In estrogen replacement therapy in Turner syndrome, there is no report which recommends the timing of the start of estrogen therapy in relation to height or adult height prediction. We have established a prediction model for pubertal growth (height difference from the start of estrogen therapy until adult height) at the start of estrogen replacement therapy. Twenty-seven Turner girls without sp...

Sixteen African giant rats (Cricetomys gambianus Waterhouse), consisting of 8 male and 8 female rats, were used to determine neurocranial measurements of the skulls. The mean neurocranial volume was 5.06 + or - 0.05 mL, neurocranial length was 3.33 + or - 0.08 cm, and the neurocranial height and index were 1.39 + or - + or - 0.04 cm and 41.74%, respectively. The mean whole skull length and heig...
