Survey of Italian pediatricians’ perspectives and knowledge about neonatal screeningItalian Journal of Pediatrics - Tập 41 - Trang 1-4 - 2015
Alberto B. Burlina, Giovanni Corsello
The goal of newborn screening is early identification of babies with a high risk
for disorders that may not be clinically evident at birth, but have severe
consequences if untreated. New insight into inherited diseases and the ability
to test for numerous diseases using new technique such as tandem mass
spectrometry have made it practical to greatly expand the number of conditions
tested. The expa... hiện toàn bộ

Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and predictors of vitamin D status in Italian healthy adolescentsItalian Journal of Pediatrics - Tập 40 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Francesco Vierucci, Marta Del Pistoia, Margherita Fanos, Paola Erba, Giuseppe Saggese
Vitamin D plays an important role in health promotion during adolescence.
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are common in adolescents worldwide. Few
data on vitamin D status and risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in Italian
adolescents are currently available. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) and
parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were evaluated in 427 Italian healthy
adolescents (10.0-21.0 years)... hiện toàn bộ

Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the most common pediatric secondary
glomerular disease. This study aimed to investigate the significance of
glomerular fibrinogen (Fib) deposition in children with HSPN. Eighty-two
patients with HSPN were enrolled retrospectively at the Children’s Hospital of
Soochow University from January 2015 to March 2017. Patients were divided into
groups according... hiện toàn bộ

The term “humanization” indicates the process by which people try to make
something more human and civilized, more in line with what is believed to be the
human nature. The humanization of care is an important and not yet a
well-defined issue which includes a wide range of aspects related to the
approach to the patient and care modalities. In pediatrics, the humanization
concept is even vaguer due... hiện toàn bộ
Thyroid function test evolution in children with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is closely conditioned by the biochemical picture at diagnosisItalian Journal of Pediatrics - Tập 44 - Trang 1-6 - 2018

Aim of this commentary is to summarize the salient literature views on the
relationships between presentation and evolution patterns of thyroid function in
children with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). According to the most recent
reports, children with HT and subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) are more prone to
the risk of developing severe thyroid dysfunctions over time, if compared to
those presenti... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical and molecular analysis in mucopolysaccharidoses: what a paediatrician must knowItalian Journal of Pediatrics - Tập 44 - Trang 35-45 - 2018
Mirella Filocamo, Rosella Tomanin, Francesca Bertola, Amelia Morrone
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are rare inherited disorders caused by a deficit of
the lysosomal hydrolases involved in the degradation of mucopolysaccharides,
also known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). They are all monogenic defects,
transmitted in an autosomal recessive way, except for MPS type II which is
X-linked. The enzymatic deficit causes a pathologic accumulation of undegraded
or partially deg... hiện toàn bộ
