Exogenous factors affecting growth of Aspergillus species

Factors affecting bone growth.

Bone growth and development are products of the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal bone growth depends on the growth plate. The growth plate has 5 different zones-each with a different functional role-and is the final target organ for longitudinal growth. Bone length is affected by several systemic, local, and mechanical factors. All these regulation systems...

Factors affecting growth of FEV1.

There is an increasing awareness that also growth in FEV1 may be of importance to development of chronic obstructive lung disease in later life. This paper reviews current knowledge on factors in foetal and childhood life that may reduce lung growth. Passive smoking as well as malnutrition in foetal life is related to impaired lung function in later life. Birth weight is a risk factor to lung g...

Genetic Factors Affecting Facial Growth

Factors affecting antimicrobial susceptibility of Fusobacterium species.

Fifteen clinical isolates of Fusobacterium species were studied to determine their quality of growth on five agar media, their susceptibility to penicillin, cephalothin, cefoxitin, and cefotaxime, the inoculum effect, and the presence of L forms and beta-lactamase. Wilkins-Chalgren agar supported confluent growth best, but Fusobacterium nucleatum exhibited poor growth on all agar media. Most is...
