Article Synopsis
- * Screening focuses on measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine in dried blood samples from babies, but there’s no universal agreement on the ideal TSH threshold for diagnosis, although 8 mU/L is commonly accepted.
- * This study, involving eight sets of twins, aimed to evaluate whether a TSH threshold of 8 mU/L affects growth and development; results showed no significant differences in outcomes between twins with TSH levels above and below this threshold.
Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely linked to chronic disorders. This study aims to explore the correlation between pediatric anemia and mitochondrial markers, specifically fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). This study included 66 children, with 34 diagnosed with anemia and 32 in the healthy control group.

Obesity is a major nutritional problem with an increasing prevalence among children and adolescents. The () gene encodes the UDP-glucuronosyl transferase enzyme, converting the toxic form of bilirubin to a soluble, nontoxic form. There are yet to be studies on the evaluation of the variant types detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and their effects on bilirubin levels in nonsyndromic obese children.
