A Comparison of Familial and Sporadic Type 1 Diabetes Among Young Patients.

Objective: To investigate natural course, treatment, and outcomes in familial versus sporadic type 1 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: In a population-based study, we compared patients with onset of type 1 diabetes before the age of 20 years who had a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes (familial diabetes) with patients with type 1 diabetes who had no first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes (sporadic diabetes) at diagnosis and over the first 10 treatment years, using multivariable regression and proportional hazards models. Patients were identified from the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV) between 1995 and 2018.

[Diagnostic imaging in cases of suspected child abuse--focus craniocerebral trauma divergent guidelines and resulting problems].

For the clinical diagnosis of non-accidental craniocerebral trauma in children there are different recommendations and guidelines, which are not completely consistent. Depending on the examiner, the focus may be on therapeutic relevance, minimization of the exposure to radiation or potential conclusions as to the course of events. Under certain circumstances it may be difficult for the responsible institution to deal with all three perspectives, as is shown by the presented case.
