Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (VD) effects on lung function and immune-modulation might affect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection outcomes. We aimed to assess VD levels on admission and their association with life-threatening RSV disease (LTD).
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted during 2017-2019.
Cut-off values of serum growth hormone (GH) in pharmacological stimulation tests (PhT) evaluated in short-statured children using a chemiluminescent immunometric assay (ICMA) calibrated with the International Recombinant Human GH Standard 98/574.

Article Synopsis
- Newborns with ambiguous genitalia or nonpalpable gonads need early evaluation to determine the state of their testicular tissue.
- The study tracked hormone levels in 57 boys and 13 girls from day 2 to day 30, focusing on gonadotropins, testosterone, AMH, and inhibins.
- Key findings showed that Sertoli cell markers like AMH and inhibin B are effective indicators of normal testicular tissue presence, with significant hormonal changes occurring within the first month of life.
