juanita hernandez is an 18-month-old hispanic, the younger of two children. juanita was at the 25th percentile for height and weight at birth, but both measurements fell to just below the 5th percentile during her first year. for the last 6 months however, her rate of growth has been normal and her height and weight curves lie parallel to just below the 5th percentile. juanita appears quite sma...

background and objective: failure to thrive (ftt) is a sign that describes a particular problem rather than a diagnosis and explain growth failure or more advanced failure to gain weight appropriately. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and type of chromosomal abnormalities in patients presented with ftt. materials and method: one hundred ftt cases with clinical impression o...

Background: Failure to thrive (FTT) is defined as delaying or stopping a child’s growth and mightlead more serious complications, such reduced learning ability, mental physical disability, mortality. Objectives: The present study aimed assess the prevalence of retardation in children under 5 years age its risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted on all 2038 admitted Ali Ebne Ab...

There is an increasing number of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems that are time-sensitive and resource-aware. From healthcare to building and even home/office automation, it is now common to find systems combining interactive and sensing multimedia traffic with relatively simple sensors and actuators (door locks, presence detectors, RFIDs, HVAC, information panels, etc.). Many of these are to...

The clinical evaluation of failure to thrive (FTT) includes a thorough history and physical examination; observation of parent–child interactions; observation and documentation of the child’s feeding patterns; and a home visit by an appropriately trained health care professional (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: C). Further diagnostic testing should be performed as indicated by positive fi ndi...

Failure to thrive (FTT) is a state of overall decline. Patients often present with weight loss, poor appetite, malnutrition, and decreased physical functioning. The etiology is multifactorial including chronic diseases, functional impairments, and acute illnesses. Evaluation for reversible causes is paramount, and treatment is aimed at maintaining or improving functional status. We present a ca...

Being comfortable with the fabrics that we are wearing is one of elements satisfaction in life. Hence, fabric comfort needs to be quantified order understand factors make it comfortable. However, evaluation often related ambiguity and subjectivity which hinder potential applied widely clothing industry. Therefore, this study aims measure indices by incorporating use a relatively new equipment m...

Traditional design approaches to safety-critical distributed systems, due to fault-tolerance reasons, have typically considered static cyclic table-based traffic scheduling. However, there is a growing demand for flexibility and integration, mainly to improve efficiency in the use of system resources, with the network playing a central role to support such properties. This calls for dynamic on-...
