Postnatal human lung growth.
Standard morphometric methods were applied to the lungs of 36 boys and 20 girls aged from 6 weeks to 14 years, dying as a result of trauma or after short illnesses. Individual lung units, alveolar dimensions, and number of alveoli per unit area and volume did not differ between boys and girls, but boys had bigger lungs than girls for the same stature. This resulted in a larger total number of a...
متن کاملPostnatal sellar spine growth
BACKGROUND A sellar spine is a bony spur protruding anteriorly from the central portion of the dorsum sellae. Its etiology is an ossified notochordal remnant of the cephalic end of the notochord. It is presumed to be a congenital malformation based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of sellar spine in a 4-year-old boy. A sellar spine should therefore be detectable at birth with or wit...
متن کاملPostnatal Growth Responses to Insulin-Like Growth
Organ weight was compared in adult mice with deletion of one (IRS-1) or both (IRS-1) copies of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) gene and IRS-1 littermates. IRS-1 mice showed modest reductions in weight of most organs in proportion to a decrease in body weight. IRS-1 mice showed major reductions in weight of heart, liver, and spleen that were directly proportional to a decrease in body w...
متن کاملEarly influences of nutrition on postnatal growth.
Health and nutrition modulate postnatal growth. The availability of amino acids and energy, and insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) regulates early growth through the mTOR pathway. Amino acids and glucose also stimulate the secretion of IGF-I and insulin. Postnatal growth induces lasting, programming effects on later body size and adiposity in animals and in human observational stu...
متن کاملPOOR postnatal growth of preterm neonates
continues to be a major problem. Intrauterine growth retardation is an additional risk factor in the growth of preterm infants. Breast milk is considered as the best food for the neonates due to its several nutritional and immunologic advantages but this has been well established that(1,2) human milk is an inadequate source of protein and minerals for growing premature babies. Very low birth we...
