We also reviewed our experience in 90 children with GH deficiency and 24 with Turner syndrome. We found no difference in the nevi count between control subje...
متن کاملGrowth hormone treatment in children with rheumatic disease, corticosteroid induced growth retardation, and osteopenia.
BACKGROUND In children with severe rheumatic disease (RD), treatment with corticosteroids (CS) is frequently needed and growth retardation and osteopenia may develop. A beneficial effect of human growth hormone (hGH) has been reported but mostly in trials without a control group. AIMS To study the effect of hGH on growth, bone mineral density (BMD), and body composition, taking the disease ac...
