Short-Term Weight Gain after Tonsillectomy Does Not Lead to Overweight: A Systematic Review.

Different studies and systematic reviews have reported weight increase after tonsillectomy. However, the odds of a child being overweight or obese after tonsillectomy were no different than before surgery, according to a few studies. This systematic review aims to analyze the impact of adenotonsillectomy (TA) on weight gain and identify subgroups of children and adolescents at risk of experiencing weight gain.

Glycemic variability and Time in range are associated with the risk of overweight and high LDL-cholesterol in children and youths with Type 1 Diabetes.

Introduction: Reducing cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) exposure in children and youths with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is critical for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevention. Long-term exposure to hyperglycaemia, measured by HbA1c, had been recognized as the main factor affecting CVRFs profile. To date, the possible association between short-term glycaemic control and variability measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics and CVRFs has not been explored.

Wolfram Syndrome Type 2: A Systematic Review of a Not Easily Identifiable Clinical Spectrum.

Background: Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by the presence of diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and hearing loss, all of which are crucial elements for the diagnosis. WS is variably associated with diabetes insipidus, neurological disorders, urinary tract anomalies, endocrine dysfunctions and many other systemic manifestations. Since Wolfram and Wagener first described WS in 1938, new phenotypic/genotypic variants of the syndrome have been observed and the clinical picture has been significantly enriched.
