Body proportions in Turner's syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Body proportion was studied in Turner's syndrome by measurement of standing an sitting heights in relation to chronological and bone age. The mean standard deviation score for standing height was -3.8. Disproportionate growth of the legs was not a major determinant of short stature, either before or after oestrogen replacement.

Effect of obesity on endogenous secretion of growth hormone in Turner's syndrome.
Nocturnal growth hormone secretion over a 12 hour period was assessed at 20 minute intervals in 25 prepubertal subjects with Turner's syndrome and 11 normal prepubertal girls of short stature to try and elucidate the relationship between body weight and endogenous secretion of growth hormone in Turner's syndrome. There were no differences in mean growth hormone concentration, age, height, or gr...

متن کاملGrowth hormone and craniofacial changes: preliminary data from studies in Turner's syndrome.
Normal craniofacial and dental growth and development is dependent on growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Deficiencies of either during childhood cause diminished growth of the maxilla and (to a greater degree) the mandible. Dental development/eruption also is compromised. Conversely, excessive GH/insulin-like growth factor I causes overgrowth, with the mandible again ...
متن کاملBone maturation in girls with Turner's syndrome.
The mechanism of growth retardation in Turner's syndrome has not been resolved. It is often referred to as a bone dysplasia, although endocrine derangement has not been ruled out. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the maturation of individual bones of the hand and wrist in girls with Turner's syndrome and thereby obtain information which may aid in elaborating the possible mechanism ...
متن کاملLeg lengthening for short stature in Turner's syndrome.
We describe ten patients with Turner's syndrome (karyotype 45, XO) who had leg lengthening for short stature. A high incidence of postoperative complications was encountered and many patients required intramedullary fixation as a salvage procedure. We discuss the reasons for this and highlight the differences between our findings and those of a similar series recently reported. In view of the c...
