INTRODUCTION: Nearly all growth benefits the poor, but some types of growth benefit the poor much more than other types (Bruno et al. 1998, Timmer 1997, Datt and Ravallion 1998, Timmer 1996, Ravallion and Huppi 1989, Ravallion and Chen 1989). As a result, the choices that governments make in pursuing economic growth matter a great deal to the impact of any resulting growth on poverty. This shor...

Silver-Russell Syndrome 5 (SRS5) is characterized by asymmetric Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), poor postnatal growth

• Pro-poor growth requires attention on productive sectors and on developing an enabling environment • Strategies for pro-poor growth must be embedded in nationally-owned development plans • Donors must understand the political economy of pro-poor policy processes, and provide support that is long-term, predictable, flexible and responsive to country situations D espite rapid urbanisation in de...

Platelets sequester angiogenesis regulatory proteins early in tumor growth, which suggests a new avenue for monitoring disease. To date, there are no clinically relevant reference ranges for markers of early angiogenesis. We introduce a new ELISA-based method for accurate and reproducible measurement of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), platelet f...

Fifteen clinical isolates of Fusobacterium species were studied to determine their quality of growth on five agar media, their susceptibility to penicillin, cephalothin, cefoxitin, and cefotaxime, the inoculum effect, and the presence of L forms and beta-lactamase. Wilkins-Chalgren agar supported confluent growth best, but Fusobacterium nucleatum exhibited poor growth on all agar media. Most is...

The thrust of this study is the implication economic and social globalization on pro-poor growth. KOF indexes de facto jure was utilized for study. Data variables were obtained from National Bureau Statistics (NBS) World Bank WDI among others. data analysis conducted using ARDL model, bounds cointegration unit root test in addition to descriptive statistics. results showed that are fractionally...
