Background: GH deficiency is the most common endocrine disorder in childhood brain tumours survivors.Objective and hypotheses: To examine results and safety of GH treatment in patients with childhood brain tumours.Method: 118 patients (72 craniopharyngioma, 29 medulloblastoma, 17 germ cell tumours) received hGH in the dose 0.03–0.034 mg/kg per day for 2.3±0.8 years. The mean chronological age at the start of the treatment...

Background: To date a lot of data on the efficacy of GH treatment of children with short stature was accumulated. GH is the major but not exclusive endocrine regulator of linear growth. Influence of multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies on the final growth remains poorly understood.Aim: To compare the results of treatment with GH in patients with isolated GH deficiency and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies.Methods: 15 patie...

Clinical case: A 17-year-old patient was observed with a diagnosis of GD in October 2016. When the patient was examined in the hormonal profile there were hyperthyroidism, a high titer of antibodies to the TSH receptor, in connection of which thyrostatic therapy initiated. In dynamics since November 2018 there has been a pronounced increase in the total volume of the thyroid gland. Firstly she was examined at the Endocrinology Research Center in October 2019...

Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. The characteristic features of diabetic dyslipidemia in adults are a high plasma triglyceride concentration, low HDL cholesterol concentration and increased LDL cholesterol. Dyslipidaemia in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) have been little studied (P. Lozano et al., 2016; J. D. Schofield et al.,2016; M. Kinoshita et al., 2018; C.Elkins et al., 2019). DECODE studies (Diab...

Key words: primary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid gland, genetic study.Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare disease with a prevalence up to 2-5:100,000. About 90-95% of cases are isolated adenomas, 5-10% cases are due to hereditary syndromes. Parathyroid carcinomas occur in less than 1%.Aim: To study clinical features and genetic characteristics of patients wi...

Objective: to assess olfactory bulbs sizes and define the most common molecular defects in adolescents with congenital isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.Materials and Methods: Single-centre comparative study. 36 patients were included. The main group consisted of 21 patients with mean age of 15.9 years (17 boys, 4 girls) with congenital isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH): 13 patients with Kallmann syndrome...

Myokines - biologically active proteins produces and secretes by skeletal muscles in response to physical activity (PA). They play a role in lipid and glucose metabolism, myogenesis and osteogenesis, thermogenesis activity. Exercise-induced expression of myokines in adolescents with simple obesity insufficiently studied.Objective: to determine which intensity and duration of PA maximally changes the level of myokines (interleukin-6 (IL-6...

Background: Pseudohypoparathypoidism (PHP) type 1A is a rare endocrine disorders caused by GNAS mutation. Patients phenotype with PHP type 1A include obesity, round facies, brachydactyly, subcutaneous ossifications, short stature. The resistance of action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) leads to hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hypercalcitoninaemia has been described in limited patients with PHP without thyroid patholog...

Introduction: A natiowide screening for Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) was introduced 1996 in Russian Federation and Saratov Region. Revelation of the incidence of CH is of great value at the background of moderate iodine deficiency existing in Saratov and Saratov Region. Neonatal screening is an effective method for early detection of congenital hypothyroidism, a disorder that requires the prompt initiation of the treatment, in order to prevent the subsequent...

Introduction: There is still controversy about the levels of bone turnover markers at type 1 diabetes (T1D) onset and their dynamics at follow-up. Bonfanti et al. did not find any differences at onset, while few months afterwards beta cross laps level was significantly lower. Pater et al. found lower levels of osteocalcin and Log beta cross laps at onset which normalized after 3 and 12 months. Possible mechanisms are metabolic acidosis, decre...
