Analysis of treatment efficacy in girls with anorexia nervosa (III).

Objectives: So far, no unequivocal answer has been provided to the question of how to treat girls with anorexia nervosa (AN). The goal of the study was evaluation of treatment results and search for prognostic factors, regarding the outcome of administered therapy in girls with AN.

Patients And Methods: The analysis comprised eighty-seven (87) patients with diagnosis of AN.

[Phenotypic evaluation of patients with Pendred syndrome].

Introduction: The Pendred syndrome (PS) is an autosomally recessively inherited disease. Its diagnosis requires identification of the classical triad of symptoms, including hypoacusis, thyroid goitre and iodine organification defect in the thyroid, which may lead to thyroid functional disorders of hypothyroidism. SP is accompanied by anatomical anomalies.

Relation of trophic changes in the central nervous system, measured by the width of cordical sulci, to the clinical course of anorexia nervosa (II).

Objectives: In patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), computer tomography (CT) scanning and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MR) are usually applied to visualise trophic changes of the brain, resulting from considerable malnutrition or general cachexia of the organism. The goal of the study was an evaluation attempt of the degree of trophic changes in the central nervous system (CNS) of girls with AN, following CT scanning of the brain, together with an analysis of selected clinical and diagnostic parameters, related to the trophic changes in question.

Patients & Methods: The study involved fifty-five (55) female patients with AN.

Evaluation of selected clinical and diagnostic parameters in girls with anorexia nervosa (I).

Objectives: Body weight loss in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) is accompanied by a number of hormonal and metabolic disorders. The scope and intensity of these disorders may have a considerable influence on the prognosis in this disease. The goal of the study was an evaluation of selected diagnostic examinations in comparison with clinical data of female patients with AN.

Analysis of physical and mental development of children with aplasia, hypoplasia and ectopy of the thyroid gland.

Objective: Evaluation of clinical and biochemical differences between various forms of thyroid dysgenesia in children.

Methods: The study involved 102 children at the age between 4.8 and 14.
