We have measured by cation exchange high pressure liquid chromatography adult hemoglobin (HbA) concentration at birth in 6,123 unselected single newborn individuals. Probably because of the high precision of the analytical method used, we could demonstrate clear a relationship between HbA concentration and, respectively, gestational age and birth weight. We also demonstrated a significant diffe...

the aim of the current research was to compare motor development in 3–6-year-old children from ahvaz with denver developmental screening test ii. themethodology of this research was descriptive – survey. the statistical populationconsisted of children from ahvaz and 1044 children aged between 3 and 6 wereselected from ahvaz kindergartens by cluster random sampling method. denverdevelopmental sc...

A spindle detection method was developed that: (1) extracts the signal of interest (i.e., spindle-related phasic changes in sigma) relative to ongoing "background" sigma activity using complex demodulation, (2) accounts for variations of spindle characteristics across the night, scalp derivations and between individuals, and (3) employs a minimum number of sometimes arbitrary, user-defined para...

BACKGROUND Central body fat is a better predictor than overall body fat for cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in both adults and children. Waist circumference (WC) has been used as a proxy measure of central body fat. Children at high CV risk may be identified by WC measurements. Waist-to-height ratio (WHTR) has been proposed as an alternative, conveniently age-independent measure of CV risk alt...

juanita hernandez is an 18-month-old hispanic, the younger of two children. juanita was at the 25th percentile for height and weight at birth, but both measurements fell to just below the 5th percentile during her first year. for the last 6 months however, her rate of growth has been normal and her height and weight curves lie parallel to just below the 5th percentile. juanita appears quite sma...

BACKGROUND In older children, one of the standards for indexing left ventricular mass (LVM) is height raised to an exponential power of 2.7. The purpose of this study was to establish a normal value for the pediatric age group and to determine how, if at all, LVM/height(2.7) varies in children. METHODS M-mode echocardiography was performed in 2,273 nonobese, healthy children (1,267 boys, 1,00...

Abstract. In this paper, we derive the exact formula of Klein’s fundamental 2-form of second kind for the so-called Cab curves. The problem was initially solved by Klein in the 19th century for the hyper-elliptic curves, but little progress had been seen for its extension for more than 100 years. Recently, it has been addressed by several authors, and was solved for subclasses of the Cab curves...
