Body frame size in school children is related to the amount of adipose tissue in different depots but not to adipose distribution.

Objectives: The main aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that body frame size is related to the amount of fat in different adipose tissue depots and to fat distribution in schoolchildren.

Methods: Children aged between 5 and 10 years were included in this cross-sectional study (n = 565). Body frame size, adiposity markers (anthropometric, skinfolds thickness, and ultrasound measures), and fat distribution indices were analyzed.

[Pituitary tumor detected prenatally].

Introduction: Brain tumors are present in 2.9 per 100,000 newborn. Craniopharyngioma is a benign and slow growing brain tumor, frequently localized in the sellar and suprasellar region.

[Prenatal dexametasone and periventricular leucomalacia in prematures].

Background: Prematurity is observed in 5-8% of deliveries, and is frequent cause of handicap. Premature have 5-24% risk for developing periventricular leukomalacia (PLM). The use of antenatal steroids (AS) is controversial for preventing PLM.

[Prenatal diagnosis of pulmonary valve stenosis and immediate neonal valvuloplasty].

Unlabelled: There are few reports of prenatal diagnosis of severe pulmonary valvar stenosis (PVS). It affects 1/22,000 newborn and represents 8-10% of total congenital cardiac defects. Clinic

Case: we report a case of a neonate in which was prenatally detected a pulmonary valvar stenosis and was successfully corrected with early valvuloplasty.
