Abstract

To describe growth parameters in children followed longitudinally from 10 months of age to 18 years and to compare these data with reference values obtain in children born 30 years earlier. A follow study started in 1985 in Paris Health Centres at the ages of I 0 months, 2 and 4 years and subsequently at home every 2 years. Anthropometric data were compared with reference values derived from the French sample of the International Longitudinal Growth study which started in 1953-59. As compared to the reference values, children were taller. At the age of 18 years, in boys, height increase was 5.6 cm. This difference appeared as early as at the age of 12 years. Height increase in girls was 1.6 cm, but this difference was greater at 12. Thereafter, height gain was smaller than 30 years before. The Skélique index was greater due to longer leg length. Fat mass was higher and displayed a more android pattern. A higher prevalence of overweight appeared from the age of 8 years. Nowadays, growth processes seem unfavourable as compared to 30 years earlier. Fast growth, long leg length, android body fat distribution and overweight are associated with risk factors of various pathologies(cardiovascular diseases and cancer). Factors promoting...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
