Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as an inflammatory state combined with the disruption of the normal coagulation cascade can lead patients to an increased risk of thrombosis. Especially, patients that are genetically susceptible to thrombosis could develop deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to inflammation, dehydration, and hyperviscosity secondarily to DKA. It is noteworthy that children with DKA who underwent central venous catheter placement could develop DVT, especi...

Introduction: Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 (APS-1) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder resulting from a mutation in the AIRE gene. APS-1 is characterized by three classic clinical features: hypoparathyroidism, Addison’s disease and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Additionally to the classic triad, the phenotype of APS-1 includes several endocrine and non-endocrine autoimmune manifestations. Purpose:Topresent a rapid onset and progression of ch...

Background: Emotional disorders are serious complications in obese children. Dopamine is known to be one of the neurotransmitters, which is in charge of such conditions.Aim: To determine neuroendocrine and psychological status in obese children.Methods: We examined 296 children in the Endocrinological Department of University Hospital (Minsk); group 1 – 206 obese children (simple obesity: 14.35±2 years; BMI 30.8±2.5 ...

Objectives: to study the frequency, ultrasound characteristics and the evolution of intrathyroidal ectopia of thymus(IET) in children.Materials and Methods: as part of an epidemiological study (2014-2017), an assessment consists of incidence of IET in pre-puberty children, which using ultrasound of 1164 patients (604 girls, 560 boys). As part of a clinical study (2014-2019), the ultrasound characteristics and the evoluti...

Aim: To examine the prevalence of endocrine abnormalities and outcome in children and adolescents with Anorexia nervosa (AN).Methods: The study cohort consisted of 181 patients (age 14.6±1.9 years; 160 girls, 21 boys) with AN (n=137), atypical AN (n=6) and other eating disorders except of Bulimia (n=38) who were hospitalized between Jan 2010 and Feb 2013. Somatometric [body-mass-index (BMI), BMI-SDS] and endocrine parameters were a...

Background: The relationship of obesity and emotional disorders is confirmed in many studies. It is known that one of the substances responsible for the emotional status is dopamine.Objective: To study the features of neuroendocrine status in obese children.Methods: We examined 285 children (206 obese, age 14.56±2 years, BMI 32.86±5.1 kg/m2; 79 normal weight (control), 14.51±2.2 years (P=0.95), 19...

Background: Congenital adiptical diabetes insipidus is rare condition in infancy. Immediate diagnosis and treatment is required to ensure normal development.Case report: A boy, from the 2nd pregnancy, 1st term delivery was born with weight 4480 g. Bottle feeding from the 1st months. Weight at 1st months – 4500 g, at 2nd – 5000 g. Until the first 2 months mother complained on child’s apathia, feeding problems, vomiting, weight stagnation. A...

Background: The risk of cardiovascular diseases is increased in girls with TS. The influence by combined GH and estrogen treatment on a condition of cardiovascular system is actively discussed.Objective and hypotheses: We performed this study to assess th effects of combined GH and estrogen treatment on lipid metabolism and systolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in girls with Turner syndrome without clinically relevant cardiac abnormalities.<p ...

Background: Disruption of the melanocortin-4 receptor pathway by genetic variants in POMC/PCSK1 or LEPR can result in hyperphagia and severe early-onset obesity. In the primary analyses of 2 pivotal Phase 3 trials, the melanocortin-4 receptor agonist setmelanotide was associated with significant reductions in body weight and hunger in patients with obesity due to proopiomelanocortin (POMC) or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency. These ...

Background: Objective and hypotheses: Rate the frequency and structure of post-operative complications of thyroidectomy in children with nodular goiter.Method: Twenty-seven children, 20 girls (14.5±3.64 years) and seven boys (14.68±4.09 years), which were performed thyroidectomy about multinodular goiter (n=23) and single-node goiter (n=4) from 2003 to 2015. Were evaluated complaints of patients, physica...
