Extractions: About BBC Children in Need BBC Children in Need started in 1980, and has raised more than £325 million. Every penny has been used to improve the lives of British children who have experienced problems or hardships, such as abuse, serious illness and poverty. History The BBC Children in Need Appeal is the most important single event in the BBC calendar and the only occasion when the whole of the BBC joins together in support of a single project on TV, radio and online. The BBC's first broadcast appeal for children took place in 1927, in the form of a five-minute radio broadcast on Christmas Day. It raised about £1,143 which equates to about £27,150 by today's standards. The first televised appeal took place in 1955 and was called the Children's Hour Christmas Appeal, with Sooty and Harry Corbett fronting it. The Christmas Day Appeals continued on TV and radio right up until 1979, with stars such as Terry Hall, Eamonn Andrews, Leslie Crowther and Michael Aspel. During that time a total of £625,836 was raised. Terry Wogan first appeared during this five-minute appeal in 1978 and again in 1979. The appeal in 1980 was broadcast for the first time as a telethon. This event, hosted by Terry Wogan, Sue Lawley and Esther Rantzen, captured the public's imagination to such an extent that the amount raised increased dramatically to more than £1 million.

OBJECTIVETo emphasis the need for timely diagnosis of Alstrom syndrome. CASEWe report a case of late-detected Alstrom syndrome in a boy 15 1/2 years of age who was admitted because of poor wound healing and hyperglycemia. RESULTSDiagnosis was made and the patient's impaired glucose tolerance improved by diet. CONCLUSIONSRegular follow-ups are needed to recognize and possibly prevent late-appearing complications.
Extractions: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Overview of Rare Diseases Research Activities The mission of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is to conduct and support research on the reproductive, physiologic and behavioral processes that determine the health of individuals and populations. The Institute's programs are based on the concept that adult health and well-being are determined in part by episodes early in life and that human development continues throughout the life span. Diseases or conditions that interfere with healthy development are of concern to the Institute and thus, the NICHD supports research in the prevention, diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of many rare diseases and disorders. Recent Scientific Advances in Rare Diseases Research Familiar Hyperinsulinemia Familiar hyperinsulinemia, also known as nesidioblastosis, is characterized by unregulated insulin secretion in the neonatal period despite the presence of severe, life-threatening, hypoglycemia. NICHD-supported investigators have currently found two different mutations in the sulfonylurea receptor gene in individuals affected with this disorder. Mutational analyses will be undertaken on blood samples obtained from 50 affected individuals of various ethnic backgrounds and clinical symptoms. These studies will enable the investigators to establish the frequency of the gene mutations in a variety of ethnic groups and to correlate clinical status of patients with their genetic make-up. These investigations may help to predict which individuals will respond to medical therapy and which ones will require surgical intervention to resolve their severe hypoglycemia.
Extractions: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Overview of NICHD Rare Diseases Research Activities Recent Scientific Advances in Rare Diseases Research Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Clomiphene citrate (CC) is a drug successfully used to induce ovulation in women with PCOS; however, many women are resistant to the drug. To determine if hyperinsulinemia may be involved in the resistance to CC, metformin, an insulin-sensitizer, has been administered to CC-resistant women while they are being treated with CC. Seventy-five percent of the participants given metformin ovulated, compared to 27% given placebo. Furthermore, 55% given metformin conceived, compared to less than 10% given placebo. This study provides compelling evidence that hyperinsulinemia of PCOS is associated with resistance to CC and suggests a therapy for ovulation induction. PCOS symptoms have been noted to vary with racial and ethnic groups. Because the metabolic abnormalities may increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases, these differences are a health disparity issue that is worth pursuing. Due to higher levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in their blood, Hispanic women have a higher risk of developing blocked arteries than Caucasian women. Differences in serum lipids of Hispanic women with PCOS and weight-matched Hispanic controls have been demonstrated. The elevated levels of androgen of PCOS along with the higher level of lipids in Hispanic women may have an adverse effect on cardiovascular risk.
