Henderson Mélanie , Nicolau Belinda , Van Hulst Andraea , Simoneau Gabrielle , Barnett Tracie A. , Drapeau Vicky , Tremblay Angelo , Mathieu Marie-Eve , Paradis Gilles , Zappitelli Michael , Varin Thibaut , Marette André

Background: Oral microbiota composition and diversity differ between obese and non-obese individuals. However, the associations between lifestyle habits (implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity) and the oral microbiota remain uncertain, particularly among children.Objective: To explore the associations between oral microbiota diversity and lifestyle habits among 8-10 year-old children.Met...

Autosomal Dominant Growth Hormone Deficiency due to a Novel c.178G>A Mutation in the GH1 Gene Causing Instability of the Mutant GH Protein (p.Ala34Thr)

Miller Bradley , Tan Jimmy , Parween Shaheena , Eble Andree , Ternand Christine , Gregory Louise , Dattani Mehul , Pandey Amit

Background: The most frequent cause of familial growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is Type II autosomal dominant GHD (isolated GHD type II) due to several heterozygous GH1 mutations.Method: Genomic DNA from patients with familial GHD was enriched for the coding exons using hybrid capture technology and GH1 was sequenced using Next Generation Sequencing technology. Plasmids containing genes for WT and A34T GH1 were transfected into NCI HEK2...

Growth Hormone (GH) Deficiency Type II: Clinical and Molecular Evidence of Impaired Regulated GH Secretion Due to an Gln181Arg GH-1 Gene Mutation

Miletta Maria Consolata , Eble Andree , Arnhold Ivo J P , Dauber Andrew , Fluck Christa , Pandey Amit

Background: Main features of the autosomal dominant form of GH deficiency (IGHD II) include markedly reduced secretion of GH combined with low concentrations of IGF-I leading to short stature.Objective and hypotheses: We report on a girl referred for assessment of short stature (−4.6 SDS) at a chronological age of 7 yr 10 mo. The GH deficiency was confirmed by standard GH provocation tests, which revealed severely reduced GH and IGF-I concentration...

Butyrate Stimulates GH Secretion From Rat Anterior Pituitary Cells Via the G-Protein-Coupled Receptors GPR41 and 43

Miletta Maria Consolata , Petkovic Vibor , Eble Andree , Ammann Roland , Fluck Christa E , Mullis Primus E

Background: Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid closely related to the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) considered as the major source of energy during prolonged exercise. During fasting, when the liver switches to fatty acid oxidation, a rise in serum GH occurs concomitantly with the accumulation of BHB and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate, propionate and butyrate. Interactions between GH, ketone body and SCFA during the metabolic adaptation to fasting are poor...

Mendes Ana Raquel , Lopes Andreia , Lobo Ana Luísa , Ferreira Cristina , Isolina Aguiar Maria , Tavares Cláudia , Meireles Carla

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease, characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, truncal obesity, left foot polydactyly, cognitive impairment, male hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, female genitourinary malformations, and renal abnormalities. The authors present 3 cases of Bardet-Biedl syndrome diagnosed during pediatric age.Case description: Case1: A 3-year-old girl with a f...

Cystic Fibrosis-related diabetes

Kelly Andrea ,

Emerging in childhood and becoming increasingly prevalent to affect 40-50% of adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), CF-related diabetes (CFRD) is a common co-morbidity with the potential to negatively impact nutritional status, pulmonary function, and survival. Stymying interventions to preserve beta-cell function, the mechanisms underlying the progressive insulin secretion defects responsible for CFRD are poorly delineated. This meet-the-professor session will use case-based pres...

Does Socioeconomic Status Play a Role in Paediatric Insulin Pump Access? A Systematic Review

Nahum Andrea , Alexandrou Demitra

*Both authors contributed equally to this workBackground: Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusions (CSII) or insulin pumps improve overall glycaemic control in paediatric populations. Children’s access to CSII may partly depend on socioeconomic status (SES), healthcare systems, and funding structures.Aim: The aim of our systematic review was to evaluate whether SES affects children’s a...

Sleep disturbances among 4 to 12 year-old Filipino children with drug resistant epilepsy in a Pediatric Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines

Andrea Llaneta Cherise , Michel Villaluz Mel

Objective: To perform a pilot study on the frequency of sleep-disturbance (Total sleep Disturbance Score (TSD) of > 41) in children diagnosed with Drug Resistant Epilepsy aged 4 to 12 years, using the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ).Method: The Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to screen for sleep disturbances among 73 patients aged 4 to 12 years old, with drug-resistant ep...

Follow-up and Prevalence of Precocious Puberty in Children with Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia diagnosed by Neonatal Screening

Gonzalez Veronica , Reinoso Andrea , Vitale Laura , Morin Analia , Fasano Victoria , Tournier Andrea , Balbi Viviana

Introduction: In children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CCAH) linear growth allows monitoring metabolic control. Precocious puberty could compromise their growth. There are few studies in patients with CCAH diagnosed by neonatal screening(NS) about this subject.Aims: To analyze linear growth and precocious puberty in children with CCAH detected by NS.Method: Thirty-...

Twin pregnancy with a hydatiform mole and coexisting liveborn infant, with maternal hyperthyroidism and neonatal hypothyroidism

Cecchi Griselda , Rampi Gabriela , Berger Malena , Forrester Andrea

Background: A twin pregnancy with a coexisting complete hydatiform mole and a healthy fetus is rare, with an incidence of 1 in 22.000-100.000 pregnancies. Associated with this condition are potencially serious maternal and fetal complications.Case Report: A 32 year old pregnant woman presented with clinical features of hyperthyroidism, confirmed by laboratory. An ultrasound scan revealed a complete hydatiform mole (CHM) ...
