BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a crucial component of plant nutrition, and its deficiency limits productivity of crops more than any other element. To manage the sorghum crop for achievement of maximum forage production, the farmer should be concerned about nitrogen requirement and plant height. OBJECTIVES: This research was carried out to evaluate response of m...

Short stature and ovarian failure are the main features in Turner syndrome (TS). To optimize GH and estrogen treatment, we studied 68 previously untreated girls with TS, age 2-11 yr, who were randomly assigned to one of three GH dosage groups: group A, 4 IU/m2 day (approximately 0.045 mg/kg x day); group B, first yr 4, thereafter 6 IU/m2 x day (approximately 0.0675 mg/kg/day); group C, first yr...

Highlights Three automatic boom height systems were compared: BoomTrac Pro (A), AutoBoom XRT (B), and UC5 Passive Roll (C). Boom leveling performance was quantified for three runs on each of terrains at least speeds. System B kept the significantly closer to target than Systems A C. had less variability Abstract . Automatic reduce agricultural sprayer height. Consistent is important key reasons...

An association between body height and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been suggested by previous studies including males only. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the sex-specific impact of body height on risk of VTE in a general population. Risk factors, including body height and weight, were registered for 26,727 subjects aged 25-96 years who participated in the Trom...

Wearing high heels alters walking kinematics and kinetics and can create potentiallyadverse effects on the body. Our purpose was to determine how heel height affects frontalplane joint moments at the hip, knee, and ankle, with a specific focus on the external kneemoment due to its importance in medial loading and knee osteoarthritis. Fifteen womencompleted overground walking tri...

BACKGROUND To examine long-term growth benefit of newborn screening (NBS), adolescent peak height velocity (PHV), and adult height were compared between the screened (diagnosed early via NBS) and the control (identified generally by symptoms) in the Wisconsin Randomized Clinical Trial. METHODS Data from 107 children born in 1985-1994 and followed through 2012 were analyzed. PHV was estimated ...

OBJECTIVES Growth retardation is a frequent complication of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Only a few studies report the final height of these patients, with controversial results. We compared adult height of patients with paediatric IBD with that of patients with adult-onset disease. METHODS Height data of 675 women 19-44 years of age and 454 men 23-44 years of age obtained at ...

BACKGROUND The extent to which adult height, a biomarker of the interplay of genetic endowment and early-life experiences, is related to risk of chronic diseases in adulthood is uncertain. METHODS We calculated hazard ratios (HRs) for height, assessed in increments of 6.5 cm, using individual-participant data on 174374 deaths or major non-fatal vascular outcomes recorded among 1085949 people ...

Women’s stature has been studied extensively as a predictor of mode of delivery. Short stature of women has shown to be associated with increased risk of cesarean section.1 However, controversy exists on such association. Mahmood et al2 in their study cohort of 563 women, noted that 80% of the women with height less that 160 cm delivered vaginally. Similarly, Moller et al3 suggested the role of...

A field experiment was performed on growth and yield of mustard (Brassica juncea L.)” variety NRCHB-101 at Agricultural college, PJTSAU, Polasa, Jagtial, during spring 2021-2022. The soil the experimental site sandy clay loam in texture. present research work tested randomized block design with 11 treatments comprising different nutrient management practices i.e. T1: Control, T2: 100% NPK @60-4...
