Impact of stopping burosumab treatment at the end of skeletal growth in adolescents with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH).

Many adolescents with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) currently have to stop treatment with burosumab at the end of skeletal growth. We describe the experience of a cohort of adolescents with XLH before, during, and after stopping burosumab (median treatment duration 37.5 months).

Enhancing equity in access to automated insulin delivery systems in an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of children with type 1 diabetes.

Introduction: Manufacturer-supported didactic teaching programmes offer effective automated insulin delivery (AID) systems onboarding in children and young people (CYP) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, this approach has limited flexibility to accommodate the needs of families requiring additional support.

Research Design And Methods: Evaluate the efficacy of an inperson manufacturer-supported didactic teaching programme (Group A), in comparison to a flexible flipped learning approach delivered virtually or inperson (Group B).

Corneal epithelial and fibrovascular downgrowth postcataract surgery with intrastromal bleed: a rare case study with multimodal imaging.

A woman in her 60s presented with diminution of vision and redness in her right eye (OD) 1.5 months duration, 10 months post cataract surgery. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) on the OD was fingers counting at 0.

Successful treatment approaches for tumoral calcinosis in children and young people: A condition of diverse pathogenesis.

Background: Ectopic calcification is inappropriate biomineralization of soft tissues occurring due to genetic or acquired causes of hyperphosphataemia and rarely in normophosphataemic individuals. Tumoral Calcinosis (TC) is a rare metabolic bone disorder commonly presenting in childhood and adolescence with periarticular extra-capsular calcinosis. Three subtypes of TC have been recognised: primary hyperphosphataemic familial TC (HFTC), primary normophosphataemic familial TC and secondary TC most commonly seen in chronic renal failure.

Diabetes control is worse in children and young people with type 1 diabetes requiring interpreter support.

Introduction: Language barriers can pose a significant hurdle to successfully educating children and young people with type 1 diabetes (CYPD) and their families, potentially influencing their glycaemic control.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study assessing HbA1c values at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months post-diagnosis in 41 CYPD requiring interpreter support (INT) and 100 age-, sex- and mode-of-therapy-matched CYPD not requiring interpreter support (CTR) in our multi-diverse tertiary diabetes centre. Data were captured between 2009-2016.
