Recombinant human GH (rhGH) has been in use for 30 years, and over that time its safety and efficacy in children and adults has been subject to considerable scrutiny. In 2001, a statement from the GH Research Society (GRS)...
Matter-Wave Diffraction from a Quasicrystalline Optical Lattice.
Quasicrystals are long-range ordered and yet nonperiodic. This interplay results in a wealth of intriguing physical phenomena, such as the inheritance of topological properties from higher dimensions, and the presence of...
Optimizing Patient Management and Adherence for Children Receiving Growth Hormone.
Poor adherence with growth hormone (GH) therapy has been associated with worse clinical outcomes, which in children relates specifically to their linear growth and loss of quality of life. The "360° GH in Europe" meeting, held...
Time for a general approval of growth hormone treatment in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome.

BACKGROUND: We tested the accuracy of immunocytochemistry (ICC) for minichromosome maintenance protein-2 (MCM-2) in diagnosing bladder cancer, using cells retrieved from urine. METHODS: Adequate samples were obtained from 497...
Increases in bioactive IGF do not parallel increases in total IGF-I during growth hormone treatment of children born SGA.

BACKGROUND: Some children born small for gestational age (SGA) experience supra-physiological insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations during GH treatment. However, measurements of total IGF-I concentrations may not...

Growth hormone (GH) can profoundly influence cardiac function. While GH excess causes well-defined cardiac pathology, fewer data are available regarding the more subtle cardiac changes seen in GH deficiency (GHD). This...
Farmers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the Cocoa Disease and Pest Control Programme (CODEPEC) in Ghana and its effects on poverty reduction
The study examined the contribution of the Cocoa Disease and Pest Control Programme (CODAPEC), which is a cocoa production-enhancing government policy, to reducing poverty and raising the living standards of cocoa farmers in...
Point process simulation of generalised inverse Gaussian processes and estimation of the Jaeger integral
In this paper novel simulation methods are provided for the generalised inverse Gaussian (GIG) L\'{e}vy process. Such processes are intractable for simulation except in certain special edge cases, since the L\'{e}vy density...

Piezoelectric Performance and Hydrostatic Parameters of Novel 2–2-Type Composites
This paper provides a detailed study of the structure - piezoelectric property relationships and the hydrostatic response of 2–2-type composites based on relaxor-ferroelectric...

New orientation effect in piezo-active 1-3-type composites
This paper demonstrates the influence of the mutual orientation of the poling direction of single-crystal and ceramic components on the properties of 1-0-3 composites containing two ferroelectric components and a...
A surface endogalactanase in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron confers keystone status for arabinogalactan degradation.

Glycans are major nutrients for the human gut microbiota (HGM). Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) comprise a heterogenous group of plant glycans in which a β1,3-galactan backbone and β1,6-galactan side chains are conserved....
High piezoelectric sensitivity and hydrostatic figures of merit in unidirectional porous ferroelectric ceramics fabricated by freeze casting
High performance lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics with aligned porosity for sensing applications were fabricated by an ice-templating method. To demonstrate the enhanced properties of these materials and their potential...

Dispositional Mindfulness and its Relationship to Distress and Functioning in Adolescents with Chronic Pain and Low-Level Pain
Objective: Dispositional mindfulness is the general tendency to pay attention to present-moment awareness without judgment. The main aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine: a) whether dispositional mindfulness is...
Pain
Perception is seen as a process that utilises partial and noisy information to construct a coherent understanding of the world. Here we argue that the experience of pain is no different; it is based on incomplete, multimodal...
