On the construction of the infancy-childhood-puberty growth standard

Acta Paediatrica Scandinavica. Supplement
J Karlberg

Abstract

Using the infancy-childhood-puberty (ICP) growth model, the postnatal linear growth curve is mathematically broken down into three components: infancy, childhood and puberty. The fact that each component of this model seems to represent a defined biological phase of the growth process, extends its clinical application. The principles used to construct the ICP growth standard and the basic 'clinical' ICP-based growth charts are described. These charts have a number of advantages over the conventional growth charts currently in use. Most importantly, the ICP growth chart provides reference values not only for total growth but also for each of the three individual components. Using this methodology, the magnitude and the onset of each component can be assessed in an individual child. The age at onset of the childhood component, which is a newly discovered and important feature of human growth, can easily be detected in an individual child. Furthermore, prepubertal growth, onset of puberty and pubertal growth can be accurately assessed, because the difference in pubertal maturation is taken into account when setting standards during adolescence. The methodology also offers a new and highly accurate predictor of final height and per...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.
