Evaluation of Two New Anti-Müllerian Hormone Assays for the Investigation of Disorders of Sexual Development in Neonates

Ho Clement K M , Setoh Johnson W S

Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) inhibits the in utero growth of the Müllerian structures in female fetuses. In neonates with suspected disorders of sexual development (DSDs), the presence of testicular tissues and functioning Sertoli cells can be investigated by testing for serum AMH concentration.Objective: To evaluate the performance of two new AMH assays in a hospital laboratory.Method: The technical performan...

How Early are Vascular Changes in Obese Children Among North Indian Population?

Umapathi Krishna Kishore , Yadav Sangeeta , Tyagi Sanjay , Mishra T K

Background: Obese children are known to be at high risk for vascular complications and there is paucity in Indian literature regarding the onset and magnitude of vascular complications. Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and Brachial artery distensibility are known to predict future atherogenesis.Objective and hypotheses: To compare vascular parameters of obese children aged 5–18 years with age and sex matched controls and its relationship with p...

Clinico-Biochemical Correlation Among Children with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome

Yadav Sangita , Umapathi Krishna Kishore , Mishra T K

Background: Childhood obesity associated with risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) and paucity in Indian literature regarding correlation between clinical and biochemical parameters in obese and MetS.Objective and hypotheses: Comparing clinical and biochemical correlation of obese children, controls and MetS.Method: Eighty children (40 obese and 40 age and sex matched controls) 5–18 years recruited after approval by In...

Increasing Lean Body Mass, Phase Angle, and Total Body Water But Decreasing Body Fat Among Short-statured Children Born Small-for-Gestational Age on GH Treatment

Volkl Thomas M K , Stumpf Isabel , Dorr Helmuth-G

Background: There is a small proportion of children born SGA without postnatal catch-up growth who are presented with persistent short stature, low BMI, and decreased lean body mass (LBM). Data on body composition are rarely reported in the literature. Our study addresses the question whether human recombinant GH treatment could affect body composition in these SGA children or not.Design: We included 58 SGA children (n=20 females) with SGA (birt...

Adrenal insufficiency masquerading as biliary atresia in an infant

Hashim Raihana , Senanayaka Ayodya , Kiriwaththuduwa K S U , Vass Angela ,

Background: Adrenal insufficiency is a rare cause of neonatal cholestasis, which is reversible with prompt glucocorticoid administration.Case presentation: A 2-month old baby boy was referred to the paediatric endocrine department for evaluation of intermittent hypoglycaemia associated with metabolic acidosis, hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia. The infant was second born to second-degree consanguineous parents whose first...

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Reveals Undertreated Hypoglycemia in Patients with Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Hood Davelyn E. , Roberts Brian K. , Neale Ann , Raskin Julie ,

Introduction: Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most frequent cause of severe, persistent hypoglycemia in children. Despite current treatments, patients/caregivers report continued hypoglycemia according to the HI Global Registry 2020 Annual Report. Published literature characterizing hypoglycemia in CHI patients on standard of care (SOC) therapies is lacking.Objective: To quantify the extent of hypoglycemia in CHI...

Semaglutide treatment for severe obesity after craniopharyngioma surgery with or without radiotherapy.

Rønholt Christensen Ann-Margrethe , Birkebæk Niels

Background: Severe hypothalamic obesity (HO) is frequent sequelae in craniopharyngioma (CP) patients after surgery with or without radiotherapy. The pathophysiological mechanisms behind HO include impairment of the hypothalamic structures controlling satiety and energy expenditure. Weight gain often continues despite adequate pituitary hormone substitution, and conventional lifestyle changes as exercise and reduced caloric intake rarely have a lasting weight r...

An 18 Month Old Boy with Hypoglycemic Convulsion and Obesity Due to POMC Deficiency

Betul Kaygusuz Sare , Yesil Gozde , Kırkgoz Tarık , Turan Serap , Bereket Abdullah , Guran Tulay

Objectives: Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the polypeptide precursor of several peptides including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and β-endorphin. POMC deficiency is a very rare disease characterized by adrenal insufficiency, early-onset obesity, and pigmentation abnormalities. Here we describe an 18 month old boy with central adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, obesity and fair skin. Genetic analysis revealed a homozygous p.G99...

Steroidogenesis in the Human Fetal Adrenals at the End of the First Trimester

Savchuk Iuliia , Morvan M.L. , Soeborg T. , Antignac J.P. , Danielsson K. Gemzell , Bizec B. Le , Soder O. , Svechnikov K.

Background: Steroid hormones produced by the human fetal adrenals (HFA) are suggested to regulate intrauterine homeostasis and the maturation of certain fetal organs necessary for extrauterine life. Appropriate development and hormonal function of the HFA therefore are critical for normal fetal maturation and survival. Little is known about the possible relationship between the expression of steroidogenic enzymes and corresponding transcription factors in the HFA in vivo</...

Evaluation of Arterial Stiffness in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Using Speckle Tracking Carotid Strain Ultrasonography: Do Atherosclerotic Changes Begin in Childhood?

Gök Mustafa , Deveci Sevim Reyhan , Öztürk Sercan , Ünüvar Tolga , Anık Ahmet

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Speckle Tracking Carotid Strain (STKS) ultrasonography technique, which allows the measurement of arterial stiffness and strain parameters, in the detection of early atherosclerotic findings in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Materials and Methods: Children aged 7-18 years with T1DM and no other comorbidities were included in the stud...
