    Abstract Context: We hypothesize that impaired glucocorticoid sensitivity (GC sensitivity) plays a role in the development of premature adrenarche (PA) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) by increasing androgen synthesis.
    Objective: To study glucocorticoid sensitivity in vitro in subjects with PA and PCOS.
    Patients and methods: Fourteen subjects (10 girls, 4 boys, 6.9 ± 0.6 years) with PA; 27 subjects with PCOS (17 ± 2.5 years) and 31 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. All subjects and controls underwent GC sensitivity analysis in vitro using a fluorescein labeled-dexamethasone (F-DEX) assay. A GC sensitivity index (GCSI) was calculated as area under the curve of the F-DEX assay results. Subjects were classified as GC resistant if the GCSI ≤ 264 and GC sensitive if the GCSI ≥ 386.
    Results: In the PA group, 8 of 14 subjects were resistant with GCSI of 179.7 ± 39.9, 4 were within the normal range with GCSI of 299.6 ± 27.9, and 2 had increased GC sensitivity with GCSI of 423.5 ± 47.9. In the PCOS group, 18 of 27 subjects were GC-resistant with GCSI of 180.9 ± 58.2, 8 were within the normal range with GCSI of 310.7 ± 26.4, and 1 had increased GCSI of 395.4. In the PCOS GC-resistant subgroup, cortisol was higher compared with PCOS with normal GCSI (
    Conclusion: GC resistance was found in more than 50% of patients with PCOS and PA. The findings strongly suggest that GC resistance is associated with states of PA and PCOS.

    Abstract Introduction: The known markers of insulin resistance in obese children are well studied. However, they require serial measurements and complicated calculations. The objective is to study IGFBP-1 and its relation with other known risk measures.
    Materials and methods: The study included 98 New York City school students of diverse ethnic/racial backgrounds (57 males and 41 females), 11-15 years of age. Subjects were enrolled in a cross-sectional study, and anthropometric measures were collected. They underwent fasting intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT), and glucose, insulin, lipids, IGFBP-1, adiponectin and inflammatory markers were collected.
    Results: The subjects were stratified into 3 groups based upon the BMI Z-score. Out of all the subjects, 65.3% were in the group with a BMI Z-score <1 SDS, 16.3% subjects were in the group with a BMI Z-score of 1 to 2 SDS, and 18.4% of the subjects were in the group with a BMI Z-score of more than 2 SDS. The group with a BMI Z-score of more than 2 SDS had increased waist circumference (WC), body fat, increased fasting insulin, and triglycerides (TG). This group had decreased levels of adiponectin and HDL and low IGFBP-1 as compared to the group with BMI <1 SDS. The group with a BMI Z-score of 1 to 2 SDS had a decreased level of IGFBP-1 as compared to the group with a BMI Z-score less than 1 SDS. IGFBP-1 inversely correlated with age, WC, BMI, body fat, TG, and insulin levels. IGFBP-1 positively correlated with adiponectin and HDL levels.
    Conclusion: IGFBP-1 in children can identify the presence of insulin resistance in the group with BMI 1 to 2 SDS, even before the known markers of insulin resistance such as elevated triglycerides and even before decreased HDL and adiponectin levels are identified.

    Abstract Background: Short stature in children represents a heterogeneous group with different etiologies. Primary Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF - 1) deficiency in short stature can present with normal or elevated growth hormone (GH) production. Currently there is no model that can reliably predict response to recombinant (r)GH therapy and/or rIGF - 1 therapy in children with non - GH deficient short stature.
    Hypothesis: Baseline Insulin like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP - 3) along with ∆ IGF - 1 in the first 3 months of GH therapy level can be a marker of growth response to the rGH and/or rIGF - 1 therapy in children with non - growth hormone deficiency short stature.
    Objectives: To study the relationship between baseline IGFBP - 3 and IGF - 1 levels and the response to rGH and rIGF - 1 therapy in children with short stature, normal GH secretion and low IGF - 1 SDS.
    Methods: 43 children, age 9.07 ± 2.75 years with height -2.72 ± 0.7 SD and baseline IGF - 1 of -2.76 ± 0.58 SD, who passed the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulation test were included in a retrospective chart review. They were treated with rGH therapy with a mean dose of 0.46 ± 0.1 mg/kg/week. Growth velocity (GV), IGF - 1 and IGFBP - 3 levels were done at 3 and 6 months of therapy. Subjects with poor response to rGH after 6 months of therapy were switched to rIGF - 1 therapy at 0.24 mg/kg/day for the next 6 months. Subjects were divided according to their growth rate into responders to rGH (N = 23); non - responders to rGH, responders to rIGF - 1 (N = 14) and non - responders to rGH and rIGF-1 (N = 6).
    Results: There was no correlation between GV and peak GH level at GHRH test. Growth velocity positively correlated with ΔIGF - 1 SD among subjects treated with rGH therapy. Height SD positively correlated with IGFBP - 3 SD. Baseline IGFBP - 3 also inversely correlated with GH peak during GHRH test.
    Conclusions: In subjects with short stature and low IGF - 1 level, baseline IGFBP - 3 levels can predict the growth response to rGH and/or rIGF - 1 therapy.

    Abstract Purpose: Congenital hypopituitarism usually occurs sporadically. In most patients, the etiology remains unknown.
    Methods: We studied 13 children with sporadic congenital hypopituitarism. Children with non-endocrine, non-familial idiopathic short stature (NFSS) (
    Results: First, we assessed the frequency of rare, predicted-pathogenic variants in 42 genes previously reported to be associated with pituitary gland development. The average number of variants per individual was greater in probands with congenital hypopituitarism than those with NFSS (1.1 vs. 0.21, mean variants/proband,
    Conclusion: Our findings provide evidence that the etiology of sporadic congenital hypopituitarism has a major genetic component but may be infrequently monogenic with full penetrance, suggesting a more complex etiology.

    Abstract HIV associated insulin resistance, lipodistrophy and cardiometabolic syndrome have been extensively studied and continue to be the scope of much research. There is compelling evidence that both the HIV itself and the therapeutical regimes are major contributors to all of these associated comorbidities. HIV has increasingly been recognized as a disease of accelerated aging, manifested by increased progression of vascular disease and cellular markers of aging. The antiretroviral medication can increase insulin resistance and cause lipotoxocity and HIV-associated lipodystrophy leading to cardiovascular pathology. In this article we review the pathogenesis, management, and prevention of the long-term complications of HIV and its therapies, including cardiovascular disease, lipodystrophy, and insulin resistance along with the growing focus on biomarkers to predict development of end-organ disease. Through a focused literature search we review the established evidence, the developing research about the treatment strategies in treated HIV infection as well as identify potential areas for future research.

    Abstract Background: Very few studies to date have analyzed the reasons why some people do not use real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) continuously, especially given its positive glycemic outcomes, or choose not to wear it at all, even after learning about its benefits.
    Methods: A questionnaire was designed to assess real-life use of and issues surrounding RT-CGM. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and duration of sensor use were also obtained from the patients' charts.
    Results: Fifty-eight subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), average age 15.0 ± 4.8 years, T1DM duration 5.7 ± 3.8 years, HbA1c 8.8 ± 2.1%, 50% with RT-CGM, were included in the analysis. Hemoglobin A1c was lower with increased RT-CGM use. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring was ordered to improve control. Users liked the continuous data. The most disliked part was pain and discomfort. Occasional users described RT-CGM as annoying, a hassle, and interfering with their lives. Reasons for discontinuing RT-CGM included problematic equipment and inaccuracy (64%), intrusion in life (36%), and insurance issues (29%). Twenty-one percent of nonusers reported RT-CGM to be inconvenient or a hassle or just did not want it. Fifty-two percent of subjects continue to use RT-CGM despite reported problems.
    Conclusion: Real-time continuous glucose monitoring is a beneficial tool for improving glycemic control, and many use it despite reported problems and hassles with current devices. However, this technology has not been wholeheartedly embraced by many individuals with T1DM, especially in youngsters, because of issues mentioned here. Based on the findings of this study, it is hoped that improvements will be made to RT-CGM technology so that more people with diabetes will embrace this beneficial tool.
