Title of the Study RANDOMIZED STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS ON GROWTH AND THE SAFETY OF THE TREATMENT WITH RECOMBINANT GROWTH HORMONE IN 1 TO 2-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN WITH GROWTH RETARDATION DUE TO CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE Investigator(s) Multicenter Coordinator: Dr. Fernando Santos Investigating Center(s) Multicenter Coordinating center: Hospital Central de Asturias, Oviedo Publications Study Peri...

The effect of retardation on dynamical mass generation in QED in two space dimensions at finite temperature is studied, in the imaginary time formalism. The photon polarization tensor is evaluated to leading order in 1/N (where N is the number of flavours), and simple approximate closed form expressions are found for the fully retarded longitudinal and transverse propagators, which have the cor...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the relationship between mental retardation and lifetime events in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). METHODS The data on mental retardation and ages of lifetime events (first walking, loss of ambulation, introductions of ventilator support and tube nutrition and death) were collected retrospectively, and the relationships between the factors we...

In this paper, a series of Biot theory-based analytical solutions are proposed to study the dynamic response viscoelastic two-phase porous medium subjected horizontal cyclic loading. To investigate effect material properties' depth (or confining-pressure) dependency, two types soil stiffness profiles adopted, along with constant Lame elastic and loss moduli depth: that linearly increasing nonli...

This study aims to obtain insights into the retardation mechanism of citric acid in an ettringite-based binder from ladle slag and gypsum. The hydration kinetics phase assemblage were experimentally investigated thermodynamically modelled. Additionally, effects on synthetic ettringite studied further understanding interaction between this organic ligand crystal. Experimental results reveal that...

The study reported here classified 9,660 newborn infants delivered at a maternal and child health center in Mexico City by length of gestation, presence or absence of growth retardation, and (in the case of growth-retarded infants) proportionate or disproportionate growth retardation in terms of the infants' weight and length. It was found that preterm infants (delivered before 38 weeks of gest...

Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS) is an inherited autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder with congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. We report a case of Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome with clinical profile (mental retardation, ichthyosis, spastic diplegia) and MRI findings such as seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). So this rare syndrome can be another differen...

This article analyzes the influence of the ignition retardation on the fuel consumption, the cumulative tailpipe hydrocarbon emissions, and the temperature inside the three-way catalytic converter in a gasoline direct injection engine operated under idling conditions. A dedicated cylinder-individual, model-based, multivariable controller was used in experiments in order to isolate the effect of...
