Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to note that “Current Trends in Pediatric Endocrinology: A PES Perspective” meeting was successfully held in İstanbul on 13-14 May 2016 with 72 participants. This is the first Current Trends meeting done with the North American Pediatric Endocrine Society. The aim was to discuss interesting topics with the well-known specialists.
Via this interactive scientific event, we aimed to build a bridge between Pediatric Endocrine Society and our national society in terms of educational collaboration. The meeting included presentations and discussions regarding current advances on pseudohypoparathyrodism, disorders of sex development, bionic pancreas, next generation sequencing, long-acting growth hormone, genetics of growth disorders, Turner syndrome, long-acting GnRH analogs, genetic disorders of adrenal development, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Additionally, important news from PES and ENDO meetings in 2016 were announced and six unique case presentations were made.
We would like to thank all speakers and participants who contributed to this influential scientific meeting for making this educational event possible.
