conclusions this case highlights the fact that fhr and ghd may coexist, with possible masking effect of one on the other, thereby misleading the approach, posing large impacts on therapy, which has historically been a difficult challenge in fhr patients. introduction coincided familial hypophosphatemic rickets (fhr) and hypopituitarism is a rare condition. growth hormone deficiency (ghd) evalua...

one of the major obstacles of bt production as a biopesticide is its expensive bioprocess and fermentation. therefore, the objective of the present study was to optimize growth condition and develop a low-cost bioprocess for mass production of a native coleopteran-effective bacillus thuringiensis (bt) strain (kh4) based on agricultural wastes, at incubator and batch fermenter level. preliminary...

In fish, light (photoperiod, intensity and spectra) is main regulator in many physiological actions includinggrowth. We investigate the effect of light spectra on the somatic growth and growth-related gene expression in the rearing tiger puffer. Fish was reared under different light spectra (blue, green and red) for 8 weeks. Fish body weight and total length were promoted when reared under gree...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate 1) whether social housing condition, tumor size, and tumor growth rate alter responses to chemotherapy and 2) whether the timing of tumor cell injection or chemotherapy initiation (relative to housing condition formation) influences tumor growth rate or the efficacy of chemotherapy. METHODS Mice were reared individually (I) or in groups...

Intrauterine growth restriction is a condition fetus does not reach its growth potential and associated with perinatal mobility and mortality. Intrauterine growth restriction is caused by placental insufficiency, which determines cardiovascular abnormalities in the fetus. This condition, moreover, should prompt intensive antenatal surveillance of the fetus as well as follow-up of infants that h...
