Body conformation is the most direct production index, which can fully reflect pig growth status and closely related to critical economic traits. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on body traits in population of 1518 Duroc × (Landrace Yorkshire) commercial pigs. These included length (BL), height (BH), chest circumference (CC), abdominal (AC), waist (WC). Both m...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between chest circumference in infancy and rapid growth or obesity at 3 years of age. We conducted a retrospective observational study of 1353 children in Kumamoto, Japan. Data collected included chest circumference, head circumference, weight, and body mass index. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for chest...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to determine a potentially optimal body size index for adjusting the tube current in retrospective ECG-triggered helical 256-slice CT coronary angiography (CTCA) for individualized radiation dose control. METHODS Consecutive patients (n=102) with suspected coronary artery disease underwent retrospective ECG-triggered CTCA with a 256-slice CT scanner. Body mass index (BMI...

birth weight is an important indicator of child survival. appropriate and timely care of a newborn specially if he or she is born with low birth weight is important but this is difficult in developing countries since most of the deliveries are conducted at home where adequate facilities to weight a new born does not exist. this study was conducted to find out a surrogate which could efficiently...

A study was conducted in two selected sites (Anuradhapura and Puttlam districts) to phenotypic ally characterize various types of village chicken present in Sri Lanka. Qualitative traits such as characteristics of plumage, comb, shank, eye and earlobe, and body condition score were recorded with a full inventory of management conditions. Quantitative traits included body weight and linear morph...

BACKGROUND Low birthweight should be identified early, even in developing countries where birthweight cannot be easily measured due to the absence of scales and trained staff. This meta-analysis evaluated and compared the use of other anthropometric measurements at birth to predict low birthweight. METHODS All studies of medium to high quality (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studie...
