    Sammanfattning : Down syndrome (DS) is associated with psychomotor retardation, short stature and endocrine dysfunction. Statural growth is a well-known indicator of health. The growth in DS differs markedly from that of other children and there is a 20 cm reduction of final height as compared to target height. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Auxological tools for following growth in extreme short stature and for evaluating growth promoting interventions

    Författare :Andrea Merker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Growth charts are inevitable tools for following children in clinical practice and also when evaluating growth promoting therapy. Growth is a concern especially for families to children of extreme short stature such as in skeletal dysplasias but evaluations of growth pattern with changes in height position is complicated when height develops far below normal population range.

  4. 3. Growth and morbidity in extreme preterm born infants

    Författare :Eva Horemuzova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Rapid development in neonatal care during the past years has significantly improved long-term survival of extreme preterm born (EPB) infants creating a population of children with a high frequency of disabilities. Being lighter and shorter, as compared to full-term (FT) born child, predisposes the EPB infants to intensive nutritional interventions aiming for growth-promoting effect. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The general aim was to monitor pregnancy for improved perinatal outcome in Mozambique. A cohort of 817 Mozambican pregnant women were followed from their first antenatal clinic visit to the end of the perinatal period in two suburban/semirural antenatal clinics in Maputo. Nine percent were lost to follow-up. LÄS MER
