Background: TransCon human GH (hGH) is a long-acting prodrug of recombinant hGH that releases fully active unmodified hGH. TransCon hGH was shown in phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers and a phase 2 study in adults with hGH deficiency to: i) be safe and well tolerated, ii) provide dose-dependent hGH levels, with same peak level and exposure compared to daily GH, iii) be suitable for a once-weekly dosing regimen, and iv) induce an IGF1 response within the normal range. This o...

Background: Disorders of sex development, especially with Y chromosome material, are the main factor of an increased risk of gonadal tumour. The main idea of this study was to investigate the prevalence of gonad tumours in patients with 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis.Methods: This study included 9 patients with 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis: seven patients with partial and two with total gonadal dysgenesis. Among nine patients there were two patients with Frasier s...

Introduction: One of the strategies of searching the genetic causes of CDGP is analysing the genes responsible for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH).Objective: To investigate the role of the HS6ST1 gene in development CDGP.Materials and Methods: Two patients - height and BMI SDS, bone age, genitometric parameters, basal hormones, GnRH analogue test, hCG test, olfactometry, brain-M...

Background: The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is based on defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells and the inability of insulin-sensitive tissues to respond appropriately to insulin. Young people have a more aggressive course of the disease. However, the impact and sequence of pathological mechanisms involved in the development of T2DM in adolescents hasn’t been established. Diagnosis of the prediabetes in time can be u...

Background: The increased prevalence of youth obesity has led to raised youth-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as the intermediate condition of prediabetes. Diagnosis of prediabetes can help preventing of the development of T2DM.Aims: to study the frequency, clinical laboratory diagnostics and relationship of prediabetes with SDS BMI in obese adolescents.Materials: Th...

Objective of the research: To compare clinical laboratory and genitometric parameters in girls with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) and constitutional delayed puberty (CDP).Materials and Methods: 23 female patients with delayed puberty are included in the study.Inclusion criteria: Absence of secondary sexual characteristics at age ≥13 years or absence of menarche at age ≥1...

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...

Objectives: to study the frequency, ultrasound characteristics and the evolution of intrathyroidal ectopia of thymus(IET) in children.Materials and Methods: as part of an epidemiological study (2014-2017), an assessment consists of incidence of IET in pre-puberty children, which using ultrasound of 1164 patients (604 girls, 560 boys). As part of a clinical study (2014-2019), the ultrasound characteristics and the evoluti...

Objective: to evaluate clinical and laboratory characteristics of various types of gonadal dysgenesis in girls with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism.Methods: 17 girls with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (13.9±3.72) were examined. Inclusion criteria: characteristics of delayed puberty, no disorders of sex development, presence of müllerian duct derivatives, high levels of gonadotrophins. Tanner stage, antropometri...

Objective: To study clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with disorders of sex development (DSD) 45,X/46,XY and 46,XY, partial gonadal dysgenesis.Subjects and Methods: It was included 27 patients with disorders of gonadal dysgenesis at birth to 9 years, which were divided into groups based on cytogenetic survey – DSD 46,XY, partial gonadal dysgenesis (n=10) and DSD 45,X/46,XY (n&...
