Lifelong cardiovascular care in Turner syndrome: two cases with review of literature
Endocr J. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1507/endocrj.EJ24-0038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular disease is one of the most important complications in girls and women with Turner syndrome (TS). Although the latest international guideline provides useful suggestions for the management of cardiovascular diseases in TS, some unknown cardiac conditions warrant physicians' attention and awareness. Here, we have reported two adult cases wherein significant cardiovascular diseases were detected during the transition period. The first case patient was diagnosed with aortic crank deformity and left subclavian artery aneurysm at ...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 528: Investigating Factors Associated with Migration and Cultural Adaptation in Relation to Change in Attitudes and Behavior towards Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) among Populations from FGM/C-Practicing Countries Living in Western Countries: A Scoping Review
The objective of this scoping review is to describe the effects of migration and cultural change on factors supporting FGM/C cessation in migrant communities. The review, from 2012 to 2023, included the following databases: Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, Swisscovery, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, and gray literature. Applying the PRISMA-ScR framework, we identified 2819 studies, with 17 meeting the inclusion criteria. The results revealed seven key factors shaping attitudes and behavior toward FGM/C abandonment: (1) legislation against FGM/C, (2) knowing that FGM/C is not a religious requirement, (3) enhancing education about the...

Three Patients of the Early Onset Epileptic Spasms without Hypsarrhythmia
We report three patients of epileptic spasms in patients with early onset, all of whom experienced other types of seizures.We detail three patients (two boys and one girl) of epileptic spasms without hypsarrhythmia, occurring between 1 and 3 months of age, with no abnormalities detected on neurometabolic analysis and brain magnetic resonance imaging. Long-term video-EEG monitoring revealed epileptic spasms with focal onset seizures in two patients, and epileptic spasms followed by generalized tonic-clonic seizures in one patient. Hypsarrhythmia was never observed in repeated EEG examinations. Two patients achieved seizure ...

Pediatric early-phase anorexia nervosa without hypokalemia exhibiting acute tubular injury: a case report
AbstractAnorexia nervosa can lead to kidney complications. Few studies reported kidney biopsy results in young adults, most of whom had chronic anorexia nervosa, and kidney biopsy findings in pediatric patients with early-phase anorexia nervosa are rarely reported. A 14-year-old girl who lost weight due to excessive exercise and reduced diet was admitted for kidney dysfunction. She was 147 cm tall and weighed 32.9 kg, with a body mass index of 15.2 kg/m2. She was 39 kg about a year earlier. Her heart rate and blood pressure were 30–40 beats/min and 108/68 mmHg, respectively. She had kidney dysfunction (estimated g...

New LC-MS/MS reference data for estradiol show mini-puberty in both sexes and typical pre-pubertal and pubertal patterns
CONCLUSIONS: Variability of RIs for E2 between studies illustrates importance of laboratory-specific RIs despite using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) reference method. In boys, the striking E2 peak during mini-puberty as well as high pubertal E2 without phenotypic estrogenization in regular male puberty indicate that the role of E2 in children, and especially in boys requires better functional understanding.PMID:38652605 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvae046 (Source: European Journal of Endocrinology)

Sports participation moderates the risk of family-specific negative life events on alcohol use among adolescents: Evidence from the longitudinal MyLife study
This study examined whether accumulated family-specific NLE in particular were associated with greater AU, and if so, whether SP moderated this association to reduce AU among high-NLE adolescents. We examined five annual assessments from a nationwide cohort of 3,422 Norwegian adolescents (13-15 year-olds; 55.3 % girls at baseline) who participated in the MyLife study. At each assessment, adolescents reported their AU on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Concise (AUDIT-C), the number of family-specific NLE in the past 12 months, SP days in the past 30 days, and multiple sociodemographic and individual-level char...

Optimization of post-activation potentiation in girls and women
ConclusionAfter both a 5 and 10 s CC, women have greater PAP compared with girls. The optimal CC duration for the knee extensors in women appears to be ~ 5-10 s, while CC durations between 5 and 30 s do not appear to affect levels of PAP in girls. (Source: European Journal of Applied Physiology)

Elevated serum irisin levels in boys with central precocious puberty independent of BMI
CONCLUSIONS: Serum irisin levels correlate with BMI and pubertal development. Given its limited sensitivity, irisin level can only be utilised as a supplementary rather than a standalone diagnostic indicator for CPP.PMID:38646987 | DOI:10.5603/ep.98509 (Source: Endokrynologia Polska)
