Background: Several drugs and pharmaceutical formulations not sold in our country for different reasons: economic, market requirements or the prevalence of the disease. Like occur in so-called orphan treatments, diabetes mellitus (DM) children may be deprived of pharmaceutical presentations for its lower numerical prevalence vs the number of adult patients affections DMtipo2 One of the problems that young children face DM1 is its high sensitivity to insulin. Since May 2014 mar...

Background: 1 000 million people worldwide presenting vitamin D deficiency in children prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in certain regions described up to 80%, especially at high latitudes (above 37). Has been postulated role of vitamin D in the immune system and in clinical variability DM1.Objective and hypotheses: To study the degree of deficit VITD in our population (Location: 42° 51’north latitude 2° 41’west longitude) with DM1 ...

Introduction: The CATCH 22 syndrome or DiGeorge syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome, is a frequent pathology with the worldwide prevalence estimated between 1 / 2,000 and 1 / 4,000 live births. The classic clinic is characterized by typical facial features (narrow palpebral fissures, bulbous nasal tip, small mouth and ears, malar hypoplasia) with functional insufficiency of the soft palate in about 75% of those affected, difficulties in learning, language and behavior , cong...

Introduction: In the last year, the pediatric services have seen a reduction of up to 50% of the consultations and 1/3 of the admissions to the hospitalization ward; However, the existence of other pathologies cannot be forgotten despite the current situation, such as hypothyroidism, diabetic ketoacidosis, short stature, precocious puberty, etc., as far as endocrinology is concerned. Difficulty in accessing primary care, non-contact visits, along with the fear of families to g...

Objective: To study how basal metabolism influences the somatometric evolution of the child and adolescent population with obesity in a pediatric endocrinology clinic; multichannel impedance study, TANITA BF 430.Results: 100 randomly selected patients from a database with 1400 records were studied. Most of the patients who come to these consultations for obesity are girls, between 8 and 11 years old. The group of boys at...

Transversal study. Patients from 0 to 17 years of age who had undergone an analytical determination of 25OHD during the year 2021 in our hospital were collected. The following were contrasted: 25OHD, PTH, total calcium, age, sex, reason for requesting analysis, time of year and country of origin. 25OHD ranges: normal >30 ng/mL, suboptimal 20-30 ng/mL and deficit <20 ng/mL; and normal PTH: 9-60 pg/mL.Results: 1. Prevalence of vitami...

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic brought with it a state of alarm as of March 14, 2020, which implied a restriction on the mobility of the general population and home confinement. One of the main concerns raised by isolation was the substantial reduction in energy expenditure due to children spending more time sitting or participating in activities that involve very low rates of energy expenditure, such as watching television, managing the different networks social ...

Introduction: Glucose sensors are medical devices used in glycaemic control of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) . Its use prevents multiple capillary measurements, improving disease control and quality of life. However, these systems are not exempt from unforeseen events. The rise in the number of users has resulted in the increasing detection of local skin reactions by these devices, being the most frequent the eczematous ones, which may correspond to irri...

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common thyroid tumor in childhood and adolescence. Most of these patients are referred with locally advanced and/or distant disease at the moment of diagnosis. Whenever is possible, these patients should be offered a total thyroidectomy and radioiodine remnant ablation. However, this approach is not always possible to perform, becoming these tumors as unresectable. These critical cases could benefit from the neoadjuvant treatment with...

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency in children is still a global health problem. Measuring free 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations could provide a better estimate of the vitamin D status than total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels.Objective: To assess the relationship between measured free vitamin D (m-f25(OH)D) and calculated free 25(OH)D (c-f25(OH)D), total 25(OH)D, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and other markers of phosphocalcic metabolism. Es...
