Introduction: Skeletal dysplasias, also termed as osteochondrodysplasias, are a large heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by abnormalities of bone or cartilage growth or texture. They occur due to genetic mutations and their phenotype continues to evolve throughout life. Reduced growth is a common feature. Objective: To evaluate and discuss data about growth and growth hormone axis i...

Researchers often want to examine 2 comorbid conditions simultaneously. One strategy to do so is through the use of parallel latent growth curve modeling (LGCM). This statistical technique allows for the simultaneous evaluation of 2 disorders to determine the explanations and predictors of change over time. Additionally, a piecewise model can help identify whether there are more than 2 growth p...

Intrauterine and postnatal growth disturbances are major clinical features of imprinting disorders, a molecularly defined group congenital syndromes caused by molecular alterations affecting parentally imprinted genes. These genes expressed monoallelically in parent-of-origin manner, they have an impact on human development. In fact, several with exclusive expression from the paternal allele be...

Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can have alterations in bone metabolism and skeletal growth, as well as damage to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can generate extra and/or intraoral alterations, resulting in craniofacial disorders. Our goal is to carry out a review of the literature on orofacial alterations in patients with JIA. Among the orofacial disorders in patien...

results the mean age of the children was 64.27 ± 9.3 months. the prevalence of sleep disorders was 36.25%. sleep disorders were significantly associated with age, height, body mass index, residence of children, father’s occupation, mother’s diseases, father’s drug abuse, and parents’ marital status (p < 0.05). conclusions sleep disorders in children threaten growth and development, and are dang...
