Eight different morphometric dimensions were monitored on 106 lamb carcasses belonging to three Catalan meat sheep breeds (Ripollesa, Rousillon Red and Xisqueta). Our purpose was to examine differences with regard to measurable carcass dimensions and also to establish between and within breed relationships among the carcass components. Measured variables included: carcass weight (CW), leg lengt...

This research aim was to determine the morphometric characteristics of native chickens in Huamual District. A total 300 adult Kampung (consisting 150 males and females) with more than 20 weeks age were used as samples. Analysis qualitative traits by calculating proportions or percentages, where grouped sex. Quantitative analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis mean, standard deviation, c...

Length and weight in infancy are associated with neurodevelopment, but less is known about growth in other anthropometric measures. In this study we analyzed how the development in length, weight, head circumference, and chest circumference over infancy is associated with motor development in early childhood, using a twin study design. Information on physical development over infancy and the ag...

A morphing technique aimed to correlate lung cancer patient’s chest cross circumference variations with tumor morphology during quiet respiration is here described. Two CT slices corresponding to the same tumor section are acquired at forced inspiration and forced expiration and correlated with chest circumference values. An image sequence has been obtained by applying a linear morphing transfo...

To determine regional percentile values and compare them with currently used national and international curves, we determined the birth weight, height and head and chest circumference of 3688 term neonates born in a state hospital in the Anatolian part of Istanbul, Turkey. Mean birth weight, height and head and chest circumference were 3334 (SD 494) g, 48.3 (SD 2.2) cm, 34.4 (SD 1.3) cm and 32....

In developing countries, low birth weight (BW < 2500 grams) accounts for 60% 80% of neonatal deaths. Early identification and referral of LBW babies for extra essential newborn care is vital in preventing neonatal deaths. Studies carried out in different populations have suggested that the use of newborn anthropometric surrogates of birth weight may be a simple and reliable method to identify L...
