... anthropometrics for Germany are lacking. Objectives: To construct reference tables and centile curves for birth weight (g), crown-heel length (cm) and head circumference (cm) by sex and GA for German DS neonates. Methods: Retrospective anthropometric data from live-born singleton DS neonates born in Germany from...

... ventricular function in adults and children. Objective: We determined growth and birth weight-related changes of S′ to establish reference values in preterm and term neonates. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in a group of 290 preterm and term neonates (gestational age 26 + 0 to 40 + 6 weeks...

... and experienced significant catch-up growth. Adult IUGR pigs also had higher BP (diastolic BP: 93.8 ± 5.5 vs. 90.0 ± 8.7 mm Hg, p < 0.05) and 43% fewer nephrons per kidney (p < 0.05). Nephron number was positively associated with birth weight and negatively correlated with BP (p < 0.05). Acute salt...

Wild-type alleles of the CA repeat polymorphisms differed from those reported in other populations. Newborn and maternal intron 2...

...% in children). Additionally, there was a correlation between maternal and infantile Lp(a) levels (p < 0.0001) and between elevated maternal Lp(a) level and lower birth weight (p = 0.027). Conclusions: Elevated maternal Lp(a) is apparently a risk factor for neonatal arterial ischemic stroke. We speculate...

...Mitchell P. Dombrowski; Stanley M. Berry; William W. Hurd; AbdelAziz A. Saleh; Larry Chik; Robert J. Sokol A placental weight (P) to birth weight (W) relationship, W = P 1.5 × constant (A), was presented in 1966. However, based on histological and theoretical studies, placental efficiency increases...

...Sushil K. Jain; Mortal Shah; Leigh Ransonet; Rodney Wise; Joseph A. Bocchini, Jr. Animal studies have shown that maternal protein deficiency during pregnancy affects fetal birth weight. This study has examined whether or not the fetal birth weight of full-term newborns has any relationship...

...Henrietta Man-Hing Ip The recorded data on birth weight and gestational age of 16,836 babies born at Tsan Yuk Hospital in Hong Kong for the years 1970 to 1972 was analysed by computer. The means, standard deviations, and percentiles were separately obtained for nine sub-groups between 28 and 42...

...G. Cabello; D. Levieux The experiments reported involve 18 Romanov lambs born spontaneously between 135 and 145 days of gestation. Their birth weights ranged between 1.22 and 3.55 kg. The neonatal changes in plasma cortisol, triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels were observed from birth to 30 days...

...Jaime C. Smal; Cuno S.P.M. Uiterwaal; Hein W. Bruinse; Paul Steendijk; Frank van Bel Background: Various studies have shown an association between low birth weight and the prevalence of elevated blood pressure later in life. However, a relationship between birth weight and blood pressure...

... prolidase activity and both birth weight and gestational age. Methods: Cord blood was collected consecutively from 50 healthy newborns (35 term, 15 preterm). Prolidase activity was measured in the samples using standard methods. Results: Themean ± SD cord blood prolidase activity was 41.4 ± 6.9 U/l in term...
