Background and aims: To explore the functional autonomy in adolescents with nodular goitre.Materials and methods: We have examined 66 patients with nodular goiter from iodine deficient region. There were 48 girls (mean age 14.91±1.78 years) and 18 boys (mean age 14.46±2.75 years) among them. Uninodular goitre was diagnosed in 43 patients, 23 patients had multinodular goitre. The survey included thyroid scintigraphy 99mTc and assessment of the f...

Objective: To analyze the structure of puberty delay in girls depending on the etiology of the disease.Materials and methods: 51 girls with puberty delay (14.2±0.82) were examined. Inclusion criteria: absence of secondary sex characteristics at 13; or absence of menarche by age 15 years or the absence of menarche during 3 years from the onset of estrogen-dependent puberty signs development. Exclusion criteria: age ≥18, аmbiguous genital...

Materials and methods: we included 51 girls with puberty delay (mean age 14.2±0.82 years) into the study.

Objective: assess advantages and disadvantages of the treatment of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) with rFSH and hCG.Materials: We report the case of а 16-year old patient with complaints of no development of secondary sexual characteristics. Patient was 174 cm (SDS growth 0.25 SD, SDS growth velocity 1.62 SD, SDS BMI -0.4 SD, target height correction 1.01 SD) with Tanner G1 P1 (penis length was 5 cm). Laboratory studies included LH < 0.1 m...

Objective: to evaluate combination replacement therapy (CRT) with rFSH and hCG of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) in boys appropriateness and effectiveness.Materials: 1 boy with isolated HH (№1) and 2 boys (№2,3) with HH caused by hypopituitarism (HP) included. Antropometric data, Тanner; testosterone (T), LH, FSH, inhibin B, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), testicular volumes (TV), bone age (BA) evaluated in all patients. GnRH agonis...

Objective: to assess diagnostic usefulness and accuracy of different tools in patients with Kallmann syndrome and ichthyosis due to X-chromosome microdeletion.Materials: &scy;ongenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to KAL1 pathological variants manifest with micropenis, cryptorchidism, delay of puberty, and not associated with disorder of sex development. This condition can be associated with ichthyosis due to deletion of X chromosome region with genes KAL...

Hypogonadism is represented by a hypo- and hypergonadotropic variant. Antymüllerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin B are used to assess ovarian reserve, but in pediatric practice their role has not been studied. The main interest is to conduct the study of ovarian reserve in hypogonadism among girls.Objective of the Research: To compare the content of inhibin B, AMH and estradiol in girls with hyper- and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism...

Objective: To study structure disorders of sex development (DSD) 46,XY by one center.Subjects and Methods: It was included 60 patients with diagnosis DSD 46,XY at birth to 18 years. For all patients was conducted structural evaluation of the external (by External Masculinization Score, EMS, 0-12) and internal genitalia (by pelvic ultrasound, n=60, laparoscopy, n=20), hormonal research (testoster...
