Iodine-Deficiency Levels in Schoolchildren Aged Between 6 and 12

Munoz-Serrano Ana , Gonzalez-Gonzalez Abel , Maria Tenias-Burillo Jose , Falero-Gallego Piedad , Canete Ramon

Background: Iodine deficiency is the main cause of endemic goitre. A total of 29.8% of the world’s school-age children insufficient iodine intake. A population is deemed iodine-sufficient when median iodine levels are over 100 μg/l; measured iodine deficiency serves as a diagnostic criterion for determining the extent to which goitre is endemic, and also as an indicator of the gradual eradication of iodine-deficiency disorders.Patients, materia...

FGFR3 Gene: a Very Rare Mutation

Hawkins Magdalena , Alcalde Ana , Yebra Julia , Quintero Victor , Trujillo-Tiebas Maria Jose , Canete Alfonso

Background: Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are more frequent types of skeletal dysplasia. De novo mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene are the principal cause. More than 95% of the cases of achondroplasia result from a mutation G1138A (Gly380Arg). In hypochondroplasia we usually (50–70%) found the change C1620A y C1620G, N540K (Asn540Lys).Objective and hypotheses: We describe an skeletal dysplasia...

Diagnostic precision of the Tri-Ponderal Mass Index (kg/m3) to identify the metabolic risk phenotype in obese children and adolescents.

Arciniegas Larry , Tomasini Rosangela , Vega Elizabeth , Fabregas Ana , Clemente Maria , Yeste Diego ,

Introduction: The metabolically healthy obese phenotype (MHOF) defines obese patients who have preserved insulin sensitivity and who do not have metabolic complications: lower risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Recent studies indicate that TMI (kg/m3) estimates the percentage of body fat more accurately than the BMI and it has been proposed to substitute the use of the BMI z-score values by those of the TMI. TMI values ...

Diagnostic accuracy of Tri-Ponderal mass index (kg/m3) for identifying glucose intolerance in obese children and adolescents.

Arciniegas Larry , Mogas Eduard , Tomasini Rosangela , Fabregas Ana , Clemente Maria , Yeste Diego ,

Introduction: The identification of obese patients with increased susceptibility and risk for glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes requires an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Reference values for Body mass index (BMI) and Tri-Ponderal mass index (TMI) according to age and sex of healthy children in Spain without malnutrition or obesity have recently been published (*). TMI values remain very uniform in both boys and girls from the age of 8 to 18 years, ...

Due to the increase in prevalence of childhood obesity, more obese children are referred to the endocrinologist for the hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal axis assessment. The circadian rhythm (CR) of cortisol in saliva (SAF) may constitute a non-invasive, first line test to exclude hypercortisolism on obese children.Aim: To evaluate possible disturbances of CR of SAF in obese children with clinical signs of hypercortisolism.<p class="a...

Sleep Quality in Caregivers of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Pediatric Patients - The Impact of isCGM Alarms

Sousa Eulália , Luís Telma , Cristina Santos Ana , Lima Conceição , Adriana Rangel Maria , Arménia Campos Rosa , Luísa Leite Ana

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most frequent chronic diseases in the pediatric age and demands constant and rigorous glycemic control. Intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems are a helpful tool in diabetes management. Second-generation isCGM contain alarms to assist in the detection of hyper or hypoglycemia. We aimed to compare the sleep quality of principal caregivers of T1DM pediatric patients who use i...

Background/Aims: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to investigate the etiology of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). There is a close relationship between structural changes in the pituitary gland and clinical status.We aimed to investigate the relationship between MRI findings and clinical symptoms and treatment response in children with GHD.Methods: The study was conducted in nine Department...
