Objectives: Obesity is a growing problem in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) today. The aim of our study is to determine the frequency of overweight/obesity at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up in children with T1DM as well as review the conditions that may accompany.

Methods: A total of 315 patients with T1DM were retrospectively analyzed.

What is the relationship between obesity and new circadian rhythm parameters in Turkish children and adolescents? A case-control study.

Background: Although the relationship between circadian rhythm parameters and obesity in children and adolescents is recognized, there are few studies on this topic. The concept of sleep-corrected social jetlag (SJLsc) has been formulated recently, but its relationship with childhood obesity has not yet been established. Therefore, we thought that SJL might play an important role in the etiology of obesity.

Relationship of Obesity and Related Disorders with Ocular Parameters in Children and Adolescent.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of obesity and obesity-related high blood pressure (BP) on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macula in children and adolescents.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two obese patients followed up in the pediatrics endocrinology clinic between 2018 and 2019 were evaluated in the ophthalmology clinic. The results were compared with 25 healthy subjects, matched for age and sex.

Utility of estimated glucose disposal rate for predicting metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes.

Objectives To determine the clinical utility of the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) for predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes (T1D). Methods Modified criteria of the International Diabetes Federation were used to determine MetS in children and adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age with T1D. The eGDR, a validated marker of insulin sensitivity, was calculated in two different ways using either the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) or waist circumference (WC).

Prevalence of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A Comparative Assessment Based on Criteria Established by the International Diabetes Federation, World Health Organisation and National Cholesterol Education Program.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to compare the widely accepted and used diagnostic criteria for MetS established by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), World Health Organisation (WHO) and National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII).

Methods: We conducted a descriptive, cross sectional study including T1D patients between 8-18 years of age. The three sets of criteria were used to determine the prevalence of MetS and findings compared.

Comparison of Treatment Regimens in Management of Severe Hypercalcemia Due to Vitamin D Intoxication in Children.

Objective: No large study has been conducted to date to compare the effectiveness of prednisolone, alendronate and pamidronate as first-line treatment in children with hypercalcemia due to vitamin D intoxication. The aim was to perform a multicenter, retrospective study assessing clinical characteristics and treatment results.

Methods: A standard questionnaire was uploaded to an online national database system to collect data on children with hypercalcemia (serum calcium level >10.

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Quantification in the Evaluation of Thyroid Elasticity in Pediatric Patients With Hashimoto Thyroiditis.

Objectives: To evaluate the parenchymal elasticity of the thyroid gland with acoustic radiation force impulse imaging in pediatric patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis and to compare it with healthy volunteers.

Methods: Twenty-six patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis and 26 healthy volunteers between 6 and 17 years were included. The shear wave velocity (SWV) values of both thyroid lobes in both groups were evaluated.

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography in Determining the Effects of Type 1 Diabetes on Pancreas and Kidney Elasticity in Children.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of type 1 diabetes on pancreas and kidney elasticity in children, using acoustic radiation force impulse ultrasound elastography.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty autoantibody-positive patients with type 1 diabetes (45% girls; mean [± SD] age, 11.7 ± 4.

Clinical, biochemical and genetic features with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency and final height.

Background: The clinical, laboratory, genetic properties and final height of a large cohort of patients with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency (NC21OHD) in Turkey were analyzed.

Methods: This multicenter, nationwide web-based study collected data.

Results: The mean age was 9.

Does Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Affect the Shear Wave Velocity of the Thyroid Gland of Children Without Autoimmune Thyroiditis?

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the shear wave velocity (SWV) of the thyroid gland with acoustic radiation force impulse elastography in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).

Materials And Methods: Between November 2015 and April 2016, 35 T1D patients who were referred to our hospital's endocrinology outpatient clinic (mean age, 11.88 ± 4.

The Growth Characteristics of Patients with Noonan Syndrome: Results of Three Years of Growth Hormone Treatment: A Nationwide Multicenter Study.

Objective: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a multisystem disorder, and short stature is its most striking manifestation. Optimal growth hormone (GH) treatment for NS is still controversial. In this study, using a nationwide registration system, we aimed to evaluate the growth characteristics and the clinical features of NS patients in Turkey and their growth response to GH treatment.

Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism in Turkey: An Analysis on Frequency and Natural Course.

Objective: Prevalence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Turkey at birth was reported to be as high as 1:650 in 2008-2010. Incidence rates of permanent and transient CH separately are unknown due to lack of follow-up data. We aimed to evaluate the impact of transient hypothyroidism on increasing incidence of CH and to determine the natural course and the clinical, biochemical, and imaging characteristics of transient CH.

Efficacy and safety of pamidronate in children with vitamin D intoxication.

Background: Bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of vitamin D intoxication (VDI) after failure of conventional therapy including prednisolone. Safety concerns restrict the use of bisphosphonates from being used as first-line therapy for VDI in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pamidronate in comparison with prednisolone in children with VDI.
