Model of normal prepubertal growth.
Growth over the short term is a highly complex non-linear process. Contrasting models of short term growth have been proposed which include periodic growth cycles versus abrupt growth spurts with intervening growth arrest ('saltation and stasis'). The variability of short term growth has been characterised from a study of 46 healthy prepubertal children measured three times a week over one acad...
متن کاملPrepubertal hypertrichosis: normal or abnormal?
The pattern of hair growth, morphology of the hair shafts, and the hair root state are described in four girls and two boys with prepubertal hypertrichosis. The exact nosology of this form of excessive hair growth is discussed in relation to hirsuties and the possibility of it representing an 'atavistic' trait.
متن کاملGrowth and metabolic consequences of growth hormone treatment in prepubertal short normal children.
Growth and the metabolic effects of growth hormone were monitored in a randomised, controlled group of 41 short, normal, prepubertal children. The treated group received daily injections of growth hormone as Genotropin (Kabi Pharmacia) 30 IU/m2/week. Fifteen children in the treated group (21 children) have completed three years of treatment, have grown significantly more than 14 (of 20) untreat...
متن کاملA boy with "transient" growth hormone deficiency in prepubertal stage despite normal growth hormone secretion in childhood and after puberty.
Transient growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is occasionally found in prepubertal individuals, and this phenomenon has been variously interpreted. Sex steroids enhance GH secretion; however, the cut-off values of provocative GH tests are not modified according to the physiological changes. Physiological changes in sex steroid levels are thought to cause the image of transient GHD. In addition, the...
متن کاملCharacterizations of Multivariate Normal-Poisson Model
‎Multivariate normal-Poisson model has been recently introduced as a special case of normal stable Tweedie models‎. ‎The model is composed of a univariate Poisson variable‎, ‎and the remaining variables given the Poisson one are independent Gaussian variables with variance the value of the Poisson component‎. ‎Two characterizations of this model are shown‎, ‎...
