The potential role of oxytocin and perinatal factors in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders - review of the literature.
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by: social and communication impairments, and by restricted repetitive behaviors. The aim of the present paper is to review abnormalities of oxytocin (OXT) and related congenital malformations in ASD. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed database up to 2016 for articles related to the pathomechanism of ASD, abnormalities of OXT and the OXT polymorphism in ASD. The pathomechanism of ASD has yet to be. The development of ASD is suggested to be related to abnormalities of the oxytocin-arginin-vasopressin system. Previous results suggest that OXT and arginine vasopressin (AVP) may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ASD.

Reset osmostat: a rare cause of hyponatraemia.
Neonatal hyponatraemia is common, and related to significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a preterm newborn (gestational age of 36 weeks) with hyponatraemia, and with a prenatal diagnosis of cleft lip and palate, with a normal fetal karyotype. On the seventh day of life, a biochemical evaluation for jaundice and mild signs of dehydration showed hyponatraemia of 124 mmol/L. Investigation showed normal adrenal and thyroid functions, plasma hyposmolality (258 mOsm/kg); high urinary sodium (73 mmol/L) and high urinary osmolality (165 mOsm/kg). Despite oral sodium supplementation and fludrocortisone treatment, sodium levels remained between 124 and 130 mmol/L. Cranial ultrasound, brain MRI and renal ultrasound were normal. The diagnosis of hyponatraemia was unpredicted and the investigation was suggestive of reset osmostat, a subtype of the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone, characterised by a subnormal threshold for antidiuretic hormone secretion.
