BACKGROUND Our study aimed to evaluate final height in a cohort of Dutch childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and assess possible determinants of final height, including height at diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We calculated standard deviation scores (SDS) for height at initial cancer diagnosis and height in adulthood in a cohort of 573 CCS. Multivariable regression analyses were carried out to ...

An association between body height and venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been suggested by previous studies including males only. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the sex-specific impact of body height on risk of VTE in a general population. Risk factors, including body height and weight, were registered for 26,727 subjects aged 25-96 years who participated in the Trom...

This study uses two regionwide data sets, one exemplified by intensive management and the other by nonintensive management, to investigate whether including regional locale and thinning response improves the loblolly pine height– diameter relationship. Results showed that including geographic coordinates as scaled variables, in addition to including a thinning response modifier, reduces the var...

introduction: height is an important biological human characteristic in anthropological studies and forensic medicine. in this way, forearm length (fal) can be a useful factor for the height prediction in different population. the goal of this study was to find the relation between fal and height in natives of kerman. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 150 cases including 75 males and 75 fema...

Computer modeling of 10 patients' computed tomographic scans was used to study the variables affecting hip arthroplasty range of motion before bony impingement (ROMBI) including acetabular offset and height, femoral offset, height and anteversion, and osteophyte removal. The ROMBI was compared with the ROM before component impingement and the native hip ROM. The ROMBI decreased with decreased t...

In this paper we establish three results on small-height zeros of quadratic polynomials over Q. For a single quadratic form in N ≥ 2 variables on a subspace of Q , we prove an upper bound on the height of a smallest nontrivial zero outside of an algebraic set under the assumption that such a zero exists. For a system of k quadratic forms on an L-dimensional subspace of Q , N ≥ L ≥ k(k+1) 2 + 1,...
