1) Human growth hormone (HGH) has been given for one whole year or longer to 100 patients, aged 1·5 to 19 years, participating in the Medical Research Council Clinical Trial of HGH. Each patient was measured 3-monthly for a control year before treatment, and the majority for a control...
are the indispensable base on which thediagnosisandtreatmentof disorders of growth rest, for the clinical approach is a longitudinal one; and each child treated withhuman growth hormone, or with other hormones that affect growth, represents an attempt to alter an individual pattern of growth ...
Nine stunted children with end-stage renal disease (median age 5.8 years, median bone age 2.7 years) were treated with recombinant human growth hormone, 4 IU/m 2/day subcutaneously, for a period of 1 year. Median height velocity was increased from 4.4 cm/yr before therapy to 8.0 cm/yr ...
Five prepubertal children with previously untreated growth hormone deficiency were enrolled in this trial and treated with authentic recombinant human growth hormone hGH, 0.1 IU/Kg/day, subcutaneously, for one year. All of the children markedly increased their growth rate; the height velocity increased...

Several studies have shown that a variety of short children, who are not growth hormone deficient by these criteria, will demonstrate an increased growth rate with hGH treatment. A subpopulation of children with clinical features of GHD, delayed bone age and low somatomedin levels, have low ...
Wilkinson suspects that hormone deficiencies could be the root cause for many common symptoms attributed to PTSD, including sleep disturbances, irritability, depression, and anxiety. “These are mostly young men.
