Normal values for morphological abnormalities in school children

Abnormalities in Normal Children

Screening for platelet abnormalities in normal school children in Kuala Lumpur.

The finding of a prolonged bleeding time in a patient whose platelet count is normal suggests some abnormality in the function of the platelets. This situation may be due to an inherent platelet defect or to the deficiency of a plasma factor necessary for some aspect of platelet function. Defects of platelet function are also seen in a wide range of disease states and may be caused by many diff...

The Phonemic Awareness Skills of Cochlear Implant Children and Children with Normal Hearing in Primary School

Objectives: Phonemic awareness skills have a significant impact on children speech and language. The purpose of this study was investigating the phonemic awareness skills of children with cochlear implant and normal hearing peers in primary school. Methods: phonemic awareness subscales of phonological awareness test were administered to 30 children with cochlear implantation at the first to ...

Normal values for cardiovascular magnetic resonance in adults and children

Morphological and functional parameters such as chamber size and function, aortic diameters and distensibility, flow and T1 and T2* relaxation time can be assessed and quantified by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Knowledge of normal values for quantitative CMR is crucial to interpretation of results and to distinguish normal from disease. In this review, we present normal reference va...

Normal values for inspiratory muscle function in children.

Assessment of inspiratory muscle function (IMF) is limited in children with neuromuscular disorders, because respiratory muscle tests are poorly standardized and valid normative data are unavailable. We investigated maximum inspiratory pressure after exhalation to residual volume (MIP), mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1) and time of inspiration during quiet breathing and derived inspiratory muscle...
