OBJECTIVE
Given that the prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing in the United States, we tested the timely hypothesis that obesity hinders physical examination based localization of the cryptorchid testis.
METHODS
Body mass index and percentiles of weight for height and body mass index for
Prader-Willi syndrome is a genomic imprinting disorder, characterized by obesity, hyperphagia, mental retardation, short stature and hypogonadism. The presenting signs and symptoms depend upon the age at which the patient is seen. Here we report a case of Prader-Willi syndrome, who presented at 16
There are multiple genetic disorders with known or unknown etiology grouped under obesity syndromes. Inspite of having multisystem involvement and often having a characteristic presentation, the understanding of the genetic causes in the majority of these syndromes is still lacking. The common
BACKGROUND
Maternal gestational smoking, diabetes, alcohol drinking, and pre-pregnancy obesity are thought to increase the risk of cryptorchidism in newborn males, but the evidence is inconsistent.
METHODS
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on the association between
We assessed risk factors for cryptorchidism in a prospective hospital-based cohort study at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. We examined at birth 6,699 singleton male neonates who were delivered between October 1987 and October 1990. Follow-up examinations were undertaken at 3 months and 1
Obesity, mild intellectual disability, hypotonia, poor sucking, cryptorchidism in males, hypogonadism, and kyphoscoliosis are common features of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We report a case who had severe respiratory complications due to extreme obesity and kyphoscoliosis, which are important
OBJECTIVE
Penile adhesions with hidden penis and penile skin bridges are complications after neonatal circumcision that seem to develop more often in overweight children. They could possibly be avoided if there were neonatal parameters predicting circumcision complications. We hypothesized that
Children presenting with nonpalpable undescended testes are evaluated with diagnostic laparoscopy. The laparoscopic findings of blind-ending vessels and vas deferens are felt to be diagnostic for 'vanished' testes. We present a case of an overweight male in whom the testis was not palpable in the
BACKGROUND
First described in 1764, Spigelian hernias are rare. The patient profile is of an overweight, 50-year-old with associated respiratory disease. However we report the case of a four-month-old, with an associated hypospadias and cryptorchidism, where the testis was lying in a spigelian
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the current status of penis and testicular development in boys and the effects of overweight/obesity on their development in the Zhengzhou area of Henan Province.
METHODS
Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, penis length and testicular volume were measured in
BRWD3 has been described as a cause of X-linked intellectual disability, but relatively little is known about the specific phenotype. We report the largest BRWD3 patient series to date, comprising 17 males with 12 distinct null variants and 2 partial gene deletions. All patients presented with
About 2-3% of "essential" obesity in pediatric age is of endocrine or genetic origin (secondary obesity). The clinical picture of these forms is almost always characteristic; however, some patients affected by secondary obesity can present with an incomplete or atypical aspect. The aim of this
UNASSIGNED
Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital malformation in boys and is associated with low sperm count, infertility and testicular cancer. Unhealthy maternal lifestyle during pregnancy such as smoking, high prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) as well as alcohol and caffeine intake may
