Assessing the Diagnostic Performance of Automated Pituitary Gland Volume Measurement for Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Departments of Radiology, Eulji University Hospital, Eulji University College of Medicine, 95 Dunsanseo-ro, Seo-gu, Daejeon 35233, Republic of Korea.

It is known that the pituitary gland volume (PV) in idiopathic central precocious puberty (IPP) is significantly higher than in healthy children. However, most PV measurements rely on manual quantitative methods, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive. This study aimed to automatically measure the PV of patients with IPP using artificial intelligence to accurately quantify the correlation between IPP and PV, and to improve the efficiency of diagnosing IPP.

Childhood obesity and central precocious puberty.

Zhong Nan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban

July 2024

Second Ward of Endocrinology Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou 450000.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is an endocrine disorder in children caused by the early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA), leading to elevated gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers the development of gonads and the secretion of sex hormones. This eventually results in the development of internal and external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics. CPP significantly affects the physical and mental health of children and may increase the risk of various adult diseases.

Background: Trans girls may initiate early puberty blockers once puberty has started in order to prevent the development of masculine secondary sexual characteristics. Depending on how early the puberty blockers are administered, voice may have reached a certain degree of development and have acquired typically male acoustic and phonetic parameters, which can cause discomfort and affect the adolescent's quality of life.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to (1) determine if there are differences in discomfort with the self-perceiver voice according to the moment of puberty block (PB), and (2) find a relation between vocal discomfort and variables such a voice phonetic/acoustic characteristics and self-perception of voice.

Autoimmune hypothyroidism is categorized into Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and atrophic thyroiditis (AT). Although a consensus exists among Japanese endocrinologists that pediatric AT is associated with severe hypothyroidism, the question remains whether AT and HT are separate conditions. To investigate the clinical characteristics of pediatric AT, we conducted a comprehensive literature review using PubMed and ICHUSHI, a local database.
