Objective: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) and its associated factors.Methods: This was a descriptive study of 136 patients with T1DM from five hospitals in Catalonia, Spain (72 girls, mean age 13.4 years (range 8–19). Inclusion criteria were more than 6 months from diagnosis, more than 8 years old and without cognitive problems. Sociodemographic (age, sex, family l...

Introduction: The accumulation of fat in the liver is a serious complication of childhood obesity seems to be associated with cardiometabolic risk.Objective: To examine the association between fat accumulation in the liver and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight children.Material and methods: In the study 68 children/as (51.4% girls) were overweight or obese (defined according to the classification criteria of the Internation...

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: 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: SGA cohort study in analytical and metabolic variables at 3 and 12 months of age with somatométrica situation.Material and methods: Live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, PEG were studied according EG and weight/height (Spanish Tablas 2008). Tours are conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurements of weight, height and perimeter. Blood samples are obtained at least fasting discussed 4h and exce...

Background: Cohort SGA in North of Spain – EPIPEG.Objective and hypotheses: Establish a SGA cohort for monitoring, assessment catch-up, and analysis of middle-environmental and social factors.Method: We study live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, and are classified according age gestation (EG) and weight/height (Spanish growth 2008). Visits were made at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurem...

Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown strong associations between high carotenoids levels and reduced risk of developing various forms of cancer, cardiovascular system diseases, etc.Objective and hypotheses: Carotenoids are hydrophobic substances and are contained in blood in lipoprotein particles. Their conformation depends on their molecular environment. By evaluating the conformation of carotenoids we can obtain various information about the li...

Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) has not been studied in the Ukraine.Objective and hypotheses: We investigated the genetic aetiology and treatment of patients with CHI.Method: Routine clinical and laboratory investigations were performed in children with hypoglycaemia. Genetic testing was undertaken for seven patients with CHI from 9 families. KCNJ11, ABCC8, HNF4A genes were sequenced in all patients. For those...

Though up to fourteen different MODY subtypes have been so far described, there are no studies in the literature which have determined their actual frequency and prevalence in pediatric patients.Objectives: To identify the underlying molecular basis in a cohort of pediatric patients with a suspected clinical diagnosis of MODY by targeted NGS.Materials/Methods: Cohort of 60 patient fulfilling MODY c...
