Publication Liver involvement in congenital hypopituitarism(Springer India, 2019-05-01) Altay, Derya; Eren, Erdal; EREN, ERDAL; Özkan, Tanju Başarır; Özgür, Taner; ÖZGÜR, TANER; Tarım, Ömer; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0001-5740-9729; 0000-0002-5322-5508; AAG-8381-2021; AAG-8416-2021; JPK-3909-2023ObjectiveCholestatic jaundice in early infancy is a complex diagnostic challenge. Cholestasis caused by endocrine disease is rare and poorly recognized. The aim of this paper is to report patients with liver dysfunctions resulting from hypopituitarism.MethodsSix patients with liver dysfunction diagnosed as hypopituitarism were studied and followed up atUludag University Faculty of Medicine.ResultsThe median age of the patients at first presentation was 2.5 mo. Three patients were diagnosed with congenital hypopituitarism at the first visit, and the other three were diagnosed during follow-up. Serum aminotransferase levels were very high in two patients and only moderately elevated in the others. Combined adrenal, thyroid, and growth hormone deficiencies were diagnosed in two patients, while remaining 4 patients had various combinations of adrenal, thyroid, and growth hormone deficiencies. Liver function abnormalities resolved between 10 d and 2 mo follow-up after hormone replacement therapy.ConclusionsAbnormal liver biochemical test results due to hormonal deficiencies in infants should be considered in the differential diagnosis by pediatricians. Hormone replacement therapy is the basis of treatment.Publication Genotype and phenotype heterogeneity in neonatal diabetes: A single centre experience in Turkey(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2021-03-01) Öngen, Yasemin Denkboy; Eren, Erdal; Demirbaş, Özgecan; Sobu, Elif; Ellard, Sian; De Franco, Elisa; Tarım, Ömer; DENKBOY ÖNGEN, YASEMİN; EREN, ERDAL; DEMİRBAŞ, ÖZGECAN; Sobu, Elif; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Endokrinolojisi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-5657-4260; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-6922-5203; 0000-0002-2037-7046; 0000-0002-5322-5508; KHZ-1491-2024 ; JPK-3909-2023; GQX-9760-2022 ; GSN-9730-2022; CCU-8073-2022Objective: Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) may be transient or permanent, and the majority is caused by genetic mutations. Early diagnosis is essential to select the patients who will respond to oral treatment. In this investigation, we aimed to present the phenotype and genotype of our patients with NDM and share our experience in a single tertiary center.Methods: A total of 16 NDM patients from 12 unrelated families are included in the study. The clinical presentation, age at diagnosis, perinatal and family history, consanguinity, gender, hemoglobin A1c, C-peptide, insulin, insulin autoantibodies, genetic mutations, and response to treatment are retrospectively evaluated.Results: The median age at diagnosis of diabetes was five months (4 days-18 months) although six patients with a confirmed genetic diagnosis were diagnosed >6 months. Three patients had KCNJ11 mutations, six had ABCC8 mutations, three had EIF2AK3 mutations, and one had a de novo INS mutation. All the permanent NDM patients with KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations were started on sulfonylurea treatment resulting in a significant increase in C-peptide level, better glycemic control, and discontinuation of insulin.Conclusion: Although NDM is defined as diabetes diagnosed during the first six months of life, and a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is more common between the ages of 6 and 24 months, in rare cases NDM may present as late as 12 or even 24 months of age. Molecular diagnosis in NDM is important for planning treatment and predicting prognosis. Therefore, genetic testing is essential in these patients.Publication Clinical and laboratory follow up of pediatric craniopharyngioma cases(Bursa Uludag Universitesi, 2020-12-01) Sobu, Elif; Eren, Erdal; Sevinir, Betul; Taşkapılıoğlu, M. Özgür; Tarim, Omer; EREN, ERDAL; Sevinir, Betul; SEVİNİR, BETÜL BERRİN; Tarım, Ömer; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniveristesi/Tıp Fakültesi; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-3232-7652; 0000-0001-5472-9065; 0000-0002-5322-5508; GSN-9730-2022; JPK-3909-2023; AAH-1570-2021INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings and follow up of endocrine status of pediatric craniopharyngioma cases.MATERIALS and METHODS: The patients diagnosed with craniopharyngioma between January 2010-December 2017 were included in this study. Demographic and clinical findings were retrospectively examined from medical records of Uludag University Medical Faculty Pediatric Endocinology Department. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software version 21.RESULTS: We identified a total of 28 patients with craniopharyngioma during this period. The age of the patients ranged from 60 to 207 months, with a median age of 138.5 months. Fifty-three percent (n=15) of cases were male and forty-seven percent (n=13) of the cases were female. The most common presenting complaints were headache, visual impairment, and short stature in decreasing order. Tumor size was greater than 3 cm in 71% (n: 20) of patients at the time of diagnosis. When the endocrine status of the patients were examined in the preoperative period, it was determined that 17% (n: 5) of the cases had growth hormone deficiency, 14% (n: 4) had hypothyroidism, 10% (n: 3) had cortisol deficiency, and 7.1% (n: 2) had diabetes insipidus. In the postoperative period, panhypopituitarism developed in 89.3% (n: 25) of the cases.CONCLUSIONS: Craniopharyngiomas are slow-growing tumors, the tumor is usually diagnosed late and reaches large sizes. Late diagnosis and large tumor size often lead to more serious endocrine losses. Failure to thrive and progressive weight gain are stimulating findings for early diagnosis of pituitary masses.Publication Telemedicine experiences at a pediatric endocrinology clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic(Springer, 2021-06-07) Denkboy Öngen, Yasemin; Eren, Erdal; Şahin, Kadriye Cansu; Buhur Pirimoğlu, Meltem; Sağlam, Halil; Tarim, Ömer; DENKBOY ÖNGEN, YASEMİN; EREN, ERDAL; ŞAHİN, KADRİYE CANSU; BUHUR PİRİMOĞLU, MELTEM; SAĞLAM, HALİL; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Çocuk Endokrinolojisi Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-6598-8262; 0000-0002-5657-4260; KHZ-1491-2024; JPK-3909-2023; GLN-8241-2022; CCU-8073-2022Background The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the routine follow-up of patients with chronic illnesses. In this study, we aim to share our experience of telemedicine in our pediatric endocrinology clinic during the pandemic. Methods We were able to continue caring for children with endocrine disorders using various communication methods such as e-mail and e-message. Results A total of 267 patients received telemedicine care over the course of 608 contacts. The number of hospital visits and physical contact was effectively reduced to help protect against the COVID-19 infection. The patients were supported in terms of receiving their prescriptions and patient education also continued. No complications were observed. Conclusion The advantages and disadvantages of telemedicine were discussed and consequently, we propose that telemedicine can be utilized to maintain and continue the care of children with endocrine disorders during and even after the pandemic. Further studies are needed to standardize this method for general use.Publication A neurological disease mimicking central hypothyroidism: MCT8 deficiency(Karger, 2018-01-01) Demirbaş, Özgeçan; Eren, Erdal; Tarım, Ömer; DEMİRBAŞ, ÖZGECAN; EREN, ERDAL; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Bölümü; 0000-0002-6922-5203; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-5322-5508; JPK-3909-2023; GQX-9760-2022; CCU-8073-2022Publication Nationwide hypophosphatemic rickets study(Karger, 2018-01-01) Şıklar, Zeynep; Turan, Serap; Bereket, Abdullah; Abacı, Ayhan; Baş, Firdevs; Demir, Korcan; Güran, Tülay; Akberzade, Azad; Bober, Ece; Özbek, Mehmet Nuri; Kara, Cengiz; Poyrazoğlu, Şükran; Aydın, Murat; Kardelen, Aslı; Tarım, Ömer; Eren, Erdal; Hatipoğlu, Nihal; Büyükınan, Muammer; Akyürek, Nesibe; Çetinkaya, Semra; Bayramoğlu, Elvan; Eklioğlu, Beray Selver; Uçaktürk, Ahmet; Abalı, Saygın; Göksen, Damla; Kor, Yılmaz; Ünal, Edip; Esen, İhsan; Yıldırım, Ruken; Akın, Onur; Çay, Atilla; Dilek, Emine; Kirel, Birgül; Anik, Ahmet; Çatlı, Gönül; Berberoğlu, Merih; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; EREN, ERDAL; 0000-0002-1684-1053; JPK-3909-2023; CCU-8073-2022Publication Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (psis) is not a rare cause of the congenital hypopituitarism(Karger, 2018-01-01) Eren, Erdal; Yazıcı, Zeynep; Demirbaş, Özgecan; Gülleroğlu, Nadide Başak; Tarım, Ömer; EREN, ERDAL; YAZICI, ZEYNEP; DEMİRBAŞ, ÖZGECAN; Gülleroğlu, Nadide Başak; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Endokrinoloji Bölümü; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Radyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-6922-5203; 0000-0002-5322-5508; AAI-2303-2021; JPK-3909-2023; GQX-9760-2022; EZQ-1350-2022; CCU-8073-2022Publication Turner syndrome and associated problems in Turkish children: A multicenter study(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2015-03-01) Yeşilkaya, Ediz; Bereket, Abdullah; Darendeliler, Feyza; Bas, Firdevs; Poyrazoğlu, Şükran; Aydın, Banu Kuçükkemre; Darcan, Sukran; Dündar, Bumin; Büyükınan, Muammer; Kara, Cengiz; Sarı, Erkan; Adal, Erdal; Akınciı Ayşehan; Atabek, Mehmet Emre; Demirel, Fatma; Celik, Nurullah; Ozkan, Behzat; Ozhan, Bayram; Orbak, Zerrin; Ersoy, Betul; Dogan, Murat; Atas, Ali; Turan, Serap; Goksen, Damla; Tarim, Omer; Yuksel, Bilgin; Ercan, Oya; Hatun, Sukru; Simsek, Enver; Okten, Aysenur; Abaci, Ayhan; Doneray, Hakan; Ozbek, Mehmet Nuri; Keskin, Mehmet; Onal, Hasan; Akyurek, Nesibe; Bulan, Kezban; Tepe, Derya; Emeksiz, Hamdi Cihan; Demir, Korcan; Kizilay, Deniz; Topaloglu, Ali Kemal; Eren, Erdal; Ozen, Samim; Abali, Saygin; Akin, Leyla; Eklioglu, Beray Selver; Kaba, Sultan; Anik, Ahmet; Bas, Serpil; Unuvar, Tolga; Saglam, Halil; Bolu, Semih; Ozgen, Tolga; Dogan, Durmus; Cakir, Esra Deniz; Sen, Yasar; Andiran, Nesibe; Cizmecioglu, Filiz; Evliyaoglu, Olcay; Karaguzel, Gulay; Pirgon, Ozgur; Catli, Gonul; Can, Hatice Dilek; Gurbuz, Fatih; Binay, Cigdem; Bas, Veysel Nijat; Fidanci, Kursat; Polat, Adem; Gul, Davut; Acikel, Cengizhan; Demirbilek, Huseyin; Cinaz, Peyami; Bondy, Carolyn; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; EREN, ERDAL; SAĞLAM, HALİL; Doğan, Durmuş; Çakır, Esra Deniz; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Endocrinoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0003-0710-5422; JHM-8761-2023; JPK-3909-2023; C-7392-2019; AID-3610-2022; GQO-9634-2022Objective: Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder caused by complete or partial X chromosome monosomy that manifests various clinical features depending on the karyotype and on the genetic background of affected girls. This study aimed to systematically investigate the key clinical features of TS in relationship to karyotype in a large pediatric Turkish patient population.Methods: Our retrospective study included 842 karyotype-proven TS patients aged 0-18 years who were evaluated in 35 different centers in Turkey in the years 2013-2014.Results: The most common karyotype was 45, X (50.7%), followed by 45, X/46, XX (10.8%), 46, X, i(Xq) (10.1%) and 45, X/46, X, i(Xq) (9.5%). Mean age at diagnosis was 10.2 +/- 4.4 years. The most common presenting complaints were short stature and delayed puberty. Among patients diagnosed before age one year, the ratio of karyotype 45, X was significantly higher than that of other karyotype groups. Cardiac defects (bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of the aorta and aortic stenosis) were the most common congenital anomalies, occurring in 25% of the TS cases. This was followed by urinary system anomalies (horseshoe kidney, double collector duct system and renal rotation) detected in 16.3%. Hashimoto's thyroiditis was found in 11.1% of patients, gastrointestinal abnormalities in 8.9%, ear nose and throat problems in 22.6%, dermatologic problems in 21.8% and osteoporosis in 15.3%. Learning difficulties and/or psychosocial problems were encountered in 39.1%. Insulin resistance and impaired fasting glucose were detected in 3.4% and 2.2%, respectively. Dyslipidemia prevalence was 11.4%.Conclusion: This comprehensive study systematically evaluated the largest group of karyotype-proven TS girls to date. The karyotype distribution, congenital anomaly and comorbidity profile closely parallel that from other countries and support the need for close medical surveillance of these complex patients throughout their lifespan.Publication Pediatric patients with pheochromocytoma: Experience of a tertiary health center(Wiley, 2015-10-01) Eren, Erdal; Sağlam, Halil; Çalışkan, Yusuf; Kiriştioğlu, İrfan; Tarım, Ömer; EREN, ERDAL; SAĞLAM, HALİL; Çalışkan, Yusuf; KIRIŞTIOĞLU, İRFAN; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Endokrinolojisi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0002-6598-8262; 0000-0002-5322-5508; JPK-3909-2023; C-7392-2019; GLN-8241-2022; JPO-3445-2023; ITE-9417-2023; CCU-8073-2022BackgroundThe aim of this retrospective study was to investigate pheochromocytoma (pheo), which is a rare endocrine tumor in the pediatric population.MethodsThe medical records of five children with pheo were studied. The age, gender, clinical presentation, family history, physical findings, coexisting pathology, laboratory evaluation, surgical treatment, and postoperative course were investigated.ResultsThe patients were four girls and one boy with a mean age of 13.2years (range, 9.57-15.95years). None of the patients had paroxysmal hypertension and one had normal blood pressure. No malign pheo was identified. Mean height and weight standard deviation scores (SDS), body mass index (BMI), and BMI SDS were -0.24, 0.04, 20.9kg/m(2), and 0.20 at the time of diagnosis, and 0.03, 0.43, 23.8kg/m(2) and 0.49 1year after operation, respectively. BMI increased significantly after operation. Three patients had normal epinephrine and metanephrine, but elevated norepinephrine and normetanephrine on 24h urine. Vanillylmandelic acid on 24h urine sample was elevated in all patients. Ultrasonography failed to visualize tumors in two patients with bilateral pheo. One patient had postoperative severe hypotension. Insulin resistance associated with severe acanthosis nigricans observed in one patient regressed postoperatively.ConclusionsPheo in children may present with different symptoms and findings. Decreased catecholamine in the postoperative period may lead to weight gain.Publication Growth curves for Turkish girls with Turner syndrome: Results of the Turkish Turner syndrome study group(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2015-04-21) Darendeliler, Feyza; Yeşilkaya, Ediz; Bereket, Abdullah; Baş, Firdevs; Bundak, Rüveyde; Sarı, Erkan; Aydın, Banu Küçükemre; Darcan, Şükran; Dündar, Bumin; Büyükinan, Muammer; Kara, Cengiz; Mazicioğlu, Mümtaz M.; Adal, Erdal; Akıncı, Ayşehan; Atabek, Mehmet Emre; Demirel, Fatma; Çelik, Nurullah; Özkan, Behzat; Özhan, Bayram; Orbak, Zerrin; Ersoy, Betül; Doğan, Murat; Ataş, Ali; Turan, Serap; Göksen, Damla; Tarım, Ömer; Yüksel, Bilgin; Ercan, Oya; Hatun, Sükrü; Şimşek, Enver; Ökten, Ayşenur; Abacı, Ayhan; Döneray, Hakan; Özbek, Mehmet Nuri; Keskin, Mehmet; Önal, Hasan; Akyürek, Nesibe; Bulan, Kezban; Tepe, Derya; Emeksiz, Hamdi Cihan; Demir, Korcan; Kızılay, Deniz; Topaloğlu, Ali Kemal; Eren, Erdal; Özen, Samim; Demirbilek, Hüseyin; Abalı, Saygın; Akın, Leyla; Eklioğlu, Beray Selver; Kaba, Sultan; Anık, Ahmet; Baş, Serpil; Ünüvar, Tolga; Sağlam, Halil; Bolu, Semih; Özgen, Tolga; Doğan, Durmuş; Çakır, Esra Deniz; Şen, Yaşar; Andiran, Nesibe; Çizmecioğlu, Filiz; Evliyaoğlu, Olcay; Karagüzel, Gülay; Pirgon, Özgür; Çatlı, Gönül; Can, Hatice Dilek; Gürbüz, Fatih; Binay, Çiğdem; Baş, Veysel Nijat; Sağlam, Celal; Gül, Davut; Polat, Adem; Açıkel, Cengizhan; Çınaz, Peyami; Can, Hatice Dilek; Doğan, Durmuş; Çakır, Esra Deniz; SAĞLAM, HALİL; EREN, ERDAL; TARIM, ÖMER FARUK; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Endokrinolojisi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-1684-1053; 0000-0003-0710-5422; 0000-0003-4664-7435; JHM-8761-2023; JPK-3909-2023; C-7392-2019; AID-3610-2022; GQO-9634-2022; IRJ-2200-2023Objective: Children with Turner syndrome (TS) have a specific growth pattern that is quite different from that of healthy children. Many countries have population-specific growth charts for TS. Considering national and ethnic differences, we undertook this multicenter collaborative study to construct growth charts and reference values for height, weight and body mass index (BMI) from 3 years of age to adulthood for spontaneous growth of Turkish girls with TS.Methods: Cross-sectional height and weight data of 842 patients with TS, younger than 18 years of age and before starting any therapy, were evaluated.Results: The data were processed to calculate the 3rd, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th and 97th percentile values for defined ages and to construct growth curves for height-for-age, weight-for-age and BMI-for-age of girls with TS. The growth pattern of TS girls in this series resembled the growth pattern of TS girls in other reports, but there were differences in height between our series and the others.Conclusion: This study provides disease-specific growth charts for Turkish girls with TS. These disease-specific national growth charts will serve to improve the evaluation of growth and its management with growth-promoting therapeutic agents in TS patients.
