Permanent primary congenital hypothyroidism (CH) can be caused by abnormal thyroid differentiation (athyreosis), migration (ectopy), or function (leading to goiter). Goiters follow an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, whereas ectopy and athyreosis are considered as a single sporadic entity with female preponderance. On the other hand, high prevalence extrathyroidal malformations has been reported in CH, but without linking specific defects types CH. basis TSH screening, 273...
Abstract Morbidity and mortality rates in patients with autosomal recessive, congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 4 (CGL4), an ultra‐rare disorder, remain unclear. We report on 30 females 16 males from 10 countries biallelic null variants CAVIN1 gene (mean age, 12 years; range, 2 months to 41 years). Hypertriglyceridemia was seen 79% (34/43), hepatic steatosis 82% (27/33) but diabetes mellitus only 21% (8/44). Myopathy elevated serum creatine kinase levels (346–3325 IU/L) affected all...
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the main genetic cause of autism and intellectual deficiency resulting absence Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP). Clinical picture characterized by cognitive impairment associated with a broad spectrum psychiatric comorbidities including disorders attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders. Some these have been lipid abnormalities lower cholesterol levels. Since lipids are important for neuronal development, we aim to investigate profile French Canadian-FXS...
Background: Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood with a worldwide incidence that increasing by 3–5% per year. The type 2 diabetes, traditionally viewed as an adult disease, at alarming rates children, paralleling rise obesity. As increase accurate population-based assessment disease burden important for those implementing strategies health services delivery. Health administrative data are powerful tool can be used to track burden, use, and outcomes. Case...
Summary Previously, we showed that nearly 70% of children followed in our sickle cell disease (SCD) clinic were vitamin D‐ deficient and had low intake with poor use supplements. We compared the change serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], safety clinical impact two supplementation regimens SCD. Children (5–17 years, all genotypes) randomized to a single bolus 3 (300 000 IU; n = 18) or placebo ( 20). All received prescription for daily 1 IU . Serum 25(OH)D calcium, urinary calcium/creatinine...
Abstract Hypoglycaemia is a well-known side effect of Propranolol. We described the case child presenting severe and recurrent Propranolol-induced hypoglycaemia. Those episodes were not related to prolonged fasting associated with only mild ketosis. Thus, therapy β blockers may aggravate classical ketotic hypoglycaemia but also interfere glucose metabolism.
Abstract The assessment of growth during infancy and childhood is an essential component paediatric medicine, as atypical may point to the existence underlying health condition. To reduce morbidity, it vital that treatment for disorders provided in a timely fashion. However, although there are guidelines regarding referral criteria short stature Europe USA, no such Canada. address this, series consultations workshops with paediatricians, endocrinologists, family physicians nurses were held,...
Le lien entre la recherche et pratique est central en enseignement. Or on critique souvent acquisition des langues secondes de manquer d’implications claires pour pratique. On sait cependant que le terrain fondamental si l’on veut optimiser choix du matériel approprié classe (Haukås, 2016). La présente étude expose donc les résultats préliminaires premières phases d’un vaste projet proposant un aller-retour se penchant sur l’impact formatif capsules microapprentissage offertes complément à...
