Objectives: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A (PHP1A) encompasses the association of resistance to multiple hormones, features of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy and decreased Gsα activity. Little is known about the early signs of PHP1A, with a delay in diagnosis. We report two PHP1A cases and their clinical and biochemical findings during a 20-year follow-up.

Introduction: ß-pancreatic cells are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication; this could lead to infection-related diabetes or precipitate the onset of type 1 diabetes. This study aimed to determine the severity at diagnosis, analyzing clinical and epidemiological features at debut in children under 16 years of age in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational multicenter study was carried out in 7 hospitals of the public health network located in the south of our community.

Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion, presenting among other systemic complications, diabetes mellitus. The appearance of motor clumsiness, with running and jumping difficulties in a 6-year-old boy prompted the genetic study of Friedreich's ataxia, confirming his diagnosis. After diagnosis, it was evaluated by Pediatric Cardiology, detecting the presence of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and by Pediatric Endocrinology, due to overweight.

Introduction: To examine the triglyceride/glucose index (TyG) as an insulin resistance marker in obese children and adolescents and its relation to clinical and biochemical parameters, body composition and lifestyle.

Patients And Method: Sixty patients aged 7-16 years of age were enrolled. Anthropometric variables were recorded, together with pubertal stage, blood pressure and body composition assessed by bioimpedance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the triglyceride/glucose index (TyG) as a marker of insulin resistance in obese children and adolescents, focusing on its relationship with clinical parameters, body composition, and lifestyle.
  • In a sample of 60 participants aged 7-16, the TyG index was calculated and correlated with other markers of insulin resistance, revealing significant findings related to pubertal stage and lifestyle factors like screen time.
  • Results indicate the TyG index is a promising tool for identifying insulin resistance, suggesting that increasing physical activity and reducing screen time could benefit prepubertal and pubertal children.

Background: Rehospitalization of children born prematurely (referred to as preterm children) caused by severe respiratory infections is common. Most studies have focused on respiratory syncytial virus infection. We designed a study to determine the virological and clinical characteristics of severe respiratory infections of children born early (<32 weeks) and moderate preterm (32 to 36 weeks), and compared them with full term (FT; ≥37 weeks) children who were subsequently admitted with respiratory illness.
