We present growth curves of 1,726 Turkish children with Down syndrome (DS) between 0 and 18 years of age and investigate the factors that affect growth including congenital heart disease (CHD) and hypothyroidism. Longitudinal measurements of height, weight, and head circumference (HC) were assessed and accompanying major malformations were recorded. Growth curves were monitored using Cole's LMS...

currently autografts are gold standards for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration. but autografts have some limitations. bone tissue engineering has been introduced to overcome these limitations. it consist three components: stem cells, growth factor, and scaffold. scaffold provides an environment for bone growth and simplifies cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation. in this review, a...

BACKGROUND Overweight and obesity in young people are assessed by comparing body mass index (BMI) with a reference population. However, two widely used reference standards, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) growth curves, have different definitions of overweight and obesity, thus affecting estimates of prevalence. We compared the associ...
