Background: Several bone metabolic pathways are disrupted in diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to reduced bone mass. Increased fracture risk and elevated Dickkopf-1, which is an inhibitor of the Wnt/b-catenin bone metabolic pathway, have been documented in adult patients with type 2 DM. No relevant data exist on childhood type 1 DM (T1DM).Objective and hypotheses: We aimed at studying plasma Dickkopf-1 concentration in children and adolescents with T1DM an...

Objectives: To evaluate the skeletal profile of paediatric patients with cancer at diagnosis.Methods: Children diagnosed with cancer in our Oncology Centre were recruited during a fifteen-month period and underwent metabolic bone profile and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the time of diagnosis. Subsequently, they were divided in two subgroups, according to diagnosis; haematological malignancy vs solid tumour. For comparison, a group of 38 sex ...
