Manejo de la hipertensión arterial en niños y adolescentes: recomendaciones de la Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión
2010
Resumen: La hipertensión en niños y adolescentes ha ido ganando terreno en la medicina cardiovascular, gracias a los avances producidos en distintas áreas de la investigación fisiopatológica y clínica. Estas guías nacen del consenso al que han llegado los especialistas en la detección y control de la hipertensión en niños y adolescentes. Por otra parte, dichas guías son un compendio de los datos científicos y la extensa experiencia clínica con la que se cuenta, y constituyen la información clínica más completa que los médicos, enfermeras y familiares deberían tener en cuenta a la hora de tomar decisiones. Estas guías, que hacen hincapié en la importancia de la hipertensión en niños y adoles…
A matter of fat: insulin resistance and oxidative stress
2012
Background Obesity is linked to insulin resistance (IR), which can lead to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Oxidative stress present in early obesity may favor the progression to comorbid conditions. Objective To examine the relationship between oxidative stress biomarkers and the severity of IR in a group of obese children. Methods Forty obese children with a body mass index (BMI) Z-score ≥ 2 were divided into two groups using the median obtained for the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR). Anthropometric parameters (including body fat composition by bioelectrical impedance) and biochemical parameters were assessed. The following biomarkers of oxidative stress were measured: malondialdeh…

Sonographische Darstellbarkeit und Größenbestimmung von Abdominalorganen bei gesunden Neugeborenen
1988
The determination of organ size is another important criterium in ultrasound examination. There are only few investigations in the neonatal group. Therefore in a prospective study the abdominal organs of 85 neonates were examined with a 7.5 MHz small part scanner. These organs were measured in standardized sections in order to establish normal values]
Congenital myopathy and epidermolysis bullosa due to PLEC variant
2021
Abstract We report on an adult Turkish patient with mild myopathy with a fiber-type disproportion and mitochondrial disorganization caused by genetic variants in the plectin gene (PLEC). Molecular genetic panel testing revealed two homozygous variants in PLEC (NM_000445.4): c.8306C>G (p.Pro2769Arg) and c.7506 + 5C>G (p. ?) that were classified as variants of unknown significance (class 3) following ACMG guidelines for variant classification in genetic diagnostics. A thorough reassessment of the patient revealed mild skin blistering (epidermolysis bullosa simplex, EBS). This illustrates the importance of deep phenotyping of neuromuscular patients.
