Studies show that the most severe resorption occurs in the first 3 months of healing, although dimensional changes can be observed after one year of tooth extraction, resulting in a reduction of approximately 50% in the buccal-lingual / palatal dimension of the alveolus [4]. The clinical consequences of these physiological tissue changes may ...

BACKGROUND We performed this study to investigate the influence of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy on radiographic indices of the spine using propensity-matched analysis. METHODS Patients with idiopathic short stature who had undergone both growth hormone therapy and whole-spine radiographs more than twice prior to 15 years of age were included in the patient group. Other pati...

Although advanced age or symptoms of aging are not among approved indications for growth hormone (GH) therapy, recombinant human GH (rhGH) and various GH-related products are aggressively promoted as anti-aging therapies. Well-controlled studies of the effects of rhGH treatment in endocrinologically normal elderly subjects report some improvements in body composition and a number of undesirable...

AIMS To evaluate the efficacy (height velocity (HV), change in height standard deviation score (delta HSDS)), and safety (glomerular filtration rate (GFR), incidence of rejection, and calcium and glucose metabolism) of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment after renal transplantation. DESIGN A two year randomised controlled trial. SUBJECTS Fifteen prepubertal and seven pubertal ...

human growth hormone (hgh) genomic sequence containing 5 exons and 4 introns was cloned in pcdna-3 and the constructed plasmid was subsequently used for transfection ofnlli-3t3 cell line using lipofection technique. expression of hgh in stably transfected cells was assayed using elisa. total rna was extracted from transfected cells and hgh cdna was amplified by rt-pcr using specific primers. th...

The objective of this study was to determine the ability of a single bout of resistance exercise alone or in combination with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) to stimulate myofibrillar protein synthesis (Ks) in hindlimb suspended (HLS) adult female rats. Plantar flexor muscles were stimulated with resistance exercise, consisting of 10 repetitions of ladder climbing on a 1 m grid (85 degr...

BACKGROUND Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is licensed for short stature associated with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), Turner syndrome (TS), Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), chronic renal insufficiency (CRI), short stature homeobox-containing gene deficiency (SHOX-D) and being born small for gestational age (SGA). OBJECTIVES To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness o...
