1Stunting, as defined by the World Health Organization, refers to children whose age-for-height is more than two standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards and has negative consequences for other domains of development, such as cognitive, language, and motor skills. ...
A second model (12) suggests that during growth inhibition there is decreased proliferation of growth plate stem cells, thus delaying senes- cence and preserving their potential for future growth. Firm supportive experimental data are inadequate for either of these hypotheses. Our results suggest a ...

healing occurs within an average of 11 weeks if the patient is adequately protected and activity level is minimized to decrease resistance activities.5As long as there is no evidence of plate or screw loosening, the patient may be
The lower leg was positioned vertically with a V-shaped steel holder just below the anterior tuberosity of the upper tibia, and the heel was pressed into a V-shaped metal hold- er, with the foot pressed flat on a floor plate. A pressure of 103 kPa (15 psi) was applied to the top ...

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are the central mediators of linear growth in fetal as well as postnatal life, with mitogenic and anti-apoptotic effects in various tissues including growth plate chondrocytes. IGF-1 mRNAs are detected in most fetal tissues; interestingly, the level of expre...
Rice bran contains essential nutrients, antioxidants, and bioactives with anti-inflammatory and diarrheal protective properties important for infants. This 6-month randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of heat-stabilized rice bran suppleme
