Article Synopsis
- The document discusses two key topics related to childhood development: the new focus on promoting reading during the early years of life and the ongoing debate about the necessity of screening for iron deficiency in children under 5.
- It highlights the importance of early reading in fostering literacy skills and cognitive growth.
- Additionally, it addresses the concerns and uncertainties faced by parents, caregivers, and health professionals regarding iron deficiency screening.
Objective: The aim was to identify the influence of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1), IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), and bone age (BA)/chronological age (CA) ratio on the response to GH therapy after 1 and 2 years of treatment and upon reaching final height.
Methods: Longitudinal, retrospective, observational study of 139 patients treated for idiopathic growth hormone deficiency. Variables examined during follow-up: (1) genetic background; (2) perinatal history; (3) anthropometry; (4) height velocity, BA, BA/CA and height prognosis; (5) analytical results (IGF-1, IGFBP-3).
Article Synopsis
- Fetal pericardial effusion (IFPE) can occur with various conditions and is increasingly linked to severe pathologies, even being observed in isolation.
- Over a decade, 38 fetuses from 37 pregnancies with IFPE were assessed in a tertiary hospital, revealing a high spontaneous resolution rate of 86.8% but also significant morbidity and mortality among newborns.
- Although IFPE is often thought to have a good prognosis, the study indicates that it can be associated with serious health issues, necessitating thorough monitoring both before and after birth for better outcomes.
Introduction: Short stature is the most frequent reason for consultation in Pediatric Endocrinology consultations and sometimes requires treatment with growth hormone. The aim of the study was to analyze the response to treatment based on its onset in pubertal or prepubertal stages and to analyze the possible benefit of an early onset.
Patients And Methods: Longitudinal, retrospective and observational study in 139 patients treated for idiopathic growth hormone deficiency up to adult height.
