... Abstract Considering the patient's transition from child to adolescent to adult and its psychological aspects in endocrinology and diabetology, it is necessary to recall the child's psycho-affective development when he enters adolescence. Indeed, adolescence appears paradigmatic of the “child...

... Abstract Adolescence and young adulthood are times of multiple developmental changes, including physiological, social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transformations. The adolescent or young adult living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes must navigate the vicissitudes of these developmental...

... Abstract Little is currently known about the efficacy of long-term follow-up during and after the transition from paediatric to adult health care services of adolescents and young adults with thyroid diseases, and/or for patients at risk of developing nodules and/or dysthyroidism due...

... Abstract New neurons are continuously formed in the adult hippocampus of the human, nonhuman primate, and rodent throughout life though rates of neurogenesis precipitously decline with age to near zero levels at the end of the natural life span. Since its discovery in the 1960s, a large number...

... Abstract The pattern of cancer seen in young people changes with increasing age, transitioning from childhood- to adult-type cancer in adolescence and the third decade. The risk factors, presentation and biology of cancer in young adults differ from those in the older adult population. Factors...

... ] showed that maintenance of adult crypt stem and progenitor cell proliferation continues to be dependent on Wnt/Tcf4 signaling. In addition, Wnt target genes Cyclin D1 [ 9 ] and cMyc [ 10 ] proved to be important for proliferation of undifferentiated cells in the crypt epithelium. Notch signaling has...

... mechanisms, the level of DNA damage itself, and possibly also on the fidelity of molecular mechanisms controlling the clearance of damaged cells from aging tissues. In this chapter, we review recent findings related to DNA damage and checkpoint responses in adult stem cells that were discussed at the 5th...

..., the level and activity are greatest during the fetal stage, and for a second group, the activity begins during fetal life, continues after birth and can be observed in adults. For a third group of enzymes, the activity can only be detected after birth, and the highest activity is found in children...

The criteria for identification of candidates are usually divided into three main categories: pediatric/adolescent, adult patients (both in the general population of type 1 diabetes and in specific settings), and pregnant women or women in the preconception period.

... the mutation rates of these two genes in Chinese familial FSGS patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of TRPC6 and ACTN4 mutations in Chinese adult-onset familial FSGS. Methods: 80 FSGS pedigrees with Chinese ancestry who were admitted to our hospital from September 1997 to January...

These observations point out the existence of various BMI patterns associated with adult obesity. Two main trajectories...

The greatest per decade increase occurred in Japan, ~4 cm from 1950 to 1960, and the smallest increase occurred in Sweden and Norway at ~0.3 cm/ decade between 1952 and 1985. Note that all of the final adult increase in stature...

This algorithm was developed using available clinical evidence, recognizing the inherent limitations of observational studies. It aims to provide a starting point for clinicians and future prospective studies. We also...
