Unlabelled: The impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) on school performance is controversial.
Objective: To study the relationship between school performance and metabolic control in children with T1D (Ch-T1D), comparing their school grades to general population children (Ch-GP).
Patients And Method: Clinical data for 66 Ch-T1D was reviewed, school grades were compared in Ch-T1D with Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) HbA1c < 7.
Background: Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare but severe complication after laparoscopic bariatric surgery, with potentially serious consequences. We aimed to describe the incidence, clinical features, management, outcome, and midterm follow-up in patients with PMVT after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: This retrospective and descriptive study included patients who underwent LSG between November 2009 and July 2015 and developed PMVT.
Objective: To assess the effect of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and other maternal factors on the timing of adiposity rebound (AR).
Methods: In this study, 594 mothers (mothers who do not have diabetes and not underweight) from the longitudinal Growth and Obesity Chilean Cohort Study self-reported their weights at the beginning and end of their pregnancies, and their heights were measured. Pre-pregnancy BMI was categorized as normal weight, overweight, or obesity, and GWG was assessed according to Institute of Medicine guidelines.
Background: The possible relationship between the circulating concentrations of T4 and GH sensitivity has not been elucidated.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of levothyroxine supplementation on GH sensitivity in prepubertal boys with idiopathic short stature (ISS).
Methods: We selected 28 prepubertal boys with ISS (mean age 8.
