Phenotypic and Genotypic Variability of Patients with 5-α Reductase Type 2 Deficiency

Hu Kun , Krone Nils , Kirk Jeremy

Background: Steroid 5-α reductase type 2 (SRD5A2) deficiency is an rare inherited disorder resulting from mutations in the SRD5A2 gene, causing 46,XY DSD (Disorder of Sex Development). The mutated SRD5A2 enzyme can no longer convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which is needed for virilisation of external genitalia.Objective and hypotheses: To describe the phenotype, investigations and management of SRD5A2 deficiency.<p class="a...

Histological Evaluation of Patients with Partial Gonadal Dysgenesis and NR5A1 Mutations: Review in Leydig and Germ Cell Pattern

de Andrade Juliana Gabriel Ribeiro , Werner Ralf , Fabbri Helena Campos , Guerra-Junior Gil , Maciel-Guerra Andrea Trevas , de Mello Maricilda Palandi , Holl-Ulrich Konstanze , Hiort Olaf

Background: Recent data describe that the gonads of patients with partial gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) and mutation in the NR5A1 gene can present with a different histological pattern.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate histological aspects of PGD caused by NR5A1 mutations.Method: Five patients with PGD, a history of gonadal biopsy or gonadectomy and confirmed mutation on NR5A1 gene were selected from a Bra...

Blood Glucose Monitoring: Which is Better: Continuous Real-Time or Episodic Real-Time on Demand? CON

Kordonouri Olga

Background: Self-monitoring of blood glucose is an essential tool in the optimal management of childhood and adolescent diabetes. In the last 15 years, an extraordinary development of reliable devices for real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has taken place. Meanwhile, several trials in adults and children showed that CGM can be associated with improved glycaemic control, significant reduction of hypoglycaemia and better quality of life, particularly in those patients...

PROP1 Mutations Cause Hypopituitarism by Disrupting the Transition of Pituitary Stem Cells to Differentiation

Millan Maria Ines Perez , Mortensen Amanda , Brinkmeier Michelle , Camper Sally

Background: Congenital multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) arises from defects in pituitary development and is sometimes associated with craniofacial abnormalities. Mutations in the transcription factor PROP1 are the most common known genetic cause of the disorder. In this case the course of disease is progressive, and can lead to life threatening adrenal insufficiency.Objective and hypotheses: Our objective is to understand the role of PROP1 in...

Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy is Highly Predictive for Survival in Children with Mauriac Syndrome

Arshinkova Margarita , Slavcheva Olga , Konstantinova Maia

Background: Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is predictive for subsequent mortality mainly due to terminal renal insufficiency. DAN is screened by cardiac tests based on heart rate variability (HRV).Aim: To assess cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and its predictive value for survival in children with Mauriac syndrome.Material and methods: The study included 12 patients with Mauriac syndrome (growth retardation, hepatomegaly an...

A Perioperative Change of Anti-Mullerian Hormone and E2 in a Patient with Sex Cord Tumour with Annular Tubules

Shimada Aya , Takagi Masaki , Miyai Kentaro , Fukuzawa Ryuji , Hasegawa Yukihiro

Background: Sex Cord Tumour with Annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare ovarian benign tumour accounted approximately for 5% of ovarian tumour. SCTAT is an oestrogen producing ovarian tumour and can cause precocious puberty. For SCTAT, oophorectomy is recommended as the first-line therapy. Since SCTAT has a high rate of recurrence, it is clinically important to find a monitor method that can detect cancer recurrence in an early stage. In the previous reports, E2 and anti-mullerian ...

Intraosseous Infusion: Sometimes the Only Way to Treat Severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Gallo Francesco , Conte Pietro , La Torre Francesco , Calo Maria Alba , Moramarco Fulvio

Background: The diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) represents one of the most frequent causes of death in childhood. The first therapeutic step is a quick rehydration, whereby a venous access must be ensured in every child with DKA, in order to infuse liquids immediately. The children conditions (state of shock, obesity) can make access extremely difficult. We present two cases of patients with severe DKA, where finding a venous access was almost impossible.Cli...

Continuous Intersticial Glucose Monitoring in Early Detection of Glucose Tolerance Abnormalities in Adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis

Perez Jacobo , Corripio Raquel , Belver David , Asensio Oscar , Bosque Montserrat , Rivera Josefa

Background: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and glucose abnormalities have a negative impact on pulmonary function and survival in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT) is the screening test of choice for CFRD, although undetected high glucose levels can be missed with this test. The use of a continuous intersticial fluid glucose monitoring system (CGM) can be useful in these patients.Objective and hypotheses: To deter...

Effect of Overweight and Obesity on Spinal Deformities for Children 5–7 Years

Aghaei Marzieh , Shapoori Javad

Background: Obesity is one of the factors of musculo-skeletal disorder by its weight stress. It can change body shape and axis of weight balance, especially in growth, which can affect skeletal curvature.Objective and hypotheses: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of spinal abnomalies in elementary school entry children and evaluate some cofactors related to obesity in child.Method: In a cross-sectional stu...

The impact of fear of hyperglycemia in parents of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus on overall glycemic control

Liberman Alon , Nevo-Schenker Michal , Sachar-Lavie Iris , Phillip Moshe ,

Background: Achieving proper glycemic control is the major goal in the management of type 1 diabetes. The Diabetes Control and Complication Trial showed that optimal glycemic control can decrease micro- and macrovascular complications in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes. Both hypo and hyperglycemia affect crucial regions in the developing brain. In children and young adolescents, most of the work towards achieving optimal glycemic control is led by ...
