Influence of anthropometric indices at birth on obesity characteristics in school-age children Latyshev D. Yu., Lobanov Yu. F.? Latyshev O. Yu. *, Karkova T.A. Altai State Medical University, Barnaul * Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. Moscow Keywords: obesity, children, body length, body mass index Objective: To study the relationship between anthropometric data at birth and the course of obesity in school-age children. Materials and metho...

Objective: To characterise clinical presentation of congenital isolated ACTH deficiency.Methods and results: Clinical and anthropometric data were obtained. Biochemical liver function parameters, blood glucose, insulin, TSH, free thyroxin (FT4), GH, cortisol, and ACTH levels were analyzed. POMC and TBX19 genes were analysed by Sanger sequencing. The girl was born at full-term with normal weight and length. The parents are cousins. At birth cra...

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is the most common form of carbohydrate metabolism disorder in childhood. There are also monogenic forms of diabetes. In the world literature, there are isolated mentions of the combination of monogenic and autoimmune forms of diabetes mellitus.Clinical case: A 10-year-old obese patient presented with hyperglycemia. At hospitalization: height 168 cm, weight 87 kg, SDS BMI +3.0. Glycemia 14.4 m...

Mutations in HNF1A gene underlie the development of maturity onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3). Mutations in ABCC8 gene are the cause of neonatal DM and the rare MODY12, which is clinically similar to MODY3. In these forms of MODY, there is a high sensitivity to sulfonylurea. Patient A, 17 y.o. He was born to woman with gestational DM. At the age of 12.5, fasting hyperglycemia of 13 mmol/l was detected. Insulin therapy was not prescribed due to the parent’s refu...

Introduction: Thyroid surgery in children is associated with high risk of recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN) damage. It is due to complex and variable anatomy, high bleeding which decreasing visualization and requiring instrumental hemostasis. Large goiters change of syntopy, metastatic process requires bigger aggression and volume of intervention. The risk of damage significantly increases during repeated operations due to the scar process. There is significant...

Background and aims: To investigate the functional status of the thyroid gland in children with diabetes mellitus type 1.Materials and methods: In the study were included 29 (13 boys, mean age 11.3±2.7 years) patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 from iodine deficient region. The examination included thyroid ultrasound and assessment of the functional state of the thyroid system: thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), fT4, fT3, th...

Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) occurs in 50-60% of all cases of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). The most common cause of TNDM (70%) is almost invariably associated with defect in chromosome 6 and mutations in the KCNJ11, ABCC8, INS, NHF1B etc. genes. TNDM is caused by mutations in the GATA6 gene in rare cases. This gene encodes a transcription factor that is important for the development of the hematopoietic, cardiac and gastrointestinal systems.<p class="ab...

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by autosomal dominant type of inheritance and caused by genetic defects leading to dysfunction of pancreatic beta-cells. At least 13 types of MODY have been described in the literature, the most frequent of which are MODY types 1–3. The frequency of different MODY types in children in Russia has not been studied before.<strong...

Background: Growth hormone deficiency in conjunction with the function loss of other anterior pituitary hormones is called combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD). The most common congenital CPHD is caused by mutations in genes: PROP1, POU1F1, HESX1, LHX3, LHX4, OTX2, GLI2, and SOX3. POU1F1 mutations are extremely rare among the Indo-European ethnic type (1% of all cases of congenital hypopituitarism) and more common among the Turkic peoples (7.3%...

Background: There is a need to increase digital health literacy in paediatric endocrinology due to the rapid emergence of digital technologies. Massive open online courses (MOOC) provide an opportunity to rapidly increase digital health capabilities at scale, as previously demonstrated in diabetes.1 To our knowledge, there are no comparable examples in the field of growth hormone deficiency.Aim: This study evaluates the ...
