Objectives: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A (PHP1A) encompasses the association of resistance to multiple hormones, features of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy and decreased Gsα activity. Little is known about the early signs of PHP1A, with a delay in diagnosis. We report two PHP1A cases and their clinical and biochemical findings during a 20-year follow-up.

Introduction: ß-pancreatic cells are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication; this could lead to infection-related diabetes or precipitate the onset of type 1 diabetes. This study aimed to determine the severity at diagnosis, analyzing clinical and epidemiological features at debut in children under 16 years of age in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational multicenter study was carried out in 7 hospitals of the public health network located in the south of our community.

Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion, presenting among other systemic complications, diabetes mellitus. The appearance of motor clumsiness, with running and jumping difficulties in a 6-year-old boy prompted the genetic study of Friedreich's ataxia, confirming his diagnosis. After diagnosis, it was evaluated by Pediatric Cardiology, detecting the presence of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and by Pediatric Endocrinology, due to overweight.

Introduction: To examine the triglyceride/glucose index (TyG) as an insulin resistance marker in obese children and adolescents and its relation to clinical and biochemical parameters, body composition and lifestyle.

Patients And Method: Sixty patients aged 7-16 years of age were enrolled. Anthropometric variables were recorded, together with pubertal stage, blood pressure and body composition assessed by bioimpedance.

Introduction And Purpose: To examine the effect of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle power output (MPO) on bone mass of prepubertal and pubertal children using lean mass (LM) and percentage of fat mass (%FM) as mediator variables. The hypothesis was that both LM and %FM would be independent mediators of the relationships during the sexual maturation period.

Methods: We analyzed 200 children (88 boys and 112 girls [11.
