Objective: to determine risk factors of co-existing thyroid autoimmunity in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DМ).Material and Methods: 48 children with combined autoimmune pathology (45 – with T1DМ and autoimmune thyroiditis and 3 – with T1DМ and Grave’s disease) – main group, age 12.51±3.57 years) and 99 patients with only T1DM (comparison group, age 11.76±3.05 years) w...

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to assess the levels of myokine irisin and adipocytokine leptin in SGA newborns, to analyze the relationship between the parameters of the hormonal status of children and their mothers.Materials and Methods: 49 mother-newborn pairs were examined. Two groups of full-term newborns were distinguished. Group 1 (Gr1) - small for gestational age (body weight (BW) at birth 10th percentile...

Aim: To evaluate the metabolic status in children with Turner syndrome (TS) depending on the Tanner stage (Pre-puberty and puberty).Methods: The total studied group consisted of 85 children with TS from 8 to 17 years, who were regularly followed-up in the University hospital (Minsk) and age matched 72 healthy controls. TS was diagnosed in patients with characteristic phenotypic signs according to the results of karyotypi...

Objectives: To evaluate prognostic factors of the growth hormone (GH) treatment effectiveness in children with Turner syndrome (TS).Methods: Retrospective observational study was conducted for 62 patients with TS (32 girls (52%) with 45,X karyotype, 8 (13%) with mosaic variant 45,X/46,XX, and 22 patients (35%) with structural abnormalities of X chromosome). All patients were treated with GH at a dose of 0.33 ...

Objective: determination of changes in metabolic status and osteoprotegerin concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 120 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2017 to 2019 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), insulin were determined. In the biochemical blood test, the parameters of uric acid, insulin we...

Study aim was to create a prognostic algorithm of dopamine system dysfunction in pubertal age children, based on emotional instability markers, depending on body mass index and pubertal periods.Materials and Methods: Study subjects comprised 120 children (11.6 – 17.9 y/o, the 2nd – 5th Tanner stages) from Belarusian population between 2015 and 2017. Emotional status instability sings were obtained using th...

Objective: Determination of changes in metabolic status and vitamin D concentrations in obese children.Methods: We examined 212 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2016 to 2018 years. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Blood levels of vitamin D, insulin, uric acid were determined. All children were divided into 2 groups: group 1 children with morbid obesity – 140 patients (90 boys(B)...

Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common genetic disease associated with the X-chromosome abnormality. Sex chromosome monosomy (45,X) occurs in 40–50% of the cases. 5% of patients with TS, in addition to cells lacking the genetic material of the X-chromosome, have a cell line with Y-chromosome, whether complete or not, which can be clinically manifested by virilization and mixed gonadal dysgenesis. Early identification of the Y-chromosome genetic material in patients with...

Background: Body image (BI) is subjective picture of one’s own physical appearance established both by self-observation and by noting the reactions of others. Different BI scales used for screening of the Binge Eating symptoms that strongly linked to obesity.Objective and hypotheses: We supposed to get differences in the own body image perception in overweight and lean children.Method: BI questionnaire (BIQ) and own body satis...

Background: It is hard to treat severe obese children only with diet and physical activity, psychological interventions are need.Objective and hypotheses: To examine the differences between courses of non-medicament treatment of severe obese children.Method: We examined 32 pubertal severe obese children BMI 31.2±0.8 kg/m2, 13.5±0.3 years. The newel (in Belarus) course of non-medicament treatment of obesity (die...
