The Autors have examinated endocrine function in girls during puberal age. Have been showed datums relative to cultures effected on vaginal secrets withdrawn from little girls in prepuberal age. They have also studied polimicrobic vaginal flora related to sexual hormone levels. Have been controllated correlations between vaginal microbic status and cytohormonal response at different hormonal situation. The Doderlein presence is as much greater so higher is the oestrogen and progesterone (E/P) ratio, while the Doderlein bacillus isn't present when E/P ratio is lower. Perhaps in puberal age other factors than oestrogen and progesterone levels, could influence vaginal polymicrobic flora.

Assessment of Performance in Youth Soccer Players: Should We Consider the Maturation Status?

The influence of biological maturity status on talent identification and development in youth soccer has been debated extensively. Alternative methods have thus recently emerged to estimate maturity status, such as the Pubertal Development Scale (PDS), but their relationship with physical capabilities of young soccer players still needs to be determined. The present study investigated the relationships of different PDS-derived pubertal status measures, chronological age, and relative age with selected performance variables in youth soccer.

In epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMA), status epilepticus (SE) may occur during the onset phase, uncommonly in post-puberal patients. We report a post-puberal patient with EMA who presented SE with insidious onset and catamenial recurrence. She had a stormy epilepsy onset at 4 years, with tonic seizures, atypical absences, and myoclonic-atonic seizures, in the absence of SE.

Introduction: The high prevalence of obesity and thyroid diseases worldwide justifies di per se their simultaneous coexistence. In recent decades, there has been a parallel and significant rise in obesity and thyroid diseases in industrialised countries, although the underlying mechanisms are complex and not well known.
Material And Methods: The authors accomplished a comprehensive literature search of original articles concerning obesity and thyroid status.
Age-related differences in clinical and laboratory characteristics of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: Pre-puberal-onset SLE is prone to delayed diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the characteristics of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) in a Chinese health center, focusing on age groups: pre-pubertal (≤7 years), peri-pubertal (8-13 years), and adolescence (14-18 years).
- Out of 853 diagnosed patients, the majority were in peri-puberty (635), with notable differences in the male-to-female ratios and timing of diagnosis across age groups.
- Results show that younger patients tend to experience longer delays in diagnosis and have lower rates of renal involvement and leukopenia compared to those diagnosed in the peri-pubertal and adolescent groups.
Skin manifestations help identifying different phenotypes of paediatric SAPHO syndrome.
Semin Arthritis Rheum
December 2023
UOC Rheumatology and Autoinflammatory diseases, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa, Italy.
Objectives: to evaluate whether the heterogeneous skin manifestations might influence the disease presentation and outcome of a cohort of SAPHO children.
Methods: the clinical, serological, imaging and therapeutic data of 14 SAPHO patients, followed between 2001 and 2022 at the Unit for Autoinflammatory diseases at the Gaslini Hospital, were reviewed. According to their cutaneous manifestations, patients were divided into 2 groups: the acne-hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and the Palmo-Plantar Pustulosis (PPP) group.
