Introduction: Automated insulin delivery systems provide significant improvement in the time in range(TIR) centered diabetes care. This study analyzes the real-word performance of Minimed 780G™system-Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop(AHCL) in children from a single center.Methods: Of the 93 children started to use AHCL between January 2021 and April 2022, 64 whose data could be accessed were included. 3,6,9 and 12 month-...

Backround: Cases diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism are considered to be at risk of thyroid nodule formation and subsequent thyroid carcinoma due to TSH overstimulation. Few cases has been reported hitherto. We are presenting two siblings diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism due to dyshormogenesis who developed thyroid papillary carcinoma during follow up.Case presentation: Case 1 was born at term as the first ...

Introduction: The harmfull or benefical effect of obesity on bone mineral density (BMD) is remain controversial in children and adolescence. Either increase or decrease of BMD have been reported. Several factors such as insülin resistance, prediabetes, high proportion of fat mass, sedentary lifestyle were suggested to cause the differences of BMD in obesity. FGF-21 is a metabolic factor that plays a specific role in the regulation of carbohydrate and lipi...

Introduction: Isolated hypoaldestronism is a rare endocrinopathy in a limited number of patients who secrete normal level of cortisol, due to mutation in CYP11B2. In some cases clinical diagnosis can be late and genetic analysis showed difficulties.Case 1: A 7 month-old girl infant was referred to endocrinology department due to womiting, failure to thrive and severe hyponatremia with unexplained neutropenia. She was bor...

Introduction: Treatment of patients with VSD (Variation of Sex Development), in particular severe hypospadias, is associated with high rate of post-operative complications using current surgical procedures. This leads to a high rate of re-operation in an already emotionally complicated situation. We improved the tissue engineered acellular tubular collagen scaffolds that showed promising results in the rabbit model to implant it to a dog model. This FDA approved new version ac...

Introduction: Ellis Van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare condition which is characterized with disproportionate short stature, postaxial polydactyly, and dysplastic nails and teeth. It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations of EVC 1 and 2 genes located on chromosome 4p16. EVC syndrome is a chondroectodermal dysplasia. Congenital heart defects; especially atrial septal defect and single atrium occurs in 60% of affected individuals. Here we report a 5 year-old f...

Background: An elevated anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level might serve as a noninvasive screening or diagnostic test for PCOS in adolescents.Objective and hypotheses: We explored whether the AMH levels of adolescents with PCOS, ‘at-risk-of-PCOS’, and isolated oligomenorrhea, differed from those of adolescents with normal menstrual cycles, and we identified an AMH level that was potentially diagnostic of PCOS.Method: ...

Background: Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by granulosa cells surrounding follicles. There are limited studies about the change of AMH levels at the pubertal onset.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was to identify whether AMH levels could be diagnostic for central precocious puberty (CPP), premature thelarche and premature adrenarche (PA) and to investigate the factors influencing AMH regulation.Method: ...

Background: It is difficult to define the laboratory finding of hyperandrogenism and associate it with clinical findings in children and adolescents. Androgen levels can be high in obesity, hirsutism, and PCOS. The free androgen index (FAI) is a simple ratio used to evaluate the biologically active testosteroneObjective and hypotheses: Our aim was to determine the FAI in adolescent females and to evaluated how this index is influenced in adolescents diag...

Background: Human health might be negatively affected by chemicals named as endocrine disrupters. Researchers showed that phthalates (bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP)) and bisphenol A (BPA) have an anti-androgenic and/or estrogenic effects. These endocrine disruptors are accused in occurrence and/or possible increase in unusual early puberty in girls in recent years.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of th...
