DICER1 syndrome is an inherited condition associated with an increased risk of developing hamartomatous and neoplastic lesions in diverse organs, mainly at early ages. Germline pathogenic variants in DICER1 cause this condition. Detecting a variant of uncertain significance in DICER1 or finding uncommon phenotypes complicate the diagnosis and can negatively impact patient care.

However, the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation on AMH levels is not clearly known. In the study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of GnRH stimulation on AMH levels in central precocious puberty (CPP) and isolated premature thelarche (PT) groups.

Methods: This study included 51 children with HT and 53 control subjects. The ocular surface characteristics of participants were assessed via Schirmer's test, TBUT, and CIC.
Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Microalbuminuria (MA) is generally considered as the earliest manifestation of DN. However, it has been shown that MA may be temporary and not reflect permanent renal failure.

- Lipodystrophy syndromes involve significant loss of adipose tissue and are often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which notably presents as proteinuria.
- A study analyzed 103 patients with non-HIV-associated lipodystrophy to investigate renal complications, focusing on kidney function and protein levels.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of CKD, especially in generalized lipodystrophy, with early complications linked to poor metabolic control and genetic factors potentially influencing kidney disease development.
Background/purpose: Rabies is still an important health problem particularly in underdeveloped or developing countries. In this study, the aim was to investigate demographic characteristics and vaccination schedules of cases suspected of having rabies and admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic of our hospital, which serves as one of the Rabies Vaccination Centers in our province.
Methods: In our study, medical records of 200 patients admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic with suspicion of risk of contact with the rabies virus were retrospectively analyzed.
Objective: We aimed to describe the feasibility of a prediction of adenoid hypertrophy by pediatricians for diagnostic accuracy of nasopharyngeal x-ray in a pediatric unit.
Methods: Forty-six patients with a history of probable adenoid hypertrophy between January 2013 and August 2013 were included in the study. Participants were excluded from the study if they had previous adenoidectomy; anatomic anomaly in the nose, palate, or nasopharynx; and acute infection.
