Introduction: Individuals with ovotesticular disorders of sexual development (OT-DSD) have both seminiferous tubules and ovarian follicles. The combination of gonads could be separated (ovary-testis), unilateral (ovotestis-ovary or ovotestis-testis), or bilateral (ovotestis-ovotestis). The last one is the rarest variant (24.5%). In 60% of cases, the karyotype is 46, XX.Case Report: 15-year-old, monochorionic-monoamniotic...

Background: 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) basal levels greater than 2ng/ml has been related to the need to request an ACTH test to dismiss non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have seen an increase in baseline levels in 2021 compared to 2020.Objectives: To determine how many of the tests that were requested due to a high basal 17-OHP value, were positive. Assess the need to modify the cut-off points to reques...

Objectives: The etiopathogenetic of childhood obesity is related to genetic and environmental factors: not only caloric intake or physical activity have an important influence, but also circadian rhythms, including healthy sleep.The objectives of this study were: a) to analyze the different patterns and duration of sleep, eating habits, meal schedules, time dedicated to exercise and screens of obesity children; b) to evaluate its possibl...

The objective of this study has been the analysis of plasma chemistry in a group of children born SGA at the University Hospital of Álava- Txagorritxu and biochemical parameters related to the metabolic syndrome.Material and Methods: In a cohort of 27 subjects sub (13 boys and 14 girls) from the epiPEG-PreMeb study, a blood sample at 3, 12 and 24 months of life it was extracted. Biochemical parameters s and measured by automated and...

Background: Insulin resistance precedes metabolic syndrome abnormalities, and may promote cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in obese children. Lifestyle modification programs have been proposed as the gold standard of care in these individuals. However, results have been discouraging and the use of adjuvant strategies has been necessary. Metformin has beneficial effects on weight reduction, favoring a decrease in body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance in obese n...

Up to 50% of children born SGA to 2 years have not made a proper catch up (by excess or defect), with repercussions in size, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, DM, etc. epiPEG-PreMeb project to study during their first two years of life.Goals:: Establish a SGAcohort for monitoring, evaluation catch-up, and analysis of medium-environmental and social factors. To study the influence of these variables on clinical, laboratory and metabolic profiles. So...

Background: CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 3 (CRTC3) is found in adipocytes where it may promote obesity through disruption of catecholamine signaling. CRTC3 knockout mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity.Objective and Hypotheses: The goals of the present study were i) to assess whether CRTC3 is a soluble protein secreted by adipose tissue ii) to explore whether CRTC3 is detectable and quantifiable in the circulation, and iii) to ...

Background: Up to 50% SGA did not do a proper catch up (for over/under) and may have implications in size, metabolic, cardiovascular. Arises: epiSGA – PreMeb Project. Global approach to study.Objective: Create clinical cohort of SGA for monitoring, assessment catch-up, use GHRH requirements, environmental/social factors and variables influence on clinical, laboratory and metabolic profiles in order to progress in the knowledge of natural history. Pr...

Background: Although the theoretical impact of small in weight and/or size at birth (<2 SDS for EG) is 3–5% (3.5% in the Basque Country (source: Local Government) the socio-economic situation in our country has conditioned a change in its l although 50% at 2 years did not do a proper catch up (by excess or defect) with potential impact on future size and metabolic complications, cardiovascular require specific monitoring.Objective: To assess soc...

Background: Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with skeletal, cardiac, and ocular involvement. Mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene on chromosome 15 are responsible for the development of the syndrome.Objective: To present one case of neonatal Marfan syndrome.Case: The patient was a 1-day-old female neonate who was born at 36 weeks gestation via normal delivery. Her body weight was 2900 g and height 48 cm. Ultra...
