Abstract
Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia and is associated with serious complications such as foramen magnum stenosis (FMS). This case report describes an infant with achondroplasia who presented with a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), secondary to significant FMS and myelocompression. A 2-month-old boy with prenatally diagnosed achondroplasia was referred due to disordered breathing and altered consciousness. On admission, apathy, hypotonus, and hypothermia with typical features of achondroplasia were noticed. Laboratory investigations revealed severe hyponatremia and hypochloridaemia with normal glucose and urea levels. The diagnosis of SIADH was made based on low serum osmolality in the presence of high urine osmolality, along with an elevated copeptin level. An emergency computerized tomography showed a high-grade stenosis at the cranio-cervical junction; subsequent magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated myelocompression. The patient underwent decompression surgery the next day; serum osmolality increased after the operation. Spontaneous breathing after extubation was sufficient whereas tetraplegia persisted despite intensive physiotherapy. Clinicians should be aware of SIADH as a presenting sign of FMS in children with achondroplasia. Further discussion is warranted regarding improving parental education and timing of screening recommendations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical characteristics of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) associated with nasal and paranasal malignant tumors. METHODS Patients with locally advanced or recurrence/metastatic malignant tumors of the nasal and paranasal sinuses were included. The SIADH was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria. The clinical characteristics of SIADH patients were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Six patients (6/188, 3.2%) met the diagnostic criteria of SIADH, including four olfactory neuroblastoma (4/26, 15.4%), one neuroendocrine carcinoma (1/9, 11.1%), and one squamous cell carcinoma (1/63, 1.6%). Five patients (83.3%) had severe hyponatremia; however, the hyponatremia could be improved by fluid restriction or tolvaptan. Three patients' SIADH were recovered during the chemotherapy and the other three were recovered after the surgery. CONCLUSION The incidence of SIADH associated with nasal and paranasal malignant tumors is relatively more common in olfactory neuroblastoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma. The hyponatremia caused by SIADH may be corrected by fluid restriction or tolvaptan, and the SIADH may be recovered through anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Perinatal asphyxia is one of the three most important causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Therapeutic hypothermia represents the standard treatment for infants with moderate-severe perinatal asphyxia, resulting in reduction in the mortality and major neurodevelopmental disability. So far, data in the literature focusing on the endocrine aspects of both asphyxia and hypothermia treatment at birth are scanty, and many aspects are still debated. Aim of this narrative review is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the short- and long-term effects of perinatal asphyxia and of hypothermia treatment on the endocrine system, thus providing suggestions for improving the management of asphyxiated children. Results Involvement of the endocrine system (especially glucose and electrolyte disturbances, adrenal hemorrhage, non-thyroidal illness syndrome) can occur in a variable percentage of subjects with perinatal asphyxia, potentially affecting mortality as well as neurological outcome. Hypothermia may also affect endocrine homeostasis, leading to a decreased incidence of hypocalcemia and an increased risk of dilutional hyponatremia and hypercalcemia. Conclusions Metabolic abnormalities in the context of perinatal asphyxia are important modifiable factors that may be associated with a worse outcome. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the possible occurrence of endocrine complication, in order to establish appropriate screening protocols and allow timely treatment.

Abstract
This literature review covers the pathophysiological features of water and sodium exchange in newborns. The main mechanisms regulating fluid and electrolyte balance in newborns are poorly studied. The volume and composition of the extracellular fluid are provided by the functional activity of the kidneys under the control of the neuroendocrine system. The antidiuretic hormone plays the main role in the regulation of water excretion by the kidneys. The volume of intracellular fluid depends on the passive water transport with the participation of aquaporins. Lability of water and electrolyte metabolism in newborns may be accompanied by hyponatremia. For various pathological conditions in the neonatal period, certain types of hyponatremias are characteristic. Correction of hyponatremia should be carried out taking into account its pathophysiological type. Hyponatremia is a common complication associated with severe neonatal brain damage. Hyponatremia contributes to brain damage as an independent factor. The study of indicators of water and electrolyte balance in the neonatal period has an important prognostic value for early detection of damage to the central nervous system.

Abstract
Kidney tubules are responsible for the preservation of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis via passive and active mechanisms. These physiological processes can be disrupted by inherited or acquired aetiologies. The net result is a tubulopathy. It is important to make a prompt and accurate diagnosis of tubulopathies in children and young adults. This allows timely and appropriate management, including disease-specific therapies, and avoids complications such as growth failure. Tubulopathies can present with a variety of non-specific clinical features which can be diagnostically challenging. In this review, we build from this common anatomical and physiological understanding to present a tangible appreciation of tubulopathies as they are likely to be clinically encountered among affected children and young adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyponatremia is an independent predictor of poor prognosis, including increased mortality and readmission, in COPD patients. Identifying modifiable etiologies of hyponatremia may help reduce adverse events in patients with AECOPD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the risk factors and underlying etiologies of hyponatremia in AECOPD patients. METHODS A total of 586 AECOPD patients were enrolled in this multicenter cross-sectional study. Finally, 323 had normonatremia, and 90 had hyponatremia. Demographics, underlying diseases, comorbidities, symptoms, and laboratory data were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select potential risk factors, which were substituted into binary logistic regression to identify independent risk factors. Nomogram was built to visualize and validate binary logistics regression model. RESULTS Nine potential hyponatremia-associated variables were selected by LASSO regression. Subsequently, a binary logistic regression model identified that smoking status, rate of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), anion gap (AG), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and serum magnesium (Mg2+) were independent variables of hyponatremia in AECOPD patients. The AUC of ROC curve of nomogram was 0.756. The DCA curve revealed that the nomogram could yielded more clinical benefits if the threshold was between 10% and 52%. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our results showed that smoking status, CAP, AG, ESR, and serum Mg2+ were independently associated with hyponatremia in AECOPD patients. Then, these findings indicate that pneumonia, metabolic acidosis, and hypomagnesemia were the underlying etiologies of hyponatremia in AECOPD patients. However, their internal connections need further exploration.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. One of the less studied clinical manifestations is Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. We present a single case of COVID-19 pneumonia-associated SIADH in a 71-year-old male with a history of alcohol use disorder. This case highlights the importance of full diagnostic workup of the underlying cause of hyponatremia to avoid significant morbidity.

Abstract
Optimal hydration is required for all physiologic functions and cognition. Children, especially younger ones, are particularly susceptible to dehydration, given their physiological specificities, in particular, their renal immaturity and relatively large skin surface in early life, but also their dependence on adults and their greater propensity to develop digestive diseases leading to fluid losses. Mild dehydration consequences are dominated by their impact on cognitive functions, whereas more severe dehydration may endanger the health outcome. Studies on this subject in children are scarce; in particular, the long-term consequence on renal function remains questionable. This review considers how children's water intake including fluid intake and water content of food, are worrying. The findings show that, worldwide, most children do not meet adequate water intake recommendations. The main problems likely to explain insufficient water intake are access to safe water, availability of drinking water at school, and healthy-hydration education, which are all points that need to be improved within health policy.

Abstract
A 9-year-old girl with remarkable hyponatremia was diagnosed with SIADH that was likely secondary to varicella. Under appropriate treatment, her serum sodium returned to the normal level. There was no evidence of hyponatremia at a 3-month follow-up. We propose that medical professionals need to consider the existence of that SIADH when treating patients with varicella who present with severe hyponatremia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water and electrolyte disorders commonly encountered in children post-surgery involving hypothalamus and posterior pituitary, are central diabetes insipidus, syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone and cerebral salt wasting disease. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate management of such cases may lead to worsened neurological outcomes with a high mortality rate. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report the case of a 7-year-old girl who underwent surgical resection of a craniopharyngioma, following which she initially developed central diabetes insipidus. However, later on in the course of her illness she developed symptomatic hyponatremia with natriuresis which was diagnosed to be due to cerebral salt wasting disease. This combination of central diabetes insipidus and cerebral salt wasting syndrome is a rare occurrence and poses a diagnostic challenge. Diagnosis and management can be even more difficult when these conditions precede or coexist with each other. CONCLUSION In such cases development of hyponatremia should always prompt consideration of unusual causes like cerebral salt wasting disease in addition to the classically described syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone. Hence, a thorough knowledge of these disorders along with intensive monitoring of fluid and sodium status is critical for timely diagnosis and management of these patients.

Abstract
Background The principles for maintenance intravenous fluid prescription in children were developed in the 1950s. These guidelines based on the use of hypotonic solutions have been challenged regularly for they seem to be associated with an increased risk of hospital-acquired hyponatremia. Case presentation We report the case of a 4-week-old Caucasian child admitted for acute bronchiolitis who received hypotonic maintenance fluids and developed severe hyponatremia (94 mmol/L) with hyponatremic encephalopathy. Conclusion This clinical situation can serve as a reminder of the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding the use of intravenous fluids that promote the use of isotonic fluids in children.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP)-mediated osmoregulatory disorders, such as diabetes insipidus (DI) and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) are common in the differential diagnosis for children with hypo- and hypernatremia and require timely recognition and treatment. DI is caused by a failure to concentrate urine secondary to impaired production of or response to AVP, resulting in hypernatremia. Newer methods of diagnosing DI include measuring copeptin levels; copeptin is AVP's chaperone protein and serves as a surrogate biomarker of AVP secretion. Intraoperative copeptin levels may also help predict the risk for developing DI after neurosurgical procedures. Copeptin levels hold diagnostic promise in other pediatric conditions, too. Recently, expanded genotype and phenotype correlations in inherited DI disorders have been described and may better predict the clinical course in affected children and infants. Similarly, newer formulations of synthetic AVP may improve pediatric DI treatment. In contrast to DI, SIADH, characterized by inappropriate AVP secretion, commonly leads to severe hyponatremia. Contemporary methods aid clinicians in distinguishing SIADH from other hyponatremic conditions, particularly cerebral salt wasting. Further research on the efficacy of therapies for pediatric SIADH is needed, although some adult treatments hold promise for pediatrics. Lastly, expansion of home point-of-care sodium testing may transform management of SIADH and DI in children. In this article, we review recent developments in the understanding of pathophysiology, diagnostic workup, and treatment of better outcomes and quality of life for children with these challenging disorders.

Abstract
Hyponatremia is the commonest electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients and is associated with poor outcome. Hyponatremia is categorized on the basis of serum sodium into severe (< 120 mEq/L), moderate (120-129 mEq/L) and mild (130-134mEq/L) groups. Serum sodium has an important role in maintaining serum osmolality, which is maintained by the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secreted from the posterior pituitary, and natriuretic peptides such as atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide. These peptides act on kidney tubules via the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. Hyponatremia <120mEq/L or a rapid decline in serum sodium can result in neurological manifestations, ranging from confusion to coma and seizure. Cerebral salt wasting (CSW) and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of ADH (SIADH) are important causes of hyponatremia in tuberculosis meningitis (TBM). CSW is more common than SIADH. The differentiation between CSW and SIADH is important because treatment of one may be detrimental for the other; evidence of hypovolemia in CSW and euvolemia or hypervolemia in SIADH is used for differentiation. In addition, evidence of dehydration, polyuria, negative fluid balance as assessed by intake output chart, weight loss, laboratory evidence and sometimes central venous pressure are helpful in the diagnosis of these disorders. Volume contraction in CSW may be more protracted than hyponatremia and may contribute to border zone infarctions in TBM. Hyponatremia should be promptly and carefully treated by saline and oral salt, while 3% saline should be used in severe hyponatremia with coma and seizure. In refractory patients with hyponatremia, fludrocortisone helps in early normalization of serum sodium without affecting polyuria or functional outcome. In SIADH, V2 receptor antagonist conivaptan or tolvaptan may be used if the patient is not responding to fluid restriction. Fluid restriction in SIADH has not been found to be beneficial in TBM and should be avoided.

Abstract
Copeptin, a glycosylated peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal region of the precursor of arginine8 vasopressin (AVP), is co-secreted with AVP in equimolar amounts. Elevated plasma AVP modulates gastric motility so we investigated whether copeptin had a similar effect. Copeptin (10-9-10-7M), and AVP (10-12-10-5M), were evaluated for their ability to modulate spontaneous and electrically-evoked (EFS) contractions of human proximal and distal gastric circular muscle in vitro. Similar experiments were performed on the mouse stomach and we re-examined the published effect of copeptin on the mouse aorta. In the presence of tetrodotoxin (10-6M), atropine (10-6M) and L-NAME (3 × 10-4M), human proximal and distal stomach muscle contracted spontaneously and rhythmically as did mouse distal stomach. Copeptin (10-9-10-7M), had no effect on baseline muscle tone or myogenic spontaneous contractions of either human or mouse stomach. However, AVP concentration-dependently increased tone, amplitude and frequency of contractions in both regions of human stomach with similar potency (pEC50 9.0-9.5; n = 4) and threshold concentration (10-11-10-10M). AVP was similarly active in the mouse stomach. EFS-evoked cholinergic contractions (human and mouse) were unaffected by both peptides EFS-evoked relaxations of mouse stomach were unaffected by copeptin. In sub-maximally contracted mouse aorta the elevated tone was unaffected by copeptin (10-7M) (cf. previously published study) but was reduced by carbachol (10-6M) and sodium nitroprusside (10-3M). We conclude that in contrast to AVP, copeptin over a concentration range reported in the plasma has no direct ability to modulate the motility of the human and mouse stomach.

Abstract
The differential diagnosis of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and cerebral salt-wasting syndrome (CSWS) in patients with neurological disorders has been a perplexing clinical controversy. The purpose of this review is to summarize the characteristics and risk factors of patients with different types of neurological disorders complicated by hyponatremia (HN) and review various methods to distinguish SIADH from CSWS. Common neurological disorders with high rates of HN include subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), traumatic brain injuries, stroke, cerebral tumors, central nervous system (CNS) infections, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which have their own characteristics. Extracellular volume (ECV) status of patients is a key point to differentiate SIADH and CSWS, and a comprehensive assessment of relevant ECV indicators may be useful in differentiating these two syndromes. Besides, instead of monitoring the urinary sodium excretion, more attention should be paid to the total mass balance, including Na+, K+, Cl-, and extracellular fluid. Furthermore, the dynamic detection of fractional excretions (FE) of urate before and after correction of HN and a short-term infusion of isotonic saline solution may be useful in identifying the etiology of HN. As for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal prohormone of BNP (NT-proBNP), more prospective studies and strong evidence are needed to determine whether there is a pertinent and clear difference between SIADH and CSWS.
