Background: Among alimentary factors leading to obesity in children, the main ones are: consumption of high-calorie foods with high content of carbohydrates and getting more calories during the second half of the day.Objective: To study feeding habits in children of different ages with alimentary obesity compared with normative values.Methods: We compared 3-day food diaries of 115 children with alimentary obesity with nutritional s...

Objective: Continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy (CSII) and therapy with insulin analogues are considered to provide physiological insulin replacement, which results in improvement of diabetes control. Rate metabolic compensation of diabetes mellitus (DM) in children on IPT and basal-bolus insulin therapy on the level HbA1c and self-control of glycemia.Methods: We analyzed retrospectively 88 histories of disease children with type 1 DM. The patients we...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disease characterized by a defect in one of steroidogenic enzymes or the gene encoding the transport proteins. Frequency of occurrence is 1: 14000 newborns.Objective: To determine the age, clinical manifestations, the incidence and the effectiveness of treatment various forms CAH in children.Materials: Medical History of 35 patients aged from ...

Type 1 diabetes is one of the common chronic diseases of children’s age. In recent years there is an increase in the rate of primary morbidity of 1 type diabetes in children with a displacement of peak manifestation for age 5-9 years. Medical History of 110 patients aged from 0.5 to 18 years diagnosed with 1 type diabetes have been analyzed in the Republican Center for Pediatric Endocrinology with a division into comparison group (2018- 2019) and control group (2020). Com...

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of thyroid diseases in children with Turner syndrome (TS).Methods: This is a retrospective study, analyzing clinical data from medical records of 167 patients with TS from 3 to 18 years, who were regularly followed-up in the University hospital (Minsk). Depending on the karyotype, 4 groups of patients were identified: the first group with karyotype 45,X (n</e...

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations of metabolic status and eating behavior (EB) in young children and variants of energy metabolism genes.Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study of 106 children in the dynamics of the first 2 years of life was carried out. Groups of children were identified taking into account BW at birth (large-weight by gestation (n=50), underweight by gestati...

Background and aim: High caloric diet (HCD) in diet-induced obesity (DIO) can be caused by central mechanisms regulating reward-seeking behaviour. Leptin modulates the dopamine system and vice versa. We supposed D2 dopamine receptor agonist and dopamine neurons toxin to influence weight gain and leptin level, mobility and behaviour in wild type rats (GUR) with HCD.Materials and methods: Male rats (n=64, 183.0±14.0 g) were divided into HCD g...

Background: Hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas in children and adolescents are rare.Methods: We report clinical course, management and outcome of 6 cases diagnoses in 2013-2019.Results: Patients (3M, 3F), aged 9,5 – 16,5 years at referral. In them, 3 ACTH-secreting adenomas (ACTHA) and 3 prolactinomas (PROLA) were recognized. The family history for endocrine tumors was negat...

Objective: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and its relationship with vitamin D in children with obesity.Methods: We examined 110 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2015 to 2018 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Body composition with evaluating of mineral component were made by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry with the calculation of feet, hands, spine, ribs, hips BMD (g/cm<s...

Study aim was to evaluate the contribution of DRD2 gene TaqIA polymorphism, plasma leptin and dopamine concentrations to obesity development in children with different adiposity classes, depending on gender and pubertal stage.Materials and methods: 223 children aged from 11 to 17.9 years were involved in the retrospective one-stage analysis, 179 of them were randomly genotyped in the TaqIA of DRD2 gene and blood dopamine (BD) concentrations were detected...
