Article Synopsis
- The case report highlights the successful use of an Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) system for insulin treatment in a young patient with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) due to a genetic condition.
- The patient transitioned from intravenous insulin to a Medtronic Minimed 780G insulin pump, and by age 2, automated insulin delivery significantly improved glycaemic control and met treatment goals.
- Over a one-month follow-up, there was a notable increase in Time in Range (TIR) and a reduction in hyperglycaemia, with no severe complications reported, emphasizing the importance of good glycaemic management for young patients' health and development.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
July 2022
Aim/hypothesis: To compare the frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 with the frequency of DKA during 2017-2019.
Methods: Forty-seven pediatric diabetes centers caring for >90% of young people with diabetes in Italy recruited 4,237 newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes between 2017 and 2020 in a longitudinal study. Four subperiods in 2020 were defined based on government-imposed containment measures for COVID-19, and the frequencies of DKA and severe DKA compared with the same periods in 2017-2019.
Intra-articular venous malformations of the knee: a diagnostic challenge.

Background: Intra-articular venous malformations (IAVM) are rare benign vascular anomalies that usually affect young patients and most common locate in the knee. The terminology of these lesions is still ill-defined, as they are often termed in the literature as synovial hemangiomas. Early diagnosis can be difficult, because they usually present with nonspecific clinical manifestations that are similar those of other rheumatic diseases, especially juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
