Pediatric Myxedema Due to Autoimmune Hypothyroidism
In children, hypothyroidism usually presents non-specific symptoms; symptoms can emerge gradually, compromising a timely diagnosis. We report the case of a 13-year-old male, who was admitted to the hospital due to swelling of the torso and neck. Besides these symptoms, the child was healthy, except for a significant growth delay. Ultrasound evaluation and blood tests led to the diagnosis of myxedema secondary to severe hypothyroidism, which was d…
Oestrogenic Activity in Girls with Signs of Precocious Puberty as Exposure Biomarker to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
The relationship between endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure and Precocious Puberty (PP) was investigated in this pilot study, involving girls with signs of PP (P) and pre-pubertal girls (C). Risk factors for PP were assessed through questionnaires, while 17β-oestradiol (E2) levels and oestrogenic activity were quantified on sera. The oestrogenic activity, expressed as E2 equivalent concentration (EEQ), was applied as EDC exposure biomar…
Multidisciplinary Approach for Hypothalamic Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is delineated by an inexorable weight gain in subjects with hypothalamic disorder (congenital or acquired). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary approach on weight trend and metabolic outcome in children and adolescents with hypothalamic disease who were overweight or obese. Thirteen patients (aged 8.1-16.1 years) received a personalized diet, accelerometer-based activity monitor…
