Weight loss-independent changes in human growth hormone during water-only fasting: a secondary evaluation of a randomized controlled trial.

Frontiers in endocrinology
INTRODUCTION: Water-only fasting for one day or more may provide health benefits independent of weight loss. Human growth hormone (HGH) may play a key role in multiple fasting-triggered mechanisms. Whether HGH changes during fasting are independent o...

Interpreting IGF-1 in children treated with recombinant growth hormone: challenges during early puberty.

Frontiers in endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: It can be challenging to determine the correct dosage of recombinant growth hormone (GH) in children with GH deficiency, leading to highly variable treatment responses. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a tool for monitoring GH treat...

Pituitary MRI Radiomics Improves Diagnostic Performance of Growth Hormone Deficiency in Children Short Stature: A Multicenter Radiomics Study.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop an efficient machine-learning model using pituitary MRI radiomics and clinical data to differentiate growth hormone deficiency (GHD) from idiopathic short stature (ISS), making the diagnostic process more acceptab...

Use of machine learning to identify patients at risk of sub-optimal adherence: study based on real-world data from 10,929 children using a connected auto-injector device.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to develop a machine learning model, using real-world data captured from a connected auto-injector device and from early indicators from the first 3 months of treatment, to predict sub-optimal adherence to recombinant human gr...

Digital technologies to improve the precision of paediatric growth disorder diagnosis and management.

Growth hormone & IGF research : official journal of the Growth Hormone Research Society and the International IGF Research Society
Paediatric disorders of impaired linear growth are challenging to manage, in part because of delays in the identification of pathological short stature and subsequent referral and diagnosis, the requirement for long-term therapy, and frequent poor ad...

Development and Validation of a Prediction Rule for Growth Hormone Deficiency Without Need for Pharmacological Stimulation Tests in Children With Risk Factors.

Frontiers in endocrinology
INTRODUCTION: Practice guidelines cannot recommend establishing a diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) without performing growth hormone stimulation tests (GHST) in children with risk factors, due to the lack of sufficient evidence.

Important Tools for Use by Pediatric Endocrinologists in the Assessment of Short Stature.

Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
Assessment and management of children with growth failure has improved greatly over recent years. However, there remains a strong potential for further improvements by using novel digital techniques. A panel of experts discussed developments in digit...

Quality of Life in Adolescent Boys with Idiopathic Short Stature: Positive Impact of Growth Hormone and Aromatase Inhibitors.

Hormone research in paediatrics
BACKGROUND: The combination of growth hormone (GH) and aromatase inhibitors (AI) improves linear growth in severely short adolescent boys; however, the effects of this intervention on quality of life (QoL) are unknown. This study assesses whether GH,...

Identification of candidate serum biomarkers of childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency using SWATH-MS and feature selection.

Journal of proteomics
UNLABELLED: A typical clinical manifestation of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a short stature resulting from delayed growth, but GHD affects bone health, cardiovascular function and metabolic profile and therefore quality of life. Although early...
