Objective: Measuring head circumference is a quick, simple, cheap, noninvasive and reliable procedure for determining underlying brain size provides information about risk medical problems. Growth percentages of vary from one community to another.
 Methods: We aim create growth curves children aged 0-18 years in Turkish community. Measurements were performed by same person using rigid cali...

Background: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are prone to malnutrition and growth retardation. This study aimed to compare growth status between children with CHD and healthy children.                Materials and Methods: This case–control study included 310 children with CHD and 300 healthy children matched in age and gender. CHD patients grouped according to cardiac diagnosis: ...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the fetal biometric growth measurements (Head Circumference, Bi-Parietal Diameter, and Femur Length) between male female fetuses on antenatal ultrasound in our population. Methodology: This an observational carried out Department Radiology CMH Malir, Karachi Ziauddin hospital, from July 2016 till 2018 using non-probability sampling technique. A to...

OBJECTIVE An accurate assessment of the nutritional status of an infant at birth is very important, since it provides information on early identification of pathological events related to intrauterine growth acceleration or retardation. Anthropometric ratios such as weight/length and mid-arm circumference/head circumference may be used as alternative tools for this purpose. The main objective o...

BACKGROUND Extrauterine growth restriction is common among very low birth weight infants (VLBW, BW <1,500 g). Optimal postnatal nutrient supply is essential to limit growth restriction and ensure adequate growth and neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVES We compared an enhanced postnatal nutrient supply to a standard supply and evaluated the effects on growth velocity, head circumference growth and cer...

Familial correlations in birth weight and gestational age have been explained by fetal and maternal genetic factors, mainly in studies on offspring of twins. The aim of the present intergenerational study was to estimate and compare fetal and maternal genetic effects and shared sibling environmental effects on birth weight and gestational age and also on crown-heel length and head circumference...

background: adolescent pregnancy and childbirth are associated with increased risk and challenges for both mothers and birth outcomes. objective: to investigate the associations of growth change over time with parenting factors and to compare the differences between children born to adolescent and adult mothers in taiwan. materials and methods: the dataset retrieved from taiwan birth cohort stu...
