Visceral Adiposity Index as an Indicator of Cardiometabolic Risk in Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

To evaluate the cardiometabolic risk in patients with CAH (21 (OH) enzyme deficiency) on the basis of the visceral adiposity index (VAI), which indicates dysfunction of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT). A total of 41 patients and 38 body mass index (BMI), age, and gender-matched healthy controls (HC) were included. The patients' and HCs' age, gender, waist circumference (WC), BMI information and total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG) values, smoking, and medication history were obtained from medical charts.

Effect of the COVID-19 quarantine on metabolic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Introduction: Metabolic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D) depends on many factors such as eating habits, exercise and lifestyle. The objective of this study was to investigate how these factors were affected during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown and impacted metabolic control in children with T1D.

Materials And Method: One hundred children with T1D were enrolled in the study.

Silent Corticotroph Tumor with Adrenocortical Choristoma in an Eleven-year-old Boy.

Silent corticotroph tumors are composed of corticotroph cells, but do not manifest any biochemical or clinical evidence of hypercortisolism. A choristoma is a benign, congenital proliferation of histologically mature tissue elements normally not present at the site of occurrence. The existence of adrenocortical cells within the pituitary gland, which can be explained as a choristoma, is a very rare entity, and the co-occurrence of these two entities have only been reported in few cases.

Evaluation of the thyroid disorders in children with familial Mediterranean fever.

Although it is well-known that autoimmune thyroid diseases are more common in most of the autoimmune connective tissue diseases, the relationship between autoinflammatory diseases and autoimmune thyroid diseases has not well-evaluated yet and still remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of autoimmune diseases of the thyroid gland and to evaluate thyroid function tests in children with familial Mediterranean fever. Thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and thyroid autoimmune markers such as thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies, and thyroid ultrasound findings of 133 patients with familial Mediterranean fever and 70 healthy controls were evaluated.

Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Patients with Corticosterone Methyloxidase Deficiency Type 2: Novel Mutations in .

Corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency type 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder presenting with salt loss and failure to thrive in early childhood and is caused by inactivating mutations of the gene. Herein, we describe four Turkish patients from two families who had clinical and hormonal features compatible with corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency and all had inherited novel variants. All of the patients presented with vomiting, failure to thrive and severe dehydration, except one patient with only failure to thrive.

Apparent diffusion coefficient measurement of ovarian stroma: A potential tool for the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of ovarian stroma in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Materials And Methods: This study was approved by the institutional review board and informed consent was obtained from each women. A total of 17 women (mean age, 22.
