Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, the rising incidence of pediatric endocrine and metabolic diseases has drawn increased attention due to the prevalence of childhood obesity and diabetes. The possible important cause is the "modern" lifestyle that includes significant changes in diet and physical activity compared to the patterns practiced several decades ago. In addition to metabolic diseases, related endocrine diseases, including vitamin D deficiency and thyroid-gonad disorders, also contribute to poor clinical complications and difficulties regarding management. These diseases represent a huge burden for families and society, and constitute the core of pediatric endocrine disease. Moreover, disease heterogeneity also brings a considerable challenge for diagnosis and treatment. This forces us to develop a multidisciplinary approach and a complex strategy.
Given the complexity of this topic and its impact on growth and pubertal development, Medicina is launching a Special Issue entitled "Clinical Research in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Endocrinology", with the aim of providing a forum for recent advances in pediatric endocrine and metabolic diseases. We welcome all investigators in the field to submit their patient-oriented epidemiological research and clinical studies focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric endocrine and metabolic disease. Case reports, meta-analyses, and review articles are also welcome.
