An Early Case of Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

Inguinal hernias are rare in female infants, and when present, there is an increased incidence of androgen insensitivity in these infants. We present a case of bilateral inguinal hernias in a 26-day-old full-term phenotypic female. On physical exam, the patient was found to have bilateral palpable inguinal masses which were suspected to be testicular tissue on ultrasound.

Treatment of hyperglycemia not associated with NAFLD improvement in children with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background And Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have become public health problems in the pediatric population. However, the relationship between these two conditions is not well understood. The primary objective of this study was to assess whether treatment of hyperglycemia in obese, treatment-naive children with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) was associated with an improvement of surrogate markers of NAFLD.

Association of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis With Panhypopituitarism Due to Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) commonly occurs in overweight or obese adolescents, but can also be associated with endocrine disorders including hypothyroidism, pituitary tumors, and growth hormone deficiency. In this article, we present a case of panhypopituitarism that initially presented with SCFE. A 16-year-old male presented with right SCFE.

Real-World Screening for Retinopathy in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes Using a Nonmydriatic Fundus Camera.

Objective: To assess the use of a portable retinal camera in diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening in multiple settings and the presence of associated risk factors among children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Design And Methods: Five hundred youth with type 1 diabetes of at least 1 year's duration were recruited from clinics, diabetes camp, and a diabetes conference and underwent retinal imaging using a nonmydriatic fundus camera. Retinal characterization was performed remotely by a licensed ophthalmologist.

Transition Education for Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Pilot Feasibility Study for a Group Telehealth Intervention.

Background: Young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience a decline in glycemic outcomes and gaps in clinical care. A diabetes education and support program designed for young adults was delivered through group videoconference and mobile Web.

Objective: The objective of our study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the program as measured by attendance and webpage views, satisfaction, and pre- and postintervention psychosocial outcomes, respectively.

Can we prevent type 1 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) affects 1.93 in 1000 youth in the USA. Over the last 40 years, a combination of genetic and immunological markers has been developed allowing for the accurate prediction of progression to T1D.

Correlates of the metabolic syndrome among a sample of women in the San Juan Metropolitan area of Puerto Rico.

Background: The metabolic syndrome is an interaction of risk factors that may lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Given the need for data in Puerto Rico, this cross-sectional study aimed to determine the association between demographic, lifestyles, and reproductive characteristics and the metabolic syndrome among a sample of women (N = 564) in the San Juan Metropolitan Area. The metabolic syndrome was defined based on the revised National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria.
