Some have argued for the direct use of newborn growth curve to predict small gestational age (SGA) infants based on prenatal ultrasound estimated fetal weight (EFW). Our objective was compare Hadlock (GC) with Fenton (FC) in predicting SGA EFW. We performed a retrospective cohort study from 01/01/18 01/01/19 all ultrasounds 30+0 32+6 and 35+0 36+6 weeks single institution. Multifetal gestations...

THE usual graphical method of expressing the increase of bacterial growth rate in a media by means of the bacterial number/time curve, has several disadvantages, inasmuch as that the maximum growth rate cannot be accurately determined, nor the period of optimum propagation. An improved method of presenting a bacterial growth-rate curve and eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages will now b...
