This study aimed to determine the phenotypic diversity of quantitative characteristics and results analysis kinship relationships local chickens in Kediri by using 60 adult male chickens. Data were obtained directly observing according variables: head length, chest-length, wing length from right left, shank back neck circumference, chest circumference. The showed that majority phenotypes Kediri...

To identify an inexpensive, reliable predictor of low birth weight capable of being utilized by untrained personnel, anthropometric measures were performed on 1600 newborns in Kanpur, India. This analysis indicated that, for a birth weight of 2500 g, the critical limit of calf circumference was 10.8 cm or less. Critical limits for crown-heel length, head circumference, chest circumference, mi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of chest circumference-adapted scanning protocol on radiation exposure and image quality in patients undergoing prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered coronary CT angiography (CCTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred-eighty-five consecutive patients, who had undergone prospective ECG triggering CCTA with a 128-slice CT, were included in the present study....

Body sizes at birth are important clinical indicators widely used for evaluation of prenatal growth. Japan had significant socioeconomic improvement around the 1960s, and these environmental changes may influence physiologically prenatal growth. Furthermore, in Japan, measurements of size at birth for birth certificates are weight and height. Thus, we can refer to annual data on weight and heig...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the most appropriate surrogate indicator and its cut off point for identifying low birthweight babies in northern India. STUDY SETTING A secondary level hospital at Ballabgarh. The patients were from nearby rural and urban areas and mostly belonged to lower and middle socioeconomic strata. PARTICIPANTS These comprised 733 singleton newborns delivered in the hosp...

According to the World Health Organization, birth-weight of less than 2,500 g is considered low birth-weight since below this value birth-specific infant mortality begins to rise rapidly. In Bangladesh, the prevalence of low birth-weight is unacceptably high. To screen low-birth-weight babies, simple anthropometric parameters can be used in rural areas where 80-90% of deliveries take place. A s...

BACKGROUND Low birth weight (Birth weight < 2500 g) is a leading cause of prenatal and neonatal deaths. The early identification of Low birth weight (LBW) neonates is essential for any comprehensive initiative to improve their chance of survival. However, a large proportion of births in developing countries take place at home and birth weight statistics are not available. Therefore, there is a ...

A cross-sectional study of adolescent growth was undertaken among the Brahmin girls residing in rural and urban areas of Sagar districts, Madhya Pradesh to evaluate the urban-rural differences. Six anthropometric measurements, such as weight, stature, sitting height, head circumference, upper arm circumference and chest girth are taken into consideration. Though the urban girls show consistentl...

QUESTION What is the relationship between vibration of the chest wall and the resulting chest wall force, chest wall circumference,intrapleural pressure, and expiratory flow rate? Is the change in intrapleural pressure during vibration the sum of the intrapleural pressure due to recoil of the lung, chest wall compression, and chest wall oscillation? DESIGN Randomised, within-subject,experimen...
