Growth and Growth Hormone Secretion Following Cranial and Craniospinal Irradiation in Children with Malignant Disease
grow. The Bristol paediatric oncology and paediatric endocrinology services have collaborated to investigate the effects of chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation on the longitudinal growth of survivors. Figure 1 shows the longitudinal height-attained growth chart of a child who grew poorly following treatment for a medulloblastoma. Our experience, and that of others, is that children treate...
متن کاملGrowth Hormone Secretion and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis Function after Cranial Radiotherapy in Children
Background: When the hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) is included in the treatment field in children and adults, a variety of neuroendocrine disturbances are more common especially in children than has been appreciated in the past. This study was carried out to evaluate growth hormone secretion and the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis function in children after cranial radiotherapy. Subject...
متن کاملDefective growth hormone secretion in children with pycnodysostosis and improved linear growth after growth hormone treatment.
Short stature is a characteristic feature of pycnodysostosis. We report defective growth hormone secretion in response to provocation and low insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentration in five out of six patients with pycnodysostosis. Physiological replacement with growth hormone increased IGF-I concentration and improved linear growth in these children.
متن کاملGrowth of functional cranial components in rats with intrauterine growth retardation after treatment with growth hormone.
The goal of this study was to analyse the effect of growth hormone (GH) on catch-up growth of functional facial (splanchnocranial) and neurocranial components in rats with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control (C), sham-operated (SH), IUGR, and IUGR + GH. IUGR was surgically induced and GH was administered between 21 and 60 days of a...
متن کاملGrowth and growth hormone secretion after bone marrow transplantation.
This study analyses the growth and the growth hormone secretion of children given various conditioning protocols before bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Twenty nine children (14 boys, 15 girls) given BMT were classified according to their conditioning protocol: total body irradiation (TBI) given as a single exposure of 10 Grays (Gy, group I, 11 cases), or 8 Gy (group II, four cases), 12 Gy gi...
