Appraisal of testicular volumes: volumes matching ultrasound values referenced to stages of genital development
Testicular volumes obtained with orchidometers or external linear measurements in the scrotum (centimeter ruler or calipers) grossly over-estimate ultrasound volumes, have much variability and may not be accur... (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

Change in BMI after radioactive iodine ablation for graves disease
We aimed to determine the extent of post-treatment weight gain that occurs in pediatric patients in the first year following radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for Graves disease (GD) and its relationship to cli... (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

Deferring surgical treatment of ambiguous genitalia into adolescence in girls with 21-hydroxylase deficiency: a feasibility study
Genital surgery in Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) has been an area of debate over the past 20  years. Emerging scientific evidence in the late 1990s defied the then routine practice to surgically align geni... (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

Normative penile anthropometry in term newborns in Kumasi, Ghana: a cross-sectional prospective study
Genital measurements are a useful adjunct in the early detection of various endocrine conditions including hypopituitarism and disorders of sexual differentiation. Standards for genital sizes have been publish... (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

Short stature and hypoparathyroidism in a child with Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 2 due to a novel mutation in FAM111A gene
Hypoparathyroidism in children is a heterogeneous group with diverse genetic etiologies. To aid clinicians in the investigation and management of children with hypoparathyroidism, we describe the phenotype of ... (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

Prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of physical activity levels among South African adults in Cape Town and Mount Frere communities in 2008-2009
Conclusions: To prevent chronic diseases among South Africans, attention should be paid to specific policies and interventions aimed at promoting PA among young adults in rural and urban setting, and across the social-economic diversity. (Source: International Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology)

The detailed 3D multi-loop aggregate/rosette chromatin architecture and functional dynamic organization of the human and mouse genomes
Conclusions: This architecture, its dynamics, and accessibility, balance stability and flexibility ensuring genome integrity and variation enabling gene expression/regulation by self-organization of (in)active units already in proximity. Our results agree with the heuristics of the field and allow “ architectural sequencing ” at a genome mechanics level to understand the inseparable systems genomic properties.

Dynamic properties of independent chromatin domains measured by correlation spectroscopy in living cells
Conclusions: Based on the domain structure and dynamics measurements, we propose a loop-cluster model for chromatin domains. It suggests that the regulation of chromatin accessibility for soluble factors displays a significantly stronger dependence on factor concentration than search processes within a static network.

Cross-reactive LTP sensitization in food-dependent exercise-induced urticaria/anaphylaxis: a pilot study of a component-resolved and in vitro depletion approach
Conclusions: In vitro immunodepletion might be a useful diagnostic tool in food dependent exercise induced urticaria/anaphylaxis with panallergen sensitization, particularly for identifying the culprit allergen and guiding dietary elimination recommendations.
