    Abstract The risk of suffering from gonadal germ cell tumors (GCT) is increased in some patients with different sexual development (DSD), mainly in those with Y chromosome material. This risk, however, varies considerably depending on a multitude of factors that make the decision for prophylactic gonadectomy extremely difficult. In order to make informed recommendations on the convenience of this procedure in cases where there is potential for malignancy, this consensus guide evaluates the latest clinical evidence, which is generally low, and updates the existing knowledge in this field.

    Title translation Noonan syndrome: genetic and clinical update and treatment options.
    Abstract Noonan syndrome (NS) is a relatively common genetic condition characterised by short stature, congenital heart defects, and distinctive facial features. NS and other clinically overlapping conditions such as NS with multiple lentigines (formerly called LEOPARD syndrome), cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, or Costello syndrome, are caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins of the RAS-MAPKinases pathway. Because of this shared mechanism, these conditions have been collectively termed «RASopathies». Despite the recent advances in molecular genetics, nearly 20% of patients still lack a genetic cause, and diagnosis is still made mainly on clinical grounds. NS is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition, with variable expressivity and a changing phenotype with age, and affects multiple organs and systems. Therefore, it is essential that physicians involved in the care of these patients are familiarised with their manifestations and the management recommendations, including management of growth and development. Data on growth hormone treatment efficacy are sparse, and show a modest response in height gains, similar to that observed in Turner syndrome. The role of RAS/MAPK hyper-activation in the pathophysiology of this group of disorders offers a unique opportunity for the development of targeted approaches.

    Abstract Introduction and purpose: To examine the effect of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle power output (MPO) on bone mass of prepubertal and pubertal children using lean mass (LM) and percentage of fat mass (%FM) as mediator variables. The hypothesis was that both LM and %FM would be independent mediators of the relationships during the sexual maturation period.
    Methods: We analyzed 200 children (88 boys and 112 girls [11.5 ± 2.0 yr]). Body composition was analyzed by bone densitometry, and indirect calorimetry and cycle ergometer were used to calculate V˙O2peak (mL·kg·min) and MPO (W) during an incremental exercise test. Sample was divided by pubertal status.
    Results: In the prepubertal group, LM and %FM acted independently as mediators in the relationship between bone mass and CRF or MPO (22%-25% for LM and 37%-50% for %FM, respectively). In pubertal children, LM acted as mediator at 37%.
    Conclusions: Although the independent mediator role of LM and %FM in the associations between CRF or MPO and bone mass was present during the prepubertal stage, only LM remain its mediator role in these associations during the postpubertal period. Therefore, with growth and sexual maturation, the full effect of LM seems to increase, whereas the influence of %FM seems to disappear.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is a strong determinant for lung function decline and increased mortality. Insulin treatment of CFRD is reportedly beneficial for this situation. We report on the long-term impact of insulin treatment of CFRD on pulmonary function and nutritional status in a CF male patient since diagnosis of diabetes. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with CF at the age of 16. Two years later, he experienced a rapidly evolving decrease in pulmonary function, some months later criteria were met warranting lung transplantation. Concomitantly, he was diagnosed with CFRD and insulin therapy was started. Lung function (spirometry), nutritional status (body mass index) and metabolic control (HbA(1c)) were determined every 3 months. After the introduction of insulin treatment, pulmonary function and nutritional status progressively improved and good glycemic control was achieved. The significant and sustained improvement in pulmonary function allowed for the patient's withdrawal from the lung transplantation program within 4 months, a situation which has been maintained until now, 8 years later. The long follow-up of our patient documents the rapid and prolonged beneficial effect of proper metabolic control of CFRD on the respiratory deterioration in CF.

    Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and costs of FreeStyle Libre (FSL) glucose monitoring system for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Spain.Design Prospective, multicentre pre-post study.Setting Thirteen Spanish public hospitals recruited patients from January 2019 to March 2020, with a 12-month follow-up.Participants 156 patients were included.Primary and secondary outcome measures Primary: glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) change. Secondary: severe hypoglycaemic events (self-reported and clinical records), quality of life, diabetes treatment knowledge, treatment satisfaction, adverse events, adherence, sensor usage time and scans. Healthcare resource utilisation was assessed for cost analysis from the National Health System perspective, incorporating direct healthcare costs. Data analysis used mixed regression models with repeated measures. The intervention’s total cost was estimated by multiplying health resource usage with unit costs.Results In the whole sample, HbA1c increased significantly (0.32%; 95% CI 0.10% to 0.55%). In the subgroup with baseline HbA1c≥7.5% (n=88), there was a significant reduction at 3 months (−0.46%; 95% CI −0.69% to −0.23%), 6 months (−0.49%; 95% CI −0.73% to −0.25%) and 12 months (−0.43%; 95% CI −0.68% to –0.19%). Well-controlled patients had a significant 12-month worsening (0.32%; 95% CI 0.18% to 0.47%). Self-reported severe hypoglycaemia significantly decreased compared with the previous year for the whole sample (−0.37; 95% CI −0.62 to –0.11). Quality of life and diabetes treatment knowledge showed no significant differences, but satisfaction increased. Adolescents had lower sensor usage time and scans than children. Reduction in HbA1c was significantly associated with device adherence. No serious adverse effects were observed. Data suggest that use of FSL could reduce healthcare resource use (strips and lancets) and costs related to productivity loss.Conclusions The use of FSL in young patients with T1DM was associated ...

    Abstract Noonan syndrome (NS) and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) are well-defined entities. The association of both disorders is called neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome (NFNS), a disorder that has been related to mutations in the NF1 gene. Both NS and NFNS display phenotypic overlapping with LEOPARD syndrome (LS), and differential diagnosis between these two entities often represents a challenge for clinicians. We report on three patients (two brothers and a not-related patient) diagnosed as having NFNS. They fulfilled NF1 diagnostic criteria and had some features of NS. The three of them had hypertophic cardiomyopathy while neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, and unidentified bright objects on MRI were absent. PTPN11 gene assays revealed a T468M mutation, typical of LS. Thorough clinical examinations of the patients revealed multiple lentigines, which were considered to be freckling in the initial evaluation. We conclude that NF1 clinical criteria should be used with caution in patients with features of NS. Patients with hyperpigmented cutaneous spots associated with cardiac anomalies, even if fulfilling the minimal NF1 criteria for diagnosis, should be strongly considered for LS diagnosis.
