الوصف: Objectives Paucity of data from India on care of children with Type 1 diabetes in schools. Aims: To study assess the knowledge, attitude, practices and fear of Type 1 diabetes in school teachers and to assess the impact of an educational model on the fear of teachers and care of children in Type 1 DM at school hours. Methods A community based study, involving school teachers and the intervention being educating them about diabetes conducted. Data pertaining to basic demography, attitude of teachers towards diabetic children, Hypoglycemia fear factor survey- parent version with worries domain and preparedness of school was collected. An education program was conducted on diabetes care in children. Immediately and after three months, the proforma details and HFSP-W scores reassessed. Results Forty two teachers (mean age: 38.7±5.4; M:F ratio 2:40) participated in the study. Post intervention, a higher willingness to have the diabetic child in class (100 vs. 57.1%; p>0.05), better support in daily care (100 vs. 92%; p>0.05), participation in sports activities (100 vs. 7.1%; p Conclusion There is a significant element of fear in the minds of teachers towards hypoglycemia which improves with a structured education program.

الوصف: Objective We analyzed the impact of geographic distance from the clinic on adherence to recommended clinic visits and diabetes control among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) seen in a pediatric endocrinology clinic serving a rural region in eastern North Carolina. Methods We retrospectively included patients with T1D age ≤20 years seen in our clinic during 2017. Outcomes were tracked until June 2018. Distance from the clinic was determined according to the zone improvement plan (ZIP) code of patient address. Visit adherence was defined based on the number of attended visits during the study period, aiming for 1 every 3 months. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured at the first and last visits during the review period Results The analysis included 368 patients, of whom 218 (59%) completed at least 1 visit every 3 months. The median HbA1c was 9.1 (interquartile range [IQR]: 8.0, 10.3) at the initial visit, and 9.3 (IQR: 8.0, 11.1) at the final visit. Median distance from the clinic was 56 km (IQR: 35, 86). On multivariable logistic regression, greater distance from the clinic was associated with lower odds of visit adherence (odds ratio per 10 km: 0.93; 95% confidence interval: 0.87, 0.99; p=0.030). Neither distance to the clinic nor clinic visit adherence were associated with HbA1c. Conclusions Patients living further away from the clinic were less likely to adhere to the recommended visit schedule, but distance was not correlated with HbA1c levels. Further work is needed to assist families living far from the clinic with adhering to recommended visits.

الوصف: Objectives Diabetes is a serious disease, and the number of affected individuals with diabetes is considerably high. The aim of this study is the identification of NeuroD1 Ala45Thr polymorphism and its association with type 1 diabetes susceptibility in Iranian people. Methods Clinical and biochemical characteristics for 146 people (76 diabetics and 70 nondiabetics) were measured, such as fasting blood sugar, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, age, and weight in each individual. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique (MwoI restriction-enzyme) was used for genotyping of the NeuroD1 Ala45Thr polymorphism. Results In this study, the frequency of the A allele in diabetic patients in comparison with the healthy control group had a significantly higher percentage (p < 0.01), whereas diabetic patients had the AA genotype, approximately four times more than the healthy control group (p < 0.01). In addition, we observed that fasting blood sugar had a higher concentration in the AA genotype than in AG + GG genotypes (p < 0.01). Conclusions The A allele may be a risk factor for the expansion of type 1 diabetes in the Iranian population. However, the NeuroD1 Ala45Thr polymorphism and its role in type 1 diabetes in different populations are controversial.

الوصف: Background The objective of this study was to determine the demographic and clinical features of youth supported by member associations of the Federación Mexicana de Diabetes and the Life for a Child Program (LFAC). Methods An analysis of 2017 Annual Clinical Data Sheets of 306 subjects from five Mexican centers was performed. Results Type 1 diabetes (T1D) was diagnosed in 292 subjects; 54.6% were female, with six diagnosed aged 1c (HbA1c) levels for those with duration ≥6 months were 8.7/8.4% (72/68 mmol/mol) and were higher in adolescents vs. children. Elevated body mass index SD, triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL) and non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (≥130 mg/dL) were common: 7.6%, 11.0% and 12.7% (n = 288, 218 and 180, respectively). Serum creatinine levels were normal in all tested subjects (n = 194). Conclusions Youth with diabetes in less-resourced families in Mexico are achieving reasonable glycemia. Most T1D patients use a basal bolus insulin regimen and test blood glucose several times daily. Some subjects have adverse vascular risk factor profiles. Further attention is needed to prevent chronic complications. Monogenic diabetes is very likely in some youth, and genetic testing is indicated.

الوصف: Background There is limited information about cardiovascular complications among young adults (YA) with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who are transitioning from pediatric to adult care. We aimed to study the prevalence and associated factors of dyslipidemia (DLD) and statin treatment in these patients. Methods We recruited 129 YA with T1DM aged 15–25 years. In a cross-sectional analysis, the prevalence of DLD (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] ≥ 100 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] Results DLD was found in 64% of YA, predominantly increased LDL-C (34.9%). Higher mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was associated with DLD (p Conclusions The prevalence of DLD is high in YA with T1DM and is associated with poor glycemic control, and use of statin therapy in this high-risk population is low.

الوصف: Background X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), the most common peroxisomal disorder, is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene located on Xq28. X-ALD is characterized by a spectrum of different manifestations varying in patients and families. Methods Four pedigrees with X-ALD consisting of patients and healthy members were selected for investigation of ABCD1 gene mutations. The mutation analysis was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct sequencing of all exons. The identified mutations were investigated using bioinformatics tools to predict their effects on the protein product and also to compare the mutated sequence with close species. Results One previously known missense mutation (c.1978 C > T) and three novel mutations (c.1797dupT, c.879delC, c.1218 C > G) were identified in the ABCD1 gene, each in one family. Predicting the effects of the mutations on protein structure and function indicated the probable damaging effect for them with significant alterations in the protein structure. We found three novel mutations in the ABCD1 gene with damaging effects on its protein product and responsible for X-ALD.

الوصف: Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate work-family conflict (WFC) and work-family facilitation (WFF) of working mothers of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with those of working mothers of children under follow-up not requiring treatment and of healthy children, and to explore the impact of organizational resources and the characteristics of the child and his disease on this interface. Methods: The study included 157 working mothers: 50 mothers of children with T1D, 50 mothers of children on medical follow-up without chronic illness and 57 mothers of healthy children. The participants completed validated questionnaires including the WFC scale, WFF scale, organizational resources support scale, life and work satisfaction questionnaire, a background demographic questionnaire and a child health questionnaire. Mothers of children with T1D also completed a questionnaire relating to diabetes management. Results: Almost half of the mothers of children with T1D found it necessary to reduce their working hours or to change their workplace. This group also reported a significantly higher level of colleague support. There were no significant differences in WFC and WFF between mothers of children with T1D and controls. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the effect of raising a T1D child on the mother’s vocational behavior. Despite the additional burden, work is a source of enrichment for these mothers.

الوصف: Background: The objectives were to describe the frequency of clinical presentation at the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and to estimate the prevalence of T1DM among children and adolescents in the AL-Baha region, Saudi Arabia, aiming for early diagnosis of T1DM. Methods: The clinical and laboratory data of 471 children and adolescents who presented with T1DM and received medical care at an AL-Baha diabetic center during the period from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed based on the records. Results: The prevalence of T1DM in the AL-Baha region was 355 per 100,000 population in participants aged from 0 to 19 years. T1DM was more common among girls than boys (57.5% vs. 42.5%, respectively; p=0.3), and the female/male ratio was 1.36 in favor of girls. Hyperglycemic symptoms were the most frequent symptoms at presentation [59.2% vs. 40.8% with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)], and 37% of them presented with loss of weight. Most of the ketoacidosis was mild to moderate (80.2%), while only 19.8% of children had the severe type and DKA was more common (55.2%) among females. The mean age at diagnosis of T1DM was 8.2±3.5 years for all patients, and 8.3±3.9 and 8.9±3.6 years for boys and girls, respectively (p=0.06). Hyperglycemic symptoms were more common in spring (15.9%). Conclusions: The prevalence of type 1 diabetes in the AL-Baha region was 355 per 100,000 population, which is one of the highest reported prevalences in this age group. Hyperglycemic symptoms were the most encountered symptoms at the onset of the presentation of T1DM and this may help in early detection of diabetic symptoms by patients and physicians to avoid the more severe types of presentation.

الوصف: Background Hyperandrogenism with or without polycystic ovarian syndrome is seen in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), especially those with suboptimal control. Objective To assess the effect of metformin on hyperandrogenism and ovarian function in adolescents with T1D. Methods This prospective study included 28 T1D females showing signs of hyperandrogenism. History taking (detailed diabetes history and menstrual history) and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, body mass index [BMI], waist and hip circumference) were initially performed, and then the patients were assessed for the manifestations of hyperandrogenism (acne, hirsutism as well as pelvic ultrasound [U/S] for ovarian morphology). Biochemical evaluation for ovulation (progesterone assessment during the luteal phase), sex steroids (estradiol, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEAS] and androstenedione), prolactin, glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) and gonadotropin levels (follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) was done. Patients were subjected to 500 mg metformin twice daily orally for 1 year, and then the patients were re-evaluated for clinical and biochemical parameters. Results Metformin therapy resulted in a significant reduction in weight (p = 0.001), BMI (p = 0.002), acne (p = 0.008), hirsutism score (0.007), LH (p = 0.008), testosterone (p 1c (p = 0.068). Nausea and/or abdominal pain were the commonly reported side effects of metformin (64%). Conclusions Metformin as an insulin sensitizing agent improved the BMI and cycle regularity together with clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in T1D adolescent girls. However, it did not improve their glycemic control.

الوصف: Background: Inhibin B is a hormone produced by the Sertoli cells that can provide important information for the investigation of disorders of sex development (DSD) with 46,XY karyotype. The aim of this study is to compare two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays for dosage of serum inhibin B in patients with 46,XY DSD with normal testosterone secretion. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with 46,XY DSD and normal testosterone secretion (partial androgen insensitivity syndrome [PAIS] [n=8]; 5α-reductase deficiency [n=7] and idiopathic 46,XY DSD [n=14]) were included. Molecular analysis of the AR and SRD5A2 genes were performed in all patients and the NR5A1 gene analysis in the idiopathic group. Measurements of inhibin B were performed by two second-generation ELISA assays (Beckman-Coulter and AnshLabs). Assays were compared using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman method. Results: ICC was 0.915 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.828–0.959], however, a discrepancy was observed between trials, which is more evident among higher values when analyzed by the Bland-Altman method. Conclusions: It is recommended to perform the inhibin B measurement always using the same ELISA kit when several evaluations are required for a specific patient.
