The pandemic has changed habits in families around the world. Eating habits and physical activity were directly impacted by social distance. The first year of the pandemic left its mark on children’s health. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between the first year of the pandemic and the serum lipid profile in children who underwent lab tests in a private laboratory in Curitiba-PR.Methods: Observational a...

Background: Childhood haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and total body irradiation (HSCT/TBI) survivors have multiple risk factors for reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and poor growth. Reduced z-scores from dual energy x-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) have been reported, but are unreliable in patients with short stature/abnormal body composition.Objective: To investigate the influence of HSCT/TBI on size-corrected BMD in childhood leukaemia ...

Background: The well-documented increased cardiometabolic risk in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and total body irradiation (HSCT/TBI) survivors is under-recognised using standard (International Diabetes Federation (IDF)) metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria. This is defined as the presence of central adiposity using increased waist circumference (WC) or BMI, (often not abnormal in HSCT/TBI survivors despite increased central adiposity), plus additional features includ...

Background: Silver Russell Syndrome(SRS) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder, which is mostly known because of its prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. Patients with Russell silver syndrome have syndromic facial appearance as well as some other common clinical features. The last guideline for diagnosis of SRS is Netchine– Harbison clinical scoring system that is clinical scoring system and followed by molecular evaluation.<p class="abstext"...

Introduction: Delayed puberty is defined as the absence of physical signs of puberty by the age of 14 years in boys and 13 years in girls. According to this definition, the prevalence of delayed puberty would be 2%, if the ages of pubertal onset were normally distributed in the population. However, the prevalence or incidence of delayed puberty has not been described before, as far as we know. Our aim was to study the incidence of delayed puberty in central Sweden.<p class...

Background: The use of continuous glucose monitoring has been proven beneficial in improving glucose control. Nevertheless, its use by the patients is still limited with a high discontinuation rate, especially in the pediatric population. Real-life data showed a 30% adherence to treatment after 1 year of use.Objective and hypotheses: The most likely explanation for the sensor being underutilized is the significant burden related to its use fraught with t...

Introduction: Denosumab is an inhibitor of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand that strongly suppresses differentiation and function of osteoclasts. Cherubism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by symmetrical swelling of the mandible and the maxilla. In patients with cherubism, the bone is replaced by a fibrous granuloma containing multinucleated giant cells, which are differentiated into activated osteoclasts<p class="abst...

Background: Insulin degludec (IDeg) is an ultra-long-acting insulin, with flat time-action profile, having a lower risk of hypoglycemia. Many adolescents with type 1 diabetes, choose to observe Ramadan fasting for spiritual wellbeing despite different risks.Aim of study: To assess frequency, timing and severity of hypoglycemia of insulin IDeg as basal insulin in T1DM adolescence who are willing to fast. Other outcomes in...

Background: Sjogren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease, and it is rare in pediatric population. Primary symptoms are dry mouth and dry eyes. However, it may present with systemic manifestations, involving lungs, liver, kidneys, vasculature, and blood. We report a case of Sjogren's syndrome with systemic involvement in a child with Graves' disease.Case report: A 9-year-old 11-month-old girl presen...

Introduction & Objectives: High consumption of processed foods rich in fat and sugar are associated with the increasing prevalence of metabolic disturbances like obesity, insülin resistance, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between advanced glycation end products and metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance caused by high fructose and high-fat diet, and also examine histologic...
