU/L, FSH 4.4 IU/L (14.3y), Patient 2; LH 3.6 IU/L, FSH 6.4 IU/L (12.5y), Pati...

Impact of bariatric surgery on newborn growth parameters.

Rayen Aoun , Georges Nicolas

Background: Maternal obesity is known to have many detrimental effects on pregnancy. Bariatric surgery represents the most efficient therapy for severe obesity. Although it is known to positively impact many pregnancy outcomes, bariatric surgery can disturb fetal growth due to nutritional deficiencies.Objective: We aim to examine the repercussions of bariatric techniques on fetal growth, and to evaluate the risk of deliv...
