Accessible online at: www.karger.com/hre When discussing total pubertal growth, it is essential that the times of onset and completion of puberty are defined accurately. For example, Gasser and colleagues [1] studied growth curves from boys and girls and defined the onset of puberty as the nadir of growth velocity (i.e. zero growth acceleration). The end of puberty was defined as the point of m...

PURPOSE The Quality of Life in Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency Assessment (QoL-AGHDA) is a disease-specific quality of life measure specific to individuals who are growth hormone deficient. The present study describes the adaptation of the QoL-AGHDA for use in the following four Slavic languages; Czech, Polish, Serbian and Slovakian. METHODS The study involved three stages in each language; t...

critical in the control of the secretion of insulin like growth factor I' Interestingly, high concentrations of this growth factor have been found in patients with progressive exudative lesions.' Our findings suggest that growth hormone is not essential for the initiation and development of diabetic retinopathy. Our patient's normal concentrations of insulin like growth factor I and her growth ...

Human growth hormone (hGH) gene deletion (6.7 to 7.6 kb) is one of the causes of isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD), named IGHD IA. IGHD IA, however, only accounts for about 10% of the total IGHD patients. Most IGHD is caused by unknown mechanisms. Here, hGH gene 5' sequences in three IGHD patients without hGH gene deletion were analysed to see if there was any mutation hindering the exp...
