Impact of continuous glucose monitoring on everyday life of young children with type 1 diabetes and their parents: An evaluation of 114 families.

Introduction: The prevalence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide. The advent of new monitoring devices has enabled tighter glycemic control.

Aim: To study the impact of glucose monitoring devices on the everyday life of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their parents.

Performance of the ACMG-AMP criteria in a large familial renal glucosuria cohort with identified SLC5A2 sequence variants.

Familial Renal Glucosuria (FRG) is a co-dominantly inherited trait characterized by orthoglycaemic glucosuria. From 2003 to 2015 we have reported several cohorts validating SLC5A2 (16p11.2), encoding SGLT2 (Na+/glucose cotransporter family member 2), as the gene responsible for FRG.

Outcomes of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery activated 24/7 versus evening and night in free-living prepubertal children with type 1 diabetes: A multicentre, randomized clinical trial.

Aim: To assess the safety and efficacy of hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery 24/7 versus only evening and night (E/N), and on extended 24/7 use, in free-living children with type 1 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: Prepubertal children (n = 122; 49 females/73 males; age, 8.6 ± 1.

Impact of deprivation on glycaemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes in the southwestern region of France.

Objectives: The objective of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to determine predictors of poor glycaemic control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly with respect to socioeconomic status (SES).

Methods: Our study population consisted of 1154 children who attended T1DM follow-up consultation with a pediatric diabetes specialist. Clinical and demographic data were retrieved retrospectively from patients' records.

Is there an optimal strategy for real-time continuous glucose monitoring in pediatrics? A 12-month French multi-center, prospective, controlled randomized trial (Start-In!).

Aim: To compare the efficacy of three strategies for real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) over 12 months in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: A French multicenter trial (NCT00949221) with a randomized, controlled, prospective, open, and parallel-group design was conducted. After 3 months of RT-CGM, patients were allocated to one of three groups: return to self-monitoring of blood glucose, continuous CGM (80% of the time), or discontinuous CGM (40% of the time).

Closed-loop driven by control-to-range algorithm outperforms threshold-low-glucose-suspend insulin delivery on glucose control albeit not on nocturnal hypoglycaemia in prepubertal patients with type 1 diabetes in a supervised hotel setting.

This randomized control trial investigated glucose control with closed-loop (CL) versus threshold-low-glucose-suspend (TLGS) insulin pump delivery in pre-pubertal children with type 1 diabetes in supervised hotel conditions. The patients [n = 24, age range: 7-12, HbA1c: 7.5 ± 0.

[Childhood steroid-dependent idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: Predictive factors for the need of immunosuppressive treatment].

Background And Aims: More than half of the children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome become steroid-dependent (or frequent relapsers) and will later require the use of complementary treatment aiming to reduce steroids' side effects and to limit the number of proteinuria relapses. It appears important to identify these children as early as possible in order to adapt their treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the population of children, under 18 years of age, diagnosed between 1/01/2000 and 31/05/2015 with an idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and followed at the Montpellier University Hospital to search for criteria predictive of steroid-sparing agent use.

[Epidemiology of diabetes in children in Languedoc-Roussillon (France)].

Since 1st January 2000, the PEDIAB-LR registry has listed new cases of diabetes in children under 16 years of age in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, in order to assess the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of children affected by diabetes. At the end of December 2010, 745 children had been registered. The characteristics of these children included an identical proportion of girls and boys, a mean age of 8 years at diagnosis, and a family history of type 1 diabetes in 8.

[Hemolytic uremic syndrome with severe neurological involvement: how should it be managed?].

Introduction: The management of diarrhea-associated hemolytic and uremic syndrome (D(+) HUS) with severe acute neurological involvement continues to be debated. We report on 2 cases and discuss the treatment. CASE REPORT 1: A 2.

[Posterior urethral valves: prenatal diagnosis, neonatal data and outcome].

Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the impact of prenatal diagnosis on the epidemiology and outcome of children with posterior urethral valves (PUV), considering that today termination of pregnancy may be proposed in the most severe cases.

Patients And Methods: Forty-three cases of patients with PUV were diagnosed between 1998 and 2007 in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. In this study, we detailed the prenatal data and postnatal outcome of those patients with a mean follow-up period of 7.

Severe hypothyroidism after contrast enema in premature infants.

Premature newborns are particularly vulnerable to iatrogenic hypothyroidism due to iodine exposure, usually through skin absorption of iodine-containing disinfectants or intravenous administration of iodinated contrast agents. We report here a case of severe iatrogenic hypothyroidism with goiter and cholestasis, discovered six weeks after a contrast enema using sodium ioxitalamate, an iodinated contrast agent. Prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, and enteral feeding intolerance could explain why this complication occurred after contrast enema.

[Trisomy 20 mosaicism revealed by pigmentary mosaicism of the Ito-type].

Introduction: Ito hypomelanosis-type pigmentary mosaicism is characterized by congenital pigmentation disorders along Blaschko's lines. We report a case of Ito-type pigmentary mosaicism associated with a congenital growth hormone deficiency having revealed trisomy 20 mosaicism.

Observation: A 4 year-old boy presented with congenital pigmentation disorders.

Comparison of ultrasound and dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy changes in acute pyelonephritis.

The strategy for morphological investigations in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN) remains debatable. We studied 70 children (median age 2.0 years) admitted with a first episode of pyelonephritis using a high-resolution ultrasound technique (RUS) and compared the results with 99m technetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy.

[Hematuria revealing primary hyperparathyroidism in a child].

Background: Hematuria rarely reveals primary hyperparathyroidism in the child.

Case Report: A 10-year-old boy presented with gross hematuria and urolithiasis. Biological findings showed hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.
