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...

Background: Glucagon stimulation test (GST) is used to assess growth hormone (GH) and cortisol reserves in children being investigated for GH deficiency, as a small percentage of children with idiopathic GH deficiency can also exhibit deficiency in the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-cortisol axis. However, the extent of normal cortisol response after glucagon stimulation and its associations with clinical and laboratory parameters have not been thoroughly...

Background: Isolated growth hormone deficiency type IA (IGHD IA) is described in families with homozygous GH1 deletions that arise from unequal recombination and crossing over within the GH gene cluster during meiosis. Patients with IGHD IA show early and severe growth failure and tend to develop antibodies upon treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH).Aims: To present the follow−up of three ...

Background: Growth hormone (GH) deficiency in children, confirmed by stimulation diagnostic tests, in some cases is accompanied by low effectiveness of somatropin replacement therapy, which may be associated with rare genetic syndromes.Aim: To study the growth effects of GH therapy in treating a patient with Floating-Harbor SyndromeMethods: A GH deficiency was diagnosed in a patien...

Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a genetic disorder with physical, cognitive, somatic and endocrine disorders. Objective. To study endocrine and mammary disorders in girl with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. Objective and hypotheses: We describe a clinical case of Cornelia de Lange syndrome in girl, 10 y.o.Method: Total examination (includingmammological and gynecological examination), hormonal analysis, thyroid, mammological and gynecological ...

Decreased resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a risk factor for the development and progression of obesity. Childhood obesity is accompanied by the development of metabolic disorders, which often persist in adults. The relationship between the rate of basal metabolism and development of childhood obesity complications is not well understood.Objective and hypotheses: Measure resting metabolic rate in obese children and assess the pronouncement of metabolic di...
