Background: in our days the case of reduction of bone mineral density becomes more common. This pathology can be detected in children and adolescents with obesity with the help of densitometry.Aim: to reveal the dynamics of body composition indicators in obese children.Methods: we examined 32 children with obesity in the University Hospital (Minsk) in 2020-2022 yrs. Their anthropom...

Timely recognition and treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia are important because of the potential for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. One of the major problems in infants born following a pregnancy complicated by diabetes is hypoglycemia. In addition, hypoglycemia occurs in infants of non-diabetic mothers. We conducted a retrospective cohort study including all infants who had hypoglycemia during the first day of life, between 1-9-2017 and 31-8-2020. We studied the relatio...

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a common condition that occurs in ~1:3000–4000 live births and is one of the most common preventable cause of mental retardation with an early diagnosis and prompt pharmacological treatment. Neonatal screening has abolished this disease but 10% of children originally diagnosed with CH will have a transient form of the disorder and this percentage is increased during the last years due to a lowering of cut-off.<p class="abs...

Objective: Determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 210 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2021 to 2022 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, OPG, insulin were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity (MO) ...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 221 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2019 to 2021 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, insulin were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity (MO) - 159...

Background: Childhood brain tumour survivors are at risk of developing endocrine secondary effects throughout lifetime. Transition between childhood and adult care is a critical moment during which patients may stop medical visits and treatments.Objective: To describe endocrine care transition in our cohort of patients with primary brain tumors followed from 2010-2015, who are ≥=18 years old by December 31st</...

Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare overgrowth disorder characterised by macroglossia, exomphalos, lateralised overgrowth, organomegaly, hyperinsulinism, and an increased risk of embryonic tumor during early life. In about 80% of BWS cases, molecular defects are identified at the imprinted 11p15.5 region which contains the IGF2 and the CDKN1C genes (most patients show methylation defects at either imprinting control region IC1 or IC2, or paternal unip...

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and long-term glucocorticoid treatment may be associated with an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic sequelae such as abnormal glucose homeostasis, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, cardiovascular (CV) disease, obesity and osteoporosis.Objectives: To study the current practice amongst expert centres for assessing cardiometabolic outcomes in adult patients with 21-hyd...

Background: Rogers syndrome or thiamine responsive megaloblastic anaemia (TRMA) with diabetes mellitus (DM) and deafness is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder. We report the case of an eleven-month-old girl with TRMA.Case presentation: She was admitted to the hospital with paleness, hypotonia, diarrhoea and fever. She was born to first degree consanguineous Moroccan parents. Our patient medical history was relevant for hemolytic anaemia at the age ...

Background: Polymorphisms in several genes may be associated with a higher risk of obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Objective: To examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) −238G>A, −1031 T>C and −863 C>A of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNFA) gene; rs738409 C>G of patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene; +276 G>T and +45 T>G of Ad...
